Abstract Introduction Light influences sleep via the circadian system, but few studies have examined objective light exposure and outcomes in general population. We investigated relationship between daily average time above 1,000 lux white (TALT1000), a proxy for outdoor exposure, actigraphy measures of timing regularity Multi-Ethnic Study Atherosclerosis (MESA). Methods data collected over 5+ ...

In markets with adverse selection, when average quality is low and frictions are small decentralized trade produces a greater surplus than predicted by the competitive model: under decentralized trade some high-quality units of the good trade whereas, due to the “lemons problem,” only low-quality units trade in the competitive equilibrium. This suggests a reason why these markets are often dece...

There are many disorders that may involve the left ventricular (LV) apex; however, they are sometimes difficult to differentiate. In this setting cardiac imaging methods can provide the clue to obtaining the diagnosis. The purpose of this review is to illustrate the spectrum of diseases that most frequently affect the apex of the LV including Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy, LV aneurysms and pseudoan...

Previous studies addressing functional aspects of nuclear factor KB (NF-KB) activation in normal and transformed keratinocytes revealed complex and seemingly contradictory roles of this transcription factor in this cell type. In normal skin, NF-KB signaling seems to inhibit squamous cell carcinoma development whereas, in squamous cell carcinoma themselves, deregulated NF-KB expression and/or si...

The use of small-diameter timber in construction has been investigated. The aim of the work is to increase the use of the wood harvested in forest thinning in construction applications. The work has covered a wide range of aspects, from availability of the material to design of the structures. This publication summarizes the results in following areas: availability, dimensions and quality of co...
