Abstract
Metabolic syndrome was present in 19% of cases and 8% of controls (P = 0.008). In the unadjusted analysis, metabolic syndrome was statistically associated with higher VTE risk [odds ratio (OR) = 2.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3-5.6]. However, hypertriglyceridemia (OR = 2.0, 95% CI 1...

Abstract
We investigated whether variants in major candidate genes for food intake and body weight regulation contribute to obesity-related traits under a multilocus perspective. We studied 375 Brazilian subjects from partially isolated African-derived populations (quilombos). Seven variants displaying confl...

Abstract
Introduction. Loss of penile length after penile prosthesis implantation is one of the most common complaints. There is no recognized reliable technique to gain length once the device is placed. Aims. This noncontrolled pilot study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safe...

Abstract
Body size and thermal tolerance clines in Drosophila melanogaster occur along the east coast of Australia. However the extent to which temperature affects the genetic architecture underlying the observed clinal divergence remains unknown. Clinal variation in these traits is associated with cosmopolit...

Abstract
We observed that associations between APOE rs439401 and metabolic traits were moderated by chronic stress. Thus, in a population of stressed and non-stressed Danish men, we examined whether associations between APOE rs439401 and a panel of metabolic quantitative traits, all metabolic traits which ma...

Abstract
We tested predictions of the two hypotheses underlying intersexual trophic niche partitioning in a natural population of spiders. Zodarion jozefienae spiders specialize on Messor barbarus ants that are polymorphic in body size and hence comprise potential trophic niches for the spider, making this s...

Abstract
We assessed age-related differences of bone mass (grams of bone mineral), geometry, and derived strength in 219 treatment-naïve postmenopausal women using peripheral quantitative computed tomography of the load-bearing tibia. Subjects were separated in 3 age groups: A=48-59yr (N=80), B=60-69yr (N=...

Abstract
We accomplish this by scanning a commercially available QCT phantom and a corresponding quality assurance phantom. To assess the feasibility of having the QCT phantom in place while patients are being scanned, we measured radiation dose difference in a CT body phantom with and without the QCT phanto...

The aim of the present study was to assess socioeconomic characteristics, dietary intake, nutritional status and cardiovascular risk (using anthropometric indicators of central obesity) in lacto-ovo vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Two non-vegetarians were selected for each vegetarian (paired for gen...

Abstract
We investigated whether spiders fed lipid-rich rather than protein-rich prey elevate metabolism to avoid carrying excessive lipid deposits, or whether they store ingested lipids as a buffer against possible future starvation. We fed wolf spiders (Pardosa prativaga) prey of different lipid:protein co...
