Duodenal duplication is a rare congenital malformation and has been reported as a rare cause of recurrent acute pancreatitis. Hemorrhagic ascites has been reported in only ...
Computational analysis and predictive modeling of polymorph descriptors
(2013-02-04)
Abstract
Background
A computation approach based on integrating high throughput binding affinity comparison and binding descriptor classifications was utilized to establish the ...
Antioxidant-mediated up-regulation of OGG1 via NRF2 induction is associated with inhibition of oxidative DNA damage in estrogen-induced breast cancer
(2013-05-22)
Abstract
Background
Estrogen metabolism-mediated oxidative stress is suggested to play an important role in estrogen-induced breast carcinogenesis. We have earlier demonstrated that antioxidants, ...
Meta-analysis of molecular response of kidney to ischemia reperfusion injury for the identification of new candidate genes
(2013-10-24)
Abstract
Background
Accumulated to-date microarray data on ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) of kidney represent a powerful source for identifying new targets and mechanisms of kidney IRI. In ...

(2013-11-13)
Abstract
Background
Neurocognitive impairments remain prevalent in HIV-1 infected individuals despite current antiretroviral therapies. It is increasingly becoming evident that astrocytes ...
Evaluation of a new fluorescence quantitative PCR test for diagnosing Helicobacter pylori infection in children
(2013-01-14)
Abstract
Background
Numerous diagnostic tests are available to detect Helicobactor pylori (H. pylori). There has been no single test available to detect H. pylori infection reliably. We evaluated ...
