Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 1996 Acute hypotension is a common complication of haemodialysis, occurring in 20-33% of patients in different series. Although the immediate cause is increasing intravascular hypovolaemia related to the dialysis procedure, no constant relationship exists between volume status or degree of volume loss and development of hypotension, emphasizing the ...

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2014 Why only 20% of smokers develop clinically relevant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was a puzzle for many years. Now, epidemiologic studies point clearly toward a large heritable component. The combination of genome-wide association studies and candidate gene analysis is helping to identify those genetic variants responsible for an ...

Systematic Approximations to Susceptible-Infectious-Susceptible Dynamics on Networks [PDF]
PLOS Computational Biology, 2016 Network-based infectious disease models have been highly effective in elucidating the role of contact structure in the spread of infection. As such, pair- and neighbourhood-based approximation models have played a key role in linking findings from network simulations to standard (random-mixing) results.

Introduction to Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping and Susceptibility Weighted Imaging [PDF]
The British Journal of Radiology, 2019 Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) and Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) are MRI techniques that measure and display differences in the magnetization that is induced in tissues, i.e. their magnetic susceptibility, when placed in the strong external magnetic field of an MRI system. SWI produces images in which the contrast is heavily weighted

Minigene Splicing Assays Identify 12 Spliceogenic Variants of BRCA2 Exons 14 and 15
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 A relevant fraction of BRCA2 variants is associated with splicing alterations and with an increased risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). In this work, we have carried out a thorough study of variants from BRCA2 exons 14 and 15 reported at

Personal susceptibility to pitch [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1970 Hodgson, G. A., and Whiteley, H. J. (1970).Brit. J. industr. Med.,27, 160-166. Personal susceptibility to pitch. During the years 1957 to 1963, 59 cases of hyperplastic squamous lesions were referred to us from a local patent fuel works where ovoids were made by fusing coal dust and pitch together by steam heat.

Identification of Eight Spliceogenic Variants in BRCA2 Exon 16 by Minigene Assays
Frontiers in Genetics, 2018 Genetic testing of BRCA1 and BRCA2 identifies a large number of variants of uncertain clinical significance whose functional and clinical interpretations pose a challenge for genetic counseling.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 A large fraction of DNA variants impairs pre-mRNA splicing in human hereditary disorders. Crigler-Najjar syndrome (CNS) is characterized by a severe unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia caused by variants in the UGT1A1 gene.
