Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial DNA mutations in black Americans with hypertension-associated end-stage renal disease.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that mtDNA may account for a portion of hypertensive cases in black Americans with ESRD is supported, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms in flanking regions of these genes are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical Applications for Change-Point Analysis of Herpes Zoster Pain
Renee A. Desmond,Heidi L. Weiss,Ramin B. Arani,Seng-Jaw Soong,Martin J. Wood,Paul A. Fiddian,John W. Gnann,Richard J. Whitley +7 more
TL;DR: This model verifies three phases of zoster pain and delineates the impact of treatment and other factors on the phase-specific rates of pain cessation and supports effects of age, baseline pain and number lesions on pain cessation rates in the acute phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rosiglitazone, a PPAR gamma agonist: potent promoter of hydroxybutyl(butyl)nitrosamine-induced urinary bladder cancers.
Ronald A. Lubet,Susan M. Fischer,Vernon E. Steele,M. Margaret Juliana,Renee A. Desmond,Clinton J. Grubbs +5 more
TL;DR: Rosiglitazone over a wide dose range enhanced urinary bladder carcinogenesis in the OH‐BBN model in rats, and did not result in bladder cancer formation when given for 10 months.
Journal Article
Targeting oncolytic adenoviral agents to the epidermal growth factor pathway with a secretory fusion molecule.
TL;DR: A replication-competent dual-virus system secreting the adaptor displayed increased oncolytic potency in vitro and therapeutic gain in vivo, which could translate into increased efficacy and specificity in the treatment of EGFR overexpressing human cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of distribution of lean body mass on resting metabolic rate after weight loss and weight regain: comparison of responses in white and black women
Nuala M. Byrne,Roland L. Weinsier,Gary R. Hunter,Renee A. Desmond,Mindy Patterson,Betty E. Darnell,Paul A. Zuckerman +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of weight change on regional lean body mass (LBM) distribution or on racial differences in resting metabolic rate (RMR) was examined in white and black women.
