Journal ArticleDOI
Suicide in the home in relation to gun ownership
Arthur L. Kellermann,Frederick P. Rivara,Grant Somes,Donald T. Reay,Jerry T. Francisco,Joyce G. Banton,Janice Prodzinski,Corinne L. Fligner,Bela B. Hackman +8 more
TL;DR: Owners of firearms should weigh their reasons for keeping a gun in the home against the possibility that it might someday be used in a suicide, and be aware of the potential risks to their health.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Magnitude of Acute and Chronic Alcohol Abuse in Trauma Patients
Frederick P. Rivara,Gregory J. Jurkovich,James G. Gurney,Debra Seguin,Corinne L. Fligner,Richard K. Ries,Vidmantas A. Raisys,Michael K. Copass +7 more
TL;DR: The high prevalence of both acute intoxication and chronic alcoholism in trauma patients indicates the need to diagnose and appropriately treat this pervasive problem in trauma victims.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional Isolation Drives Bacterial Diversification within Cystic Fibrosis Lungs.
Peter Jorth,Benjamin J. Staudinger,Xia Wu,Katherine B. Hisert,Hillary S. Hayden,Jayanthi Garudathri,Christopher L. Harding,Matthew C. Radey,Amir Rezayat,Gilbert E. Bautista,William R. Berrington,Amanda F. Goddard,Chunxiang Zheng,Angus Angermeyer,Mitchell J. Brittnacher,Jacob O. Kitzman,Jay Shendure,Corinne L. Fligner,John E. Mittler,Moira L. Aitken,Colin Manoil,James E. Bruce,Timothy L. Yahr,Pradeep K. Singh +23 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that bacterial intermixing is limited in CF lungs and that regional selective pressures may markedly differ, which may explain how specialized bacterial variants arise during infection and raise the possibility that pathogen diversification occurs in other chronic infections characterized by spatially heterogeneous conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
β-Cell Loss and β-Cell Apoptosis in Human Type 2 Diabetes Are Related to Islet Amyloid Deposition
Catherine A. Jurgens,Mirna N. Toukatly,Corinne L. Fligner,Jayalakshmi Udayasankar,Shoba L. Subramanian,Sakeneh Zraika,Kathryn Aston-Mourney,Darcy B. Carr,Per Westermark,Gunilla T. Westermark,Steven E. Kahn,Rebecca L. Hull +11 more
TL;DR: Islet amyloid is associated with decreasedβ-cell area and increased β-cell apoptosis, suggesting that islet ameloid deposition contributes to the decreased β- cell mass that characterizes type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Acute Alcohol Intoxication and Chronic Alcohol Abuse on Outcome From Trauma
Gregory J. Jurkovich,Frederick P. Rivara,James G. Gurney,Corinne L. Fligner,Richard K. Ries,Beth A. Mueller,Michael K. Copass +6 more
TL;DR: Chronic, but not acute, alcohol abuse adversely affects outcome from trauma, and screening trauma patients for chronic alcohol abuse appears to be warranted.
