Cluster Winds Blow along Supercluster Axes
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1998)
Within Abell galaxy clusters containing wide-angle tailed (WAT) radio sources, there is evidence of a `prevailing wind' which directs the WAT jets. We study the alignment of WAT jets and nearby clusters to test the idea ...

"The most recent Annals of Internal Medicine (10-5-10) has a nice In the Clinic review of C Diff (Volume 153, ITC4). These reviews are concise, to the point and well referenced."...
Nonlocal modification of Newtonian gravity
(American Physical Society, 2010)
The Newtonian regime of a recent nonlocal extension of general relativity is investigated. Nonlocality is introduced via a scalar “constitutive” kernel in a special case of the translational gauge theory of gravitation, ...
Patient satisfaction and anxiety with informed consent delivered through informational video compared to the traditional physician interview [abstract]
(2010)
Objective: 1. To evaluate patient satisfaction and anxiety towards informed consent with traditional physician interview compared to combination of watching an informational video and patient-specific physician interview. 2. To discover how...

Plants are just very slow animals
(2010-03)
Most of us regard plants as quite different from animals, and many of us think of them as furniture. But plants actually share a very large number of biological functions with the animal kingdom, including mechanisms for ...
Assesment [sic] of quality of care for type 2 diabetes
(2010)
The diabetes epidemic is associated with huge human and economic costs. Diabetes related morbidity and mortality may be prevented or delayed by improving diabetes care. We tried to study documentation of care provided to people with type 2 diabetes...
Solar roller

Evaluation of a tranfected HEK293 cell line overexpressing the gc-c receptor [abstract]
(2010-03)
Guanylate cyclase C (GC-C) is typically highly expressed in the brush border of the intestinal epithelium and in human colorectal adenocarcinomas, but is minimally expressed in extraintestinal tissues. Many studies have demonstrated that GC-C is a...
Solitary fibrous tumors of the nasal cavity [abstract]
(2010)
Solitary fibrous tumors are rare mesenchymal-derived neoplasms that are derived from serosal membranes, most commonly from pleural origin. However, a wide variety of extraplural locations have been described. Twenty-two ...
Predictors of tonsillectomy after previous adenoidectomy for upper airway obstruction [abstract]
(2010)
One of the main indications for adenotonsillectomy in children is upper airway obstruction, including obstructive sleep apnea. Previous research has suggested an increased risk for requiring subsequent tonsillectomy when ...
Hospital Medicine Virtual Journal Club
(University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2010-10)

Insulin-mediated increases in arterial baroreflex control of muscle sympathetic nerve activity following meal intake in humans [abstract]
(2010)
Animal studies indicate that insulin enhances arterial baroreflex (ABR) control of sympathetic nerve activity (SNA); however, the extent to which these findings can be extrapolated to humans is unknown. To begin to address ...
Two meals for ten bucks

Regulation of L-type calcium channel sparklet activity by PKC and C-src
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
and more frequent channel open events and account for approximately 50% of the steady state Ca2+ entry through Cav1.2 channels. Previous studies suggest that the alpha isoform of protein kinase C (PKCalpha]) underlies persistent Ca2+ sparklet activity...
Tao3 mediates a phenotypic switch between amoeba-adapted and mammalian-adapted forms of Cryptococcus neoformans
(2010-03)
guano and tree species, locations in which the organism is exposed to microbial predators. Previous research showed that co-incubation of C. neoformans with amoeba causes a switch from a yeast to a pseudohyphal form, enabling fungal survival in amoeba...
Development of human C-peptide LC-MS isotope-dilution assay : optimization of C-peptide isolation from biological fluids and with ion exchange chromatography
(2010)
Human C-peptide is an effective marker of insulin secretion in diabetes diagnostics, as it is produced in equimolar amounts with insulin. Little metabolism of C-peptide by the liver also enables its concentrations to be three to five times higher...
