Epigenetic Alteration of the Wnt Inhibitory Factor-1 Promoter Occurs Early in the Carcinogenesis of Barrett’s Esophagus
We hypothesized that downregulation of the Wnt inhibitory factor-1 (WIF-1) might be involved in the neoplastic progression of Barrett's esophagus (BE).

Fe-Radiation-Induced Alterations in Circulating Leukocyte Populations in the Apoe Mouse Atherosclerosis Model Are Temporary
We irradiated ApoE mice with 56Fe focused to the aorta and carotids to determine how irradiation of the thymus with 56Fe affects circulating lymphocyte number, and ultimately to determine the…

Effect of Resveratrol on 17 Beta-Estradiol Sulfation By Human Hepatic and Jejunal S9 and Recombinant Sulfotransferase 1E1
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the sulfation of resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene) and its potential to exhibit drug-drug interactions via sulfation. The possible interaction of resveratrol with 17β-estradiol…

Frontal Callosal Integrity Predicts Cognitive Interference Compromise in Hiv-Infected Individuals Comorbid for Alcoholism
Diffusion tensor imaging was used to study the combined effects of HIV-infection and alcoholism (ALC) on corpus callosum (CC) integrity in relation to processes of attentional allocation and conflict resolution…

Volume Reconstruction By Inverse Interpolation: Application to Interleaved MR Motion Correction
We introduce in this work a novel algorithm for volume reconstruction from data acquired on an irregular grid, e.g., from multiple co-registered images.
