Rapid, unexplained weight loss may be caused by cancer, diabetes, thyroid disease, Crohn’s, Parkinson’s, HIV, drug abuse, or dementia. It may also be the result of mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). ...
Unexplained rapid weight loss in older people could be a sign of underlying disease and can be linked with increased risk of falls and fractures, as well as a poorer long-term prognosis. The understanding of factors that could contribute to rapidweight lossremains poor, with current treatments i...
Postmortem Long QT Syndrome Genetic Testing for Sudden Unexplained Death in the Young - ScienceDirect This study sought to determine the spectrum and prevalence of long QT syndrome (LQTS)-associated mutations in a large cohort of autopsy-negative sudden une......
To address these gaps, we developed a genetic system that identifies essential non-survival functions of EpoR signaling. We rescued mouseEpor−/−fetal liver progenitors from apoptosis by transduction with the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xL, and compared their ensuing differentiation with that ofEpor...
Therefore, different clinical settings, ranging from in vitro fertilization (IVF) and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), perinatal analysis involving fetal and newborn tissues and the analysis of children with unexplained clinical symptoms to cancer research, have utilized a method called ‘...
6. Calculate new single-value index scores for each stream by multiplying the un-scaled weight by the original raw variable point values (as scored in the field) for each stream. The re-weighted point values for each variable are then summed to compute the single-value index score. Water ...
