Journal ArticleDOI
Organization of central adrenergic pathways : I. Relationships of ventrolateral medullary projections to the hypothalamus and spinal cord
Diane C. Tucker,Diane C. Tucker,Clifford B. Saper,Clifford B. Saper,David A. Ruggiero,Donald J. Reis +5 more
TL;DR: This work studied the organization of projections from the C1 adrenergic and A1 noradrenergic cell groups in the ventrolateral medulla to the hypothalamus and the spinal cord by using a combination of retrograde transport of fluorescent tracers and immunocytochemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized pilot of a self-guided internet coping group for women with early-stage breast cancer.
Jason E. Owen,Joshua C. Klapow,David L. Roth,John L. Shuster,Jeff Bellis,Ron L. Meredith,Diane C. Tucker +6 more
TL;DR: There was a significant interaction between baseline self-reported health status and treatment, such that women with poorer self-perceived health status showed greater improvement in perceived health over time when assigned to the treatment condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood pressure reactivity to psychological stress and coronary calcification in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study.
TL;DR: This is the first study that reports blood pressure reactivity to a stressor being related to calcification in the coronary arteries, and may provide useful prognostic information about future risk beyond standard risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endogenous origin of glomerular endothelial and mesangial cells in grafts of embryonic kidneys
Deborah Hyink,Diane C. Tucker,P. L. St John,Vijittra Leardkamolkarn,M. A. Accavitti,C. K. Abrass,Dale R. Abrahamson +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence shows that cells of endogenous kidney origin were almost entirely responsible for development of the glomerular microvasculature in oculo, and external vessels from the host, although important for graft maintenance, were not major contributors to the glomersulus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Knowledge about genetic risk for breast cancer and perceptions of genetic testing in a sociodemographically diverse sample.
TL;DR: This study is the first to assess several dimensions of informed consent for genetic testing among a sociodemographically diverse group and the findings should enable health professionals to target the African American and lower-income populations with the appropriate education and counseling.
