To address patterns of genetic connectivity in a mass-aggregating marine fish, we analyzed genetic variation in
mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), microsatellites, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for Nassau grouper (Epinephelus
striatus). We expected Nassau grouper to exhibit genetic differentiation among its subpopulations due to its reproductive
behavior and retentive oceanographic conditions...

BACKGROUND: Occupational exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF) is a
suspected risk factor for brain tumours, however the literature is inconsistent. Few studies have
assessed whether ELF in different time windows of exposure may be associated with specific
histologic types of brain tumours. This study examines the association...

Cytogenetic chromosome maps offer molecular tools for genome analysis and clinical cytogenetics and are of particular
importance for species with difficult karyotypes, such as camelids (2n = 74). Building on the available human-camel zoo-fluorescence
in situ hybridization (FISH) data, we developed the first cytogenetic map for the alpaca (Lama pacos,...

The terrestrial biosphere sequesters up to a
third of annual anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions,
offsetting a substantial portion of greenhouse
gas forcing of the climate system. Although a number
of factors are responsible for this terrestrial carbon
sink, atmospheric nitrogen deposition contributes by
enhancing tree productivity and promoting carbon
storage...

Organic agriculture requires cultivars that can adapt to organic crop management systems without the use of synthetic
pesticides as well as genotypes with improved nutritional value. The aim of this study encompassing 16 experiments was to
compare 23 broccoli cultivars for the content of phytochemicals associated with health promotion grown...

BACKGROUND: On the basis of the 2014 guidelines for hypertension therapy in the United States,
many eligible adults remain untreated. We projected the cost-effectiveness of treating
hypertension in U.S. adults according to the 2014 guidelines.
METHODS: We used the Cardiovascular Disease Policy Model to simulate drug-treatment and
monitoring costs, costs...

OBJECTIVE: The associations of some risk factors with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are attenuated in
older age; whereas others appear robust. The present study aimed to compare CVD risk factors across
older age. METHODS: Participants (n = 4883) in the Cardiovascular Health Study free of prevalent CVD,
were stratified into three...
