Quality of life (QOL) is an important outcome measure in caring for terminally ill patients.
The Missoula–VITAS ® Quality of Life index (MVQOLI) has been developed to provide a …

The IDDM2 locus encoding susceptibility to type 1 diabetes was mapped previously to a 4.1–kb
region spanning the insulin gene and a minisatellite or variable number of tandem …

Genetic analysis of a mouse model of major histocompatability complex (MHC)-associated
autoimmune type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) has shown that the disease …

Osteoarthritis affects millions of people worldwide but current treatments using analgesics
or anti-inflammatory drugs only alleviate symptoms of this disease. Here, we present an …

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear hormone receptors that act
as ligand-activated transcription factors. PPAR agonists have well-documented anti-…

The paper describes an analytical method whereby the chemical composition of the
polysaccharide fraction of woody materials, including the uronic acids and carbohydrate acid …

Color and microbiology of steaks and ground beef stored in 0.4% CO, 30% CO2, and 69.6%
N2 (but removed from the modified atmosphere before display) were compared with product …

Objective: There is increasing evidence that gene copy-number variation influences
phenotypic variation. Chemokine ligand 3-like 1 (CCL3L1) is encoded by a variable copy-number …

Objectives Twenty-eight genetic loci are associated with serum urate levels in Europeans.
Evidence for association with gout at most loci is absent, equivocal or not replicated. Our aim …
