Journal Article
Metal ion-dependent hydrogen peroxide-induced DNA damage is more sequence specific than metal specific
TL;DR: It is concluded that during H2O2 in vivo treatment of cells, metal ions are freed from the cytoplasm to migrate into the nucleus and supply the redox cycling ligands necessary for oxidative base damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between increased homocysteine levels and impaired fibrinolytic potential: potential mechanism for cardiovascular risk.
Geoffrey H. Tofler,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Paul F. Jacques,Andrew G. Bostom,Peter W.F. Wilson,Izabela Lipinska,Murray A. Mittleman,Jacob Selhub +7 more
TL;DR: Folic acid and other homocysteine lowering therapies may decrease cardiac events through a reduction in thrombotic tendency, as indicated by increased PAI-1 and TPA antigen levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of composite endpoints in clinical trials
TL;DR: The utility of composite endpoints in clinical trials and some of the common approaches for dealing with multiplicity arising from their use are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation probability points of b2 for small samples
TL;DR: A table of percentiles of b2, the fourth standardized sample moment, applicable for samples of size 50 or less is given in this paper, which can be used for testing the hypothesis of normality against alternatives of nonnormality due to kurtosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In the Framingham Heart Study, the Arg/Gln polymorphism was significantly associated with factor VII antigen levels, and the strength of the association suggests that genetic variation plays an important role in determining factor VII levels.
