O'Rourke, Dennis H. | Hrdlič̌ka's Aleutian population-replacement hypothesis: a radiometric evaluation | In a 1945 monograph, Hrdlička argued that, at 1,000 BP, Paleo-Aleut people on Umnak Island were replaced by Neo-Aleut groups moving west along the island chain. His argument was based on cranial measurements of skeletal remains from Chaluka Midden and mummified remains from Kagamil and Ship Rock b... | Population replacement; Paleo-Aleuts; Neo-Aleuts | 2006 |

Mitchell, Joyce A. | Fuzzy measures on the Gene Ontology for gene product similarity | One of the most important objects in bioinformatics is a gene product (protein or RNA). For many gene products, functional information is summarized in a set of Gene Ontology (GO) annotations.

Askew, Eldon W | Effect of leucine supplementation on fat free mass with prolonged hypoxic exposure during a 13-day trek to Everest Base Camp: A double-blind randomized study | Loss of body weight and fat free mass (FFM) are commonly noted with prolonged exposure to hypobaric hypoxia. Recent evidence suggests protein supplementation, specifically leucine, may potentially attenuate loss of FFM in subcaloric conditions during normoxia. The purpose of this study was to determ... | 2014-01-01 | |

Kestle, John R. W. | Reduction of transfusion rates in the surgical correction of sagittal synostosis | Object. As public concern about the risks of blood transfusions increased in the mid-1990s, avoidance of transfusions became a goal of surgery for sagittal synostosis. This study was performed to confirm a hypothesized reduction in transfusion rates in recent years and to identify factors associated... | Sagittal synostosis; Sagittal craniosynostosis; Craniectomy; Allogenic blood transfusion; Reduction | 2002 |

Dailey, Andrew T. | Guideline update for the performance of fusion procedures for degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. Part 16: Bone graft extenders and substitutes as an adjunct for lumbar fusion | In an attempt to enhance the potential to achieve a solid arthrodesis and avoid the morbidity of harvesting autologous iliac crest bone (AICB) for a lumbar fusion, numerous alternatives have been investigated. The use of these fusion adjuncts has become routine despite a lack of convincing evidence ... | 2014-01-01 | |

Varner, Michael W. | Elevations of amniotic fluid macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha concentrations in women during term and preterm labor. | OBJECTIVE: To determine whether elevated concentrations of macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha) in amniotic fluid (AF) are related to term and preterm labor. METHODS: Amniotic fluid was obtained from women from five different clinical situations: 1) term cesarean delivery, no labor ... | Amniotic Fluid; Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1; Obstetric Labor, Premature | 1996-01 |

Ehleringer, James R.; Cerling, Thure E.; Dearing, Maria-Denise | Experimental study of carbon-isotope fractionation between diet, hair, and feces of mammalian herbivores | The carbon-isotope composition of hair and feces offers a glimpse into the diets of mammalian herbivores. It is particularly useful for determining the relative consumption of browse and graze in tropical environments, as these foods have strongly divergent carbon-isotope compositions.

Joseph | Mechanical force mobilizes zyxin from focal adhesions to actin filaments and regulates cytoskeletal reinforcement | Organs and tissues adapt to acute or chronic mechanical stress by remodeling their actin cytoskeletons. Cells that are stimulated by cyclic stretch or shear stress in vitro undergo bimodal cytoskeletal responses that include rapid reinforcement and gradual reorientation of actin stress fibers; howev... | Zyxin; Actin | 2005 |

Beckerle, Mary C. | Opposing roles of zyxin/LPP ACTA repeats and the LIM domain region in cell-cell adhesion | Cadherins mediate cell-cell adhesion by linking cell junctions to actin networks. Although several actin regulatory systems have been implicated in cell-cell adhesion, it remains unclear how such systems drive cadherin-actin network formation and how they are regulated to coincide with initiation o... | Zyxin; Actin; Cadherin; LIM domains; VASP | 2006 |
