چکیده
Rural Connections Sept. 2011 31 Oregon State University barley breeder, Dr. Pat Hayes, stands in a field of barley with farmer Wilbur Bishop of Coupeville, Washington. The barley growing in the field is from a variety called ‘Alba,’ developed by Hayes to be well adapted to conditions in the Coastal Pacific Northwest.

A comparison of sensitivity-specificity imputation, direct imputation and fully Bayesian analysis to adjust for exposure misclassification when validation data are unavailable.
Purpose Measurement error is an important source of bias in epidemiological studies. We illustrate three approaches to sensitivity analysis for the effect of measurement error: imputation of the 'true' exposure based on specifying the sensitivity and specificity of the measured exposure (SS); direct imputation (DI) using a regression model for the predictive values; and adjustment based on a fu...
متن کاملTracking the Spatial and Functional Gradient of Monocyte-To-Macrophage Differentiation in Inflamed Lung
Myeloid-derived cells such as monocytes, dendritic cells (DCs), and macrophages are at the heart of the immune effector function in an inflammatory response. But because of the lack of an efficient imaging system to trace these cells live during their migration and maturation in their native environment at sub-cellular resolution, our knowledge is limited to data available from specific time-po...
متن کاملSGX393 inhibits the CML mutant Bcr-AblT315I and preempts in vitro resistance when combined with nilotinib or dasatinib.
Imatinib inhibits Bcr-Abl, the oncogenic tyrosine kinase that causes chronic myeloid leukemia. The second-line inhibitors nilotinib and dasatinib are effective in patients with imatinib resistance resulting from Bcr-Abl kinase domain mutations. Bcr-Abl(T315I), however, is resistant to all Abl kinase inhibitors in clinical use and is emerging as the most frequent cause of salvage therapy failure...
متن کاملAddressing health disparities through dental-medical collaborations, part II. Cross-cutting themes in the care of special populations.
This article introduces the second group in a series of articles in this journal on dental-medical collaborations to reduce oral health disparities. This group targets the needs of the elderly and individuals with mental retardation, developmental disabilities, and other special health problems. Five themes are common to these populations: the importance of oral-systemic interactions and need f...
متن کاملA global benchmark study using affinity-based biosensors.
To explore the variability in biosensor studies, 150 participants from 20 countries were given the same protein samples and asked to determine kinetic rate constants for the interaction. We chose a protein system that was amenable to analysis using different biosensor platforms as well as by users of different expertise levels. The two proteins (a 50-kDa Fab and a 60-kDa glutathione S-transfera...
