Prognostic significance of the peripheral blood absolute monocyte count in patients with locally advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma receiving systemic chemotherapy.
The prognostic significance of the circulating absolute monocyte count (AMC) in patients with locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is uncertain. This study was designed to assess the association of circulating AMC with survival outcomes in patients diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic HCC receiving ...

Weight and fat distribution in patients taking valproate: a valproate-discordant gender-matched twin and sibling pair study.
Chronic treatment with valproate (VPA) is commonly associated with weight gain, which potentially has important health implications, in particular increased central fat distribution. We utilized a VPA-discordant same-sex, twin and matched sibling pair study design to primarily examine for differences in fat distributio...

Differential Effects of Mental Health Problems Among Truant Youths.
Research indicates at-risk youth are more likely to experience emotional and psychological problems. Young people who are often truant from school represent a group of at-risk youth, but one for which mental health issues are understudied. This study examined heterogeneity of mental health problems among a sample of 30...

Expression of myotilin during chicken development.
Several missense mutations in the Z-band protein, myotilin, have been implicated in human muscle diseases such as myofibrillar myopathy, spheroid body myopathy, and distal myopathy. Recently, we have reported the cloning of chicken myotilin cDNA. In this study, we have investigated the expression of myotilin in cross-s...

A brain-computer interface based on self-regulation of gamma-oscillations in the superior parietal cortex.
Brain-computer interface (BCI) systems are often based on motor- and/or sensory processes that are known to be impaired in late stages of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We propose a novel BCI designed for patients in late stages of ALS that only requires high-level cognitive processes to transmit information from...

Closing-in is related to apathy in Alzheimer's disease patients.
Apathy and depression are behavioral manifestations that may occur often in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. AD patients may also show Closing-in (CI) phenomenon, in graphic copying tasks. Recent evidence would suggest that apathetic symptoms are related to frontal dysfunctions in AD patients, whereas the cognitive b...

Weighted Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve and Its Application to Gene Selection.
Partial area under the ROC curve (PAUC) has been proposed for gene selection in Pepe et al. (2003) and thereafter applied in real data analysis. It was noticed from empirical studies that this measure has several key weaknesses, such as an inability to reflect nonuniform weighting of different decision thresholds, resu...

"Reverse genomics" and human endogenous retroviruses.
Over millions of years, actively replicating retroviruses entered the human genome and through time became a stable and substantial part of the inherited genetic material. A remarkable 8% of the human genome is accounted for by endogenous retroviruses, whose biological importance has not yet been elucidated. In studyin...

Curing genetic disease with gene therapy.
Development of viral vectors that allow high efficiency gene transfer into mammalian cells in the early 1980s foresaw the treatment of severe monogenic diseases in humans. The application of gene transfer using viral vectors has been successful in diseases of the blood and immune systems, albeit with several curative s...

Impact of denervated myocardium on improving risk stratification for sudden cardiac death.
Between 184,000 and 462,000 Americans die suddenly each year. Fifty percent to 70% of these deaths are due to ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF). We tested whether hibernating myocardium or myocardial sympathetic denervation identifies patients at high-risk for developing VT/VF independently of ejection fract...

TGFBR1 and cancer susceptibility.
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is a potent inhibitor of cell growth. TGFBR1 6A is a polymorphism consisting of a 9-base pair in-frame deletion within exon 1 of the type I TGF-β receptor (TGFBR1), which results in a receptor with decreased TGF-β signaling capability. The discovery of an association between TGFB...

Perceptual and cognitive biases in individuals with body dysmorphic disorder symptoms.
Given the extreme focus on perceived physical defects in body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), we expected that perceptual and cognitive biases related to physical appearance would be associated with BDD symptomology.

The current paper extends Sen's view to include a condition, labeled "...
