The reliability of a food frequency questionnaire for use among adolescents

Accurate measurement of dietary intake is essential for understanding the long-term effects of adolescent diet on chronic disease risk.

Effects of simulated tidal and deep breathing on immature airway contraction to acetylcholine and nerve stimulation

In adults, respiratory movements, such as tidal and deep breaths, reduce airway smooth muscle force and cause bronchodilation.

Tumor eradication after cyclophosphamide depends on concurrent depletion of regulatory T cells

Tumor cell death potentially engages with the immune system. However, the efficacy of anti-tumor chemotherapy may be limited by tumor-driven...

Hemispheric division of function is the result of independent probabilistic biases

Causal theories propose that functional asymmetry is an obligatory pattern of organisation, while statistical theories maintain this is a reflection...

Adult psychosocial outcomes of children with specific language impairment, pragmatic language impairment and autism

Evidence that some children also develop autistic symptomatology over time has raised suggestions that developmental language disorder...

The common BDNF polymorphism may be a modifier of disease severity in Rett syndrome

Rett syndrome (RTT) is caused by mutations in the transcriptional repressor methyl CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2).

Impact of scoliosis surgery on activities of daily living in females with Rett syndrome

Scoliosis is a common orthopaedic complication of Rett syndrome, and surgery is commonly used to reduce asymmetry in cases with severe scoliosis.

Glucocorticoid resistance in T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is associated with a proliferative metabolism

We examined the baseline profile of a panel of T-ALL cell lines to determine factors that contribute to GC resistance without prior drug selection.

Locally administered TLR7 agonists drive systemic antitumor immune responses that are enhanced by anti-CD40 immunotherapy

Topical application of tumors with the TLR7 agonist imiquimod is an effective adjunct treatment for a range of primary dermatological cancers.

Potent bronchodilation and reduced stiffness by relaxant stimuli under dynamic conditions

Airway relaxation in response to isoprenaline, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and electrical field stimulation (EFS) was compared under static and dynamic...
