A cross-sectional study was performed to determine the prevalence of giardiasis in hilltribe children of 2 different remote districts (Mae-chaem and Hod), Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand from November 2006-April 2007. The overall prevalence of giardiasis was 5.2%. Genetic characterization of Giardia duodenalis isolated from these children was performed using PCR methods specific for small subunit...

Objectives: To determine the cancer incidence in Gipuzkoa (Spain) from 1998 to 2002 and describe time trends since 1986. Methods: The annual incidence of cancer in Gipuzkoa from 1998 to 2002 was estimated as a rate per 100,000 inhabitants. Incidence trends for the period 1986-2002 were studied for all cancers and for the main cancer sites using Poisson regression and Joinpoint regression for pr...

Studies on therapeutic drug disposition in humans have shown significant alterations as the result of pregnancy. However, it is not known whether pesticide metabolic capacity changes throughout pregnancy, which could affect exposure of the developing brain. We sought to determine the effect of pregnancy on the expression of hepatic enzymes involved in the metabolism of pesticides. Livers were c...

Objective: To evaluate the shortand long-term outcomes among very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants after histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA). Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 5849 single infants (birth weight51500 g) born at a gestational age between 22+ 0 and 33+ 6 weeks. Clinical data were obtained from the Neonatal Research Network Japan between 2003 and 2007. Multivari...

Abstract. This paper describes a new global dataset of cloud properties observed by MODIS relying on the current (collection 6.1) processing data and produced to facilitate comparison with results from observational proxy used in climate models. The merges observations two instruments into single netCDF file. Statistics (mean, standard deviation, number observations) are accumulated over daily ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate cell proliferation, apoptosis and carcinogenesis by targeting related mRNAs in different types of cancer. miR-331-3p has been found to regulate the development and progression of various types of cancer cells. However, little research has been conducted on the role of miR-331-3p in colorectal cancer (CRC). The present study aimed to explore the function of miR-331-3p...
