Quantitative Risk Assessment for Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Fresh-cut Lettuce
(2013)A farm-to-fork quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) model was developed to estimate the risk of illnesses associated with <italic>Escherichia coli </italic> O157:H7 in fresh-cut lettuce, and to evaluate the effects ... -
The Relationship between Dietary intake and Biomarkers of carotenoids and Physical Functioning among U.S. Older Adults
(2015)Decline of physical function [PF] in old age might be related to oxidative damage caused by free radicals, and antioxidants may play a role in reducing the risk of physical functional limitations [PFL]. Yet little is known ... -
The Relationship of Low Birth Weight and Current Obesity to Diabetes in African-American Women
(2007-04-26)Aims: (1) To test the fetal origins of chronic disease by examining birth weight, current obesity, and odds of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in African-American women 38-57 years. (2) To assess birth weight and obesity ... -
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LEADERSHIP AND SELF-ESTEEM CHARACTERISTICS OF PARAPROFESSIONALS AND NUTRITIONAL CHANGE IN A CLIENT SAMPLE
(1974)The study investigates the nature of the relationships between leadership and self-esteem attributes of a population of paraprofessionals and nutritional change based on records from a client sample. Sixty-five nutrition ... -
Relative impacts of determinants of childhood stunting in Malawi
(2019)Background: High rates of stunting have persisted in Malawi for several decades. There is a need to better understand trends and determinants of childhood stunting in the population to inform effective policies and ... -
Rheological and Textural Characteristics of Copolymerized Hydrocolloidal Solutions Containing Curdlan Gum
(2004-08-12)Curdlan, a microbial hydrocolloid, has the ability to form strong, irreversible gels when heated above 80ºC, which distinguishes curdlan from other hydrocolloids. To date, however, very limited information is available ... -
THE ROLE OF ATAXIA TELANGIECTASIA MUTATED AND THE CATALYTIC SUBUNIT OF DNA-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASE DURING ADIPOGENESIS
(2014)Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs), are DNA damage response (DDR) proteins that have well established roles in the repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). ... -
THE ROLE OF ESE-1 IN NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER (NSCLC) CELLS
(2020)Lung cancer is the most life-threatening cancer in the world. The identification of the effective molecular target is essential for lung cancer prevention and therapy. Epithelial Specific ETS-1 (ESE-1) is a transcription ... -
The Role of Organic Matrices (dried turkey manure) in the Contamination and Survival of Salmonella spp. on Baby Spinach Leaves
(2012)Microbiological safety of fresh produce has attracted attention due to constant produce outbreaks. Manure contaminated with enteric pathogens has been identified as a major pre-harvest contamination source. This study ... -
Role of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) Calcium-permeable Channels in Fibro-inflammatory Diseases
(2021)Tissue fibrosis and foreign body response (FBR) have emerged as two major public health problems globally over the last few decades. While fibrosis is an outcome of a dysregulated wound healing process, FBR, a chronic ... -
ROLE OF TRPV4 CALCIUM CHANNEL IN PORPHYROMONAS GINGIVALIS-INDUCED EXACERBATION OF OXIDIZED LDL-MEDIATED MACROPHAGE FOAM CELL FORMATION
(2018)Atherosclerosis, a chronic vascular disease accounts for major deaths worldwide. Associations between atherosclerosis and periodontitis have been documented by epidemiological studies. The process underlying P. gingivalis ... -
Room Calorimetry as a Method of Measuring Metabolic Flexibility
(2015)Metabolic flexibility is commonly measured as the change in respiratory quotient (RQ) from the fasted state to the insulin-stimulated state. This measurement is performed using a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp and hood ... -
Salmonella Newport: Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic Analysis
(2014)Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica causes over 99% of human salmonellosis. Salmonella Newport has ranked in the top three Salmonella serotypes associated with foodborne outbreaks in the United States. S. Newport is ... -
Seasonal Variation in Goat's Milk Composition and Its Effect on Cheese Quality
(2021)The composition of goat cheese was evaluated over a 12-month period to evaluate the influence of seasonal variation in goats’ milk composition on variation in yield and composition of cheeses. Milk analysis included total ... -
Selenium compounds activate early barriers of tumorigenesis
(2011)Selenium chemoprevention by apoptosis has been well studied, but it is not clear whether selenium can activate early barriers of tumorigenesis, namely senescence and DNA damage response. To test this hypothesis, we treated ... -
Selenium-induced senescence involves heterochromatin formation
(2013)Abstract We have recently shown that selenium compounds can induce a senescence response in a manner depending on ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM), DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), p53 and reactive oxygen species ... -
Short-term Home-Delivered Meal Intervention and the Health, Nutrition and Functional Status of Hospital-discharged Older Adults
(2008-11-21)Background: Following discharge from the hospital, homebound older adults remain at risk of poor dietary intake and adverse outcomes due to declines in health experienced during hospitalization. However, once home, timely ... -
