Carriers of the polymorphism Pro12Ala of the PPAR gamma 2 gene had a significantly higher obesity risk than noncarriers (odds ratio (OR)=2.18, 95% CI=1.09-4.36) when we adjusted for sex, age and physical activity. Moreover, the risk of obesity was higher (OR=2.59, 95% CI=1.17-5.34...
In the case of the child with the most significant B-cell recovery and persistent IgM normalization (patient N7), IgRT was stopped at the age of 2.5 years. Over the subsequent 2 years, this child maintained age-appropriate IgG levels and remained clinically stable. Another patient (patient N3...
Those subjects with normal plasma homocysteine values had an increased hypertensive risk with an odds ratio of 2.6 for the PP genotype of the PPARγ2 gene and an odds ratio of 1.8 for the a allele of the eNOS gene.Both analyzed polymorphisms were associated in a synergistic manner with ...
Therefore, our results indicate that the extended periods of DNA free ends exposure increase the odds of mtDNA deletion formation, which can be propagated and accumulated during aging. The mechanism of re-circularization/recombination remains unknown. In agreement with our previous results, only small...
In particular, in the first case the observed time-dependence t^-1.32 of the soft X--ray flux is easily reproduced. The same model, when the surrounding matter density scales as a r^-2, explains the afterglow of GRB 970508}, which may at first sight appear at odds with that of GRB ...
When we set PVD as the independent variable, we found that hs-CRP, and age were significant in relation to vascular disease (p=0.005, odds ratio (OR): 0.014, 95 % CI: 0.001–0.269; p=0.000, OR: 0.001, 95 % CI: 0.000–0.032 respectively). We found that the independent ...
384Hormone therapy reduces plasma TFPI levels by 30% to 50% and may contribute to the risk of thrombosis associated with exogenous estrogen therapy.378Plasma TFPI levels below the 10th percentile are a weak risk factor for deepvein thrombosis(odds ratio, 1.1 to 1.7),375,385,386and patients ...
the odds are you’ve already seen the show. There’s a lot of overlap in the Venn diagram describing people who are gamers and people who wonder if a ninja would win in a fight with a pirate. And if you haven’t seen the show yet, it’s definitely worth checking out for that alon...
Using a Bonferroni-corrected threshold of 0.007, we found strong associations between GABRA2 and AD (P=9 × 10−6 and odds ratio (OR) 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.27 (1.15, 1.4) for rs567926, P=4 × 10−5 and OR=1.21 (1.1, 1.32) for rs279858), and between GABRG2 and ...
23,24). When combined with optical spectroscopy results5, this corresponds to an extremely high mass ofMpsr = 2.4 ± 0.1 M⊙, higher than that of any other known neutron star. This is at odds with most equation-of-state models, which predict lower maximum neutron star ...
