A cohort of 1,678 Southern California children, enrolled as fourth graders in 1996, was followed for 4 years to determine whether the growth in lung function of the children was associated with their exposure to ambient air pollutants. These subjects comprised the second cohort of fourth grade children participating in the Children's Health Study. Significant deficits in lung function growth ra...

OBJECTIVES To assess notification trends for chlamydia and gonorrhoea infections in Indigenous Australians compared with non-Indigenous Australians in 2000-2009. DESIGN AND SETTING We assessed trends in national notification rates using univariate Poisson regression and summary rate ratios. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Crude notification rates and summary rate ratios, by Indigenous status, sex, ag...

While large-scale literature reviews are nowadays becoming a staple element of modern research practice, there are many challenges in taking on such an endeavour, yet little evidence of previous studies addressing these challenges exists. This paper introduces a practical and efficient review framework for extremely large corpora of literature, refined by five parallel implementations within a ...

In the past decade, we have seen the development of a new set of tests for structural change of unknown timing in regression models, most notably the SupF statistic of Andrews (1993, Econometrica 61, 825}856), the ExpF and AveF statistics of AndrewsPloberger (1994, Econometrica 62, 1383}1414), and the ̧ statistic of Nyblom (1989, Journal of American Statistical Association 84, 223}230). The dis...

ODESSEY, RICHARD, AND ALFRED L. GOLDBERG. Oxidation of leucine by rat skeletal muscle. Am. J. Physiol. 223(6) : 1376-1383. 1972.-In the isolated rat diaphragm, 14C02 production from L-leucine-1 -14C occurred at 86 y0 of the rate of its incorporation into protein. Experiments with L-leucine-U-14C indicate complete oxidation of leucine under these conditions. 14C02 production from leucine-1-14C w...

AIM Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 3 (SOCS3) gene belongs to SOCS family as one of the negative regulators of cytokine signaling and IFN response that function via the JAK-STAT pathway in antiviral response. SOCS3 expression and genetic polymorphism influences the pathogenesis and outcome of antiviral treatment in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients. This study was designed for analysis...

BACKGROUND Despite strong evidence of the effectiveness of influenza vaccination, immunization rates have reached a plateau that is below the 2010 national goals. Our objective was to identify facilitators of, and barriers to, vaccination in diverse groups of older patients. METHODS A survey was conducted in 2000 by computer-assisted telephone interviewing of patients from inner-city health c...
