Independent associations of TOMM40 and APOE variants with body mass index [PDF]

, 2019
The TOMM40-APOE variants are known for their strong, antagonistic associations with Alzheimer's disease and body weight. While a stronger role of the APOE than TOMM40 variants in Alzheimer's disease was suggested, comparative contribution of the TOMM40 ...

Longitudinal Study of Body Mass Index in Young Males and the Transition to Fatherhood. [PDF]

, 2016
Despite a growing understanding that the social determinants of health have an impact on body mass index (BMI), the role of fatherhood on young men's BMI is understudied. This longitudinal study examines BMI in young men over time as they transition from

Targeted overexpression of the parkin substrate Pael-R in the nigrostriatal system of adult rats to model Parkinson's disease

Neurobiology of Disease, 2009
Loss of function of parkin, an ubiquitin ligase, is responsible for autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism (AR-JP). Parkin-associated endothelin receptor-like receptor (Pael-R) was identified as an authentic substrate of parkin and is thought to ...

Singly-Fed Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antenna With a Wide Circular Polarization Bandwidth and Beamwidth for WiMAX/Satellite Applications

IEEE Access, 2019
A rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) has been excited using a unique conformal H-shaped metal strip. Using this excitation, the degenerate mode pair of first higher orderTEδ13x and TE1δ3y has been excited for bandwidth ...

More on logarithmic sums of convex bodies [PDF]

, 2014
We prove that the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality (log-BMI) for the Lebesque measure in dimension $n$ would imply the log-BMI and, therefore, the B-conjecture for any log-concave density in dimension $n$.

BMI and all cause mortality: systematic review and non-linear dose-response meta-analysis of 230 cohort studies with 3.74 million deaths among 30.3 million participants

British medical journal, 2016
Objective To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies of body mass index (BMI) and the risk of all cause mortality, and to clarify the shape and the nadir of the dose-response curve, and the influence on the results of confounding ...
