Gender-specific profiles of tobacco use among non-institutionalized people with serious mental illness
(2010-11-30)Abstract Background In many countries, smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death. In North America, reductions in population smoking levels are stabilising and, in recent years, those involved in tobacco control ... -
Gene expression networks controlling seedling development and vigour in oilseed rape.
(2015-07-05)The aim of the study was to confirm Quantitative trait loci (QTL) candidate genes with putative network regulatory roles during seedling emergence. A transcriptome-based systems analysis of seedling emergence was performed ... -
Generalized parton distributions through universal moment parameterization: non-zero skewness case
(SpringerOpen, 2023-05-18)Abstract We present the first global analysis of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) combing lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculations and experiment measurements including ... -
Genes and functions from breast cancer signatures
(2018-04-27)Abstract Background Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease and personalized medicine is the hope for the improvement of the clinical outcome. Multi-gene signatures for breast ... -
Genetic basis for prediction of non-responders to dietary plant sterol intervention (GenePredict-PS): a study protocol for a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized two-period crossover study
(2020-06-01)Abstract Background Functional food ingredients and natural health products have been demonstrated to reduce disease risk and thereby help to lower health care costs across populations at risk for chronic or degenerative ... -
Genetic characterization of a core collection of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) suitable for association mapping studies and evidence of divergent selection between fiber and linseed types
(2013-05-06)Abstract Background Flax is valued for its fiber, seed oil and nutraceuticals. Recently, the fiber industry has invested in the development of products made from linseed stems, making it a dual ... -
Genetic factors affecting Fusarium head blight resistance improvement from introgression of exotic Sumai 3 alleles (including Fhb1, Fhb2, and Fhb5) in hard red spring wheat
(2019-05-03)Abstract Background Fusarium head blight resistance genes, Fhb1 (for Type-II resistance), Fhb2 (Type-II), and Fhb5 (Type-I plus some Type-II), which originate from Sumai 3, ... -
Genius or folly? It depends on whether performance ratings survive the “psychological immune system”
(2016)At the heart of the debate between Colquitt’s and Adler’s (Adler et al., 2016) camps is a disagreement about the degree to which employees can be expected to respond favorably to challenging, negative, or critical feedback. ... -
Genome features of
(2014-05-22)Abstract A novel strain of Pseudomonas putida LS46 was isolated from wastewater on the basis of its ability to synthesize medium chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHAs). P.putida LS46 was ... -
Genome wide SNP discovery in flax through next generation sequencing of reduced representation libraries
(2012-12-06)Abstract Background Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is a significant fibre and oilseed crop. Current flax molecular markers, including isozymes, RAPDs, AFLPs and SSRs are of limited use in the ... -
Genome-wide gene expression profiling of stress response in a spinal cord clip compression injury model
(2013-08-28)Abstract Background The aneurysm clip impact-compression model of spinal cord injury (SCI) is a standard injury model in animals that closely mimics the primary mechanism of most human injuries: ... -
Genotyping an immunodeficiency causing c.1624–11G>A ZAP70 mutation in Canadian Mennonites
(2016-07-22)Abstract Background Primary immunodeficiency is a life-threatening genetic disease that appeared to have an increased incidence in Manitoba Mennonites. Determining the genetic ... -
Geo-epidemiology of autoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis: comparison between four ethnically diverse populations
(BioMed Central (BMC), 2023-03-08)Abstract Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) occurs across the globe in different ethnic populations. Most RA patients harbor anti-modified protein antibodies (AMPA); ... -
Geographic and facility-level variation in the use of peritoneal dialysis in Canada: a cohort study
(CMA, 2014)Background Peritoneal dialysis is associated with similar survival and similar improvement in quality of life and is less costly compared with in-centre hemodialysis. We examined facility and geographic variation in the ... -
Geographical variation analysis of all-cause hospital readmission cases in Winnipeg, Canada
(2015-04-01)Abstract Background Hospital readmission is costly and potentially avoidable. The concept of virtual wards as a new model of care is intended to reduce hospital readmissions ... -
Germline mosaicism in X-linked periventricular nodular heterotopia
(2014-06-07)Abstract Background X-linked periventricular nodular heterotopia is a disorder of neuronal migration resulting from mutations in the filamin A gene. This is an X-linked dominant condition ... -
Ghrelin: Central Nervous System Sites of Action in Regulation of Energy Balance
(2010-2-15)Ghrelin, a peptide hormone secreted by the stomach, has been shown to regulate energy homeostasis by modulating electrical activity of neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). Like many circulating satiety signals, ... -
Glia and TRPM2 Channels in Plasticity of Central Nervous System and Alzheimer’s Diseases
(2016-1-28)Synaptic plasticity refers to the ability of neurons to strengthen or weaken synaptic efficacy in response to activity and is the basis for learning and memory. Glial cells communicate with neurons and in this way contribute ... -
Glia maturation factor gamma regulates the migration and adherence of human T lymphocytes
(2012-04-18)AbstractBackgroundLymphocyte migration and chemotaxis are essential for effective immune surveillance. A critical aspect of migration is cell polarization and the extension of pseudopodia in the direction of movement. ...
