Previously characterized admission serum samples (total n = 100) were used that were collected from febrile illness patients enrolled in ethically and fully Institutional Review Board-approved prospective "causes-of-fever" studies performed in Udon Thani in northeastern Thailand (2000 and 2001; n = 85) and Kathmandu, Nepal (2008 to 2011; n = 15) (8, 9).
The use of small model organisms with short generation times such as C. elegans, S. cerevisiae and D. melanogaster, has facilitated testing of hypotheses to illuminate a prospective cellular cause of protein-misfolding diseases like HD, PD, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and AD or neuroprotective mechanisms against neurodegeneration [ 3, 4].
Cause of death was determined by transplant committee multidisciplinary consensus in a prospective fashion when cause of death was ascertainable.
This analysis was designed to evaluate whether preclinical vascular changes are detectable in middle-aged women with the MS. Five thousand sixty-two women participated in a prospective study of the causes of cardiovascular disease in women (the "Progetto Atena" study).
We estimated the diagnostic accuracy of two anti-JEV immunoglobulin M (IgM) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) (Panbio and XCyton JEVCheX) compared with a reference standard (AFRIMS JEV MAC ELISA) in a prospective study of the causes of central nervous system infections in Laos.
A prospective study of the causes and antimicrobial treatment outcome of CAP was conducted in consecutively enrolled adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) between 1 December 2003 and 30 November 2004 at 12 centers in 7 Chinese cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenyang, Xi'an, Chengdu, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou).
The novel longevity locus we identified was tested for association with prospective (cause-specific) mortality in a meta-analysis of 11 European cohorts and examined for association with various metabolic traits that may explain the mechanism by which the locus contributes to survival to high ages.
Krishnan et al. [ 17] suggested that DP-CECT can effectively detect arterial, venous, and inner ear causes of PT in a prospective study of 16 PT patients.
The aim of this study was therefore to investigate whether MR-proANP and MR-proADM plasma concentrations at the start of dialysis treatment are associated with risk of cardiovascular or all-cause mortality in a prospective cohort study of incident dialysis patients.
The Daily News editorial page warns that minor tinkering will cause crime to rise, and points a prospective finger of blame at the New York Civil Liberties Union.
