Diet and sedentary behaviour in relation to mortality in US adults with a cardiovascular condition: results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey linked to the US mortality registry
(Cambridge Univ Pess, 2020)
CVD is the most common chronic condition and the highest cause of mortality in the USA. The aim of the present work was to investigate diet and sedentary behaviour in relation to mortality in US CVD survivors. The National ...
Determinants of plasma fibrin clot lysis measured using three different assays in healthy subject
(Elsevier, 2021)
Introduction
Several methods for measuring fibrinolytic capacity in plasma have been developed yielding frequently inconsistent results. We investigated which factors determine fibrinolytic capacity in three plasma-based ...
Methylation vs. protein inflammatory biomarkers and their associations with cardiovascular function
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
DNA methylation data can be used to estimate proportions of leukocyte subsets retrospectively, when directly measured cell counts are unavailable. The methylation-derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ...
The association of PAI-1 with 24 h blood pressure in young healthy adults is influenced by smoking and alcohol use: the African-PREDICT study
(Elsevier, 2020)
Background and aims
The association between plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and blood pressure is well established, but it is debatable whether raised PAI-1 levels precede or result from raised blood pressure. ...
Leveraging the urban-rural divide for epigenetic research
(Future Medicine, 2020)
Urbanization coincides with a complex change in environmental exposure and a rapid increase in noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Epigenetics, including DNA methylation (DNAm), is thought to mediate part
of the association ...
Interpretation and validation of maximum absorbance data obtained from turbidimetry analysis of plasma clots
(Thieme, 2020)
Turbidimetry is used to characterize fibrin clot properties. In purified systems, maximum absorbance (MA) directly relates to fibrin fiber cross-sectional area. However, in plasma samples there are discrepancies in the ...
Replication and expansion of epigenomewide association literature in a black South African population
(BMC, 2020)
DNA methylation is associated with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and related traits. Methylation data on continental African ancestries are currently scarce, even though there are known genetic and epigenetic differences ...
Trends in alcohol consumption in relation to cause-specific and all-cause mortality in the United States: a report from the NHANES linked to the US mortality registry
(Oxford Univ Press, 2020)
Background
Excessive alcohol use is the third leading cause of mortality in the United States, where alcohol use consistently increased over the last decades. This trend is currently maintained, despite regulatory policies ...
Automated fiber diameter and porosity measurement of fibrin clots in SEM images
(Biophysical Society, 2020)
SEM images of fibrin meshes can provide profound insights into the microstructure of blood clots. This is significant because characteristics of clot microstructure, such as fiber diameter and clot porosity, may be altered ...
Diet and sedentary behaviour in relation to cancer survival. A report from the national health and nutrition examination survey linked to the U.S. mortality registry
(Elsevier, 2020)
Background & aims
Cancer is the second most common chronic disease and cause of death in the United States. Our aim was to evaluate the associations of sedentary behavior and nutrient intakes with total and cancer-specific ...
