As a liver-specific transporter, a reduction in the expression of SLCO1B3 may affect liver metabolism, particularly that of bile acids. We also detected higher ectopic expression of SLCO1B3 in the lungs of birds heterozygous for the EAV-HP insertion than in homozygous genotypes. In conclusion, we confirmed that the EAV-HP insertion modifies…[Read more]

9 mmHg; 95% confidence interval (CI) -8.1 to 0.3] and diastolic pressure (-3.5 mmHg [95% [CI] -6.4-0.5]), with a higher magnitude during the night (-5.5 and -4.9 mmHg, respectively). The CPAP adherent group needed a mean of 1.1 less antihypertensive drugs (particularly spironolactone). Finally, there was a positive correlation between the drop in…[Read more]

Faculty and trainee well-being at academic medical centers is a nationwide concern. In response, the University of Utah Health created a system-wide provider wellness program that used individual faculty champions who were empowered to 1) examine the unique needs of their department or division using a lens of quality improvement, 2) design…[Read more]

Ongoing technologic and therapeutic advancements in medicine are now testing the limits of conventional anatomic imaging techniques. The ability to image physiology, rather than simply anatomy, is critical in the management of multiple disease processes, especially in oncology. Nuclear medicine has assumed a leading role in detecting, diagnosing,…[Read more]

The strain ratio values correlated inversely with the FEV

(%) and FVC (%) values. The diaphragm thickness at end-inspirium and thickening ratio values correlated inversely with the Cobb values and number of vertebra fractures. A positive correlation was determined between the strain ratio values and the Cobb values and number of vertebra…[Read more]
