Genetic variation in innate immunity may alter host-pathogen defence mechanisms and promote aberrant immune responses and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). To test this hypothesis, we investigated polymorphisms in innate immune genes in a pooled analysis of two population-based case-control studies of NHL from the San Francisco Bay Area (308 cases, 684 controls) and UK (596 cases, 758 controls). The ...

conclusions a long-term longitudinal study encompassing integrated research is needed to fully understand the traumatic experiences of caregivers. unless research on tbi or dai trauma is given its proper attention, the burden of trauma and injury on societies will continue to exacerbate globally. context as with care giving and rehabilitation in chronic illnesses, the concern with traumatic bra...

A cubic to tetragonal transformation leads to simultaneous nucleation and growth of several orientation variants. The size and morphology of a critical nucleus, comprising of one or more variants, are determined by the competition among bulk thermodynamic driving force, elastic strain energy, and interfacial energy. In this work, a diffuse-interface model is developed to predict both the critic...

In this paper we introduce two-wavelet constants for square integrable representations of homogeneous spaces. We establish the orthogonality relations fo...

UNLABELLED Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare, autoimmune disease characterized by cutaneous and visceral fibrosis. Interleukin- 6 (IL-6) is involved in the pathogenesis of many immune-mediated diseases. IL-6 plays an important role in the initiation and promotion of fibrosis. The polymorphism in the position -174 (G/C) of the promoter region of the IL-6 gene (IL-6pr) may alter the expression o...
