Dibenzo(def,p)chrysene (DBC), (also known as dibenzo[a,l]pyrene), is a high molecular weight
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) found in the environment, including food, produced by
the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. DBC, classified by IARC as a 2A probable human
carcinogen, has a relative potency factor (RPF) in animal cancer models 30-fold higher...

An Expert Panel convened by the National Lipid Association previously developed a consensus set of recommendations for the patient-centered management of dyslipidemia in clinical medicine (part 1). These were guided by the principle that reducing elevated levels of atherogenic cholesterol (non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) reduces the risk...

Toxoplasma gondii, the most common parasitic infection of human brain and eye, persists across lifetimes, can progressively damage sight, and is currently incurable. New, curative medicines are needed urgently. Herein, we develop novel models to facilitate drug development: EGS strain T. gondii forms cysts in vitro that induce oocysts in...

Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of late blight disease, has been reported in North America since the mid-nineteenth century. In the United States the lack of or very limited sexual reproduction has resulted in largely clonal populations of P. infestans. In 2010 and 2011, but not in 2012 or 2013,...

Background: High birthweight is an established risk factor for childhood leukaemia.
Its association with other childhood cancers is less clear, with studies hampered by low
case numbers. Methods: We used two large independent datasets to explore risk associations between
birthweight and all subtypes of childhood cancer. Data for 16 554...

Predatory lionfishes (Pterois volitans and P. miles) were introduced to Florida waters during the mid to late 1980s, and eventually established self-sustaining breeding populations in the tropical western Atlantic. These invasive species are now widespread along the southeastern seaboard of the United States, across the Caribbean Sea, and in the...

Elliptical borehole enlargements or "breakouts" caused by systematic spalling of a
borehole wall due to regional maximum horizontal stresses were identified in 18 wells
drilled in the Coast Range and Willamette Valley of western Oregon. The breakouts
generally indicate a NNW to NNE orientation of maximum horizontal compression

Comparative phylogeography offers a unique opportunity to understand the interplay between past environmental events and life-history traits on diversification of unrelated but co-distributed species. Here, we examined the effects of the quaternary climate fluctuations and palaeomarine currents and present-day marine currents on the extant patterns of genetic diversity in the...
