Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The objective of the study was to determine the genetic basis of Major Depressive Disorder, and the capacity to respond to antidepressant treatment. An association study of 21 candidate polymorphisms relevant to monoamine function and the mechanism of antidepressant response was conducted in 3 phenotypically distinct samples: a group with chronic or recurrent depression unable to respond to antidepressants (non-responders) (n = 58), a group capable of symptomatic improvement with or without treatment (responders) (n = 39), and volunteer controls (n = 85).

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease that affects humans and animals in more than 98 countries across the globe placing more than 1 billion people at risk for the disease and killing more than 20,000 people per year. In the United States the disease is enzootic within the hunting dog population and vertical transmission has been identified as the primary route of transmission in this population. In Brazil the disease is endemic in the human population and enzootic in the dog population with vector and vertical transmission having been reported.

Abstract:

This paper studies factors that influence the stock return on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) market. To achieve this goal, a stock-fixed effects model is estimated using a panel data sample comprising 100 companies listed on the SSE market during the 72-month period from January 2002 to December 2007. I find that number of trades and book-to-market value in both up and down markets have a significant and positive impact on stock returns during the studied period, whereas stock returns were negatively affected by systematic risk in both up and down markets although less so in up markets.

Expected dramatic increase in the number of people with cognitive impairment will put high demands on health and social care. Population aging and the increase of elderly persons aged 65+ evoked a need to address this issue, since age is the major risk factor for dementia. Conflicting conclusions of the European and international studies confirm the difficulty of quantifying the disease. Different definitions and measurement methods lead to different results.

Abstract:

Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of almost all eukaryotic cells. Their main functions include energy metabolism, free radical production, calcium homeostasis and apoptosis. Located closely to the source of reactive oxidative stress (ROS) production, Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is extremely susceptible to oxidative damage due to its absence of protective histones, the lack of introns and a scarcity of the efficient DNA repair mechanisms. Associations between leukocyte mtDNA copy number (mtCN) and various oxidative stress related health outcomes have been demonstr

Abstract:

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles whose principal role is the generation of cellular energy (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). 13 OXPHOS subunits are encoded by the mitochondrion’s polyploid circular genome (mtDNA), and the nuclear genome (nDNA) encodes the remaining subunits as well as proteins required for mtDNA maintenance. In addition to mitochondrial number, mtDNA copy number (mtDNA CN) varies between cell and tissue type, depending on metabolic demand and baseline mtDNA quality, and ranges from hundreds to thousands of copies per cell. mtDNA CN is often linked to mitocho

Abstract:

Abstract Sciatica is a common musculoskeletal disorder, especially among the working-age population. It causes huge costs to society through work absenteeism and hospital treatments. The common cause of sciatica is the herniated lumbar disc compressing the nerve root. The neurological deficit resulting from this compression can be either sensory or motor-related. Earlier studies have shown both genetic and environmental factors to exist in the aetiology of sciatica. The aim of this study was to investigate how individual, physical and work-related risk factors associate with sciatica, and to d

Abstract:

Background: Many risk factors for venous thromboembolism have been identified, but two particular exposures - the use of combined oral contraceptives and long-distance air travel - have generated considerable concern in recent years. In contrast, a possible link between venous thromboembolism and a third exposure - the use of psychotropic drugs - was first raised in the 1950s, but has received surprisingly little attention. Information about all three exposures and the risk of fatal events is limited. These risks were examined in three inter-related national population-based studies. Methods

Abstract:

Background: The highly driven and often excessive exercise seen in eating disorder patients can be defined as a compulsive behaviour, and is often performed for weight control reasons, as well as for mood regulatory purposes. Compulsive exercisers often exercise in a rigid and rule-driven manner and predominantly report no enjoyment from the activity. Importantly, compulsive exercise has negative clinical implications, such as prolonging eating disorder treatment and representing a key factor in eating disorder relapse. However, despite these negative clinical implications and the large percen

Dementia is a devastating disorder that commonly affects people over the age of 65. Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia are the most common forms of dementias. A number of studies have implicated cardiovascular risks as important factors in the development of dementia. These risks include high-risk behaviors such as smoking and risks related at least partially to health behaviors such as diet and exercise. This study examines a group of cardiovascular risk factors, as defined by the Framingham study, to ascertain if they are predictors of dementia. A retrospective chart review of 481cons

This dissertation provides evidence on the risk factors that are priced in bank equities. Alternative empirical models with precedent in the nonfinancial asset pricing literature are tested, including the single-factor Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), three-factor Fama-French model, and Intertemporal Capital Asset Pricing Model (ICAPM). The empirical results indicate that an unconditional two-factor Intertemporal Capital Asset Pricing Model (ICAPM) model, that includes the stock market excess return and shocks to the slope of the yield curve, is useful in explaining the cross-section of ban

Data from the National Enhanced Cancer Surveillance System were used to explore the relationship of diet and testicular cancer risk. There were 601 cases of testicular cancer and 744 controls available for study. We systematically examined 17 food groups, 15 nutrients, and 7 individual foods ba

Little is known about how/if these factors interact. Methods Study I: The risk of MS by month of birth was investigated using MS cases from the Swedish MS registry and using general populati
