Polychlorinated biphenyls in residential soils and their health risk and hazard in an industrial city in India

Journal of Public Health Research, 2014
Background. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have never been produced in India, but were used in industrial applications. PCBs have been detected in environmental samples since 1966, and their sources in soils come from depositions of industrial ...

Comparing self‐reported race and genetic ancestry for identifying potential differentially methylated sites in endometrial cancer: insights from African ancestry proportions using machine learning models

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Integrating ancestry, differential methylation analysis, and machine learning, we identified robust epigenetic signature genes (ESGs) and Core‐ESGs in Black and White women with endometrial cancer. Core‐ESGs (namely APOBEC1 and PLEKHG5) methylation levels were significantly associated with survival, with tumors from high African ancestry (THA) showing ...

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis as a Multistep Process in the United States: A Population‐Based Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal, progressive neurodegenerative disease that typically results in death within 3–5 years from symptom onset. However, little is known about the environmental exposures, clinical aspects, or social determinants of health factors that may be associated with the disease.

The Diagnostic Value of Visual Evoked Potentials in Chronic Disorders of Consciousness

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In chronic disorders of consciousness (DOCs), the distinction between vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) is as crucial as it is challenging. Evoked potentials (EPs) and event‐related potentials (ERPs) are helpful, but some limitations prevent their consistent use in the ...
