Experimenting with phenomenology
(2006-03)
We review the use of introspective and phenomenological methods in experimental settings. We distinguish different senses of introspection, and further distinguish phenomenological method from introspectionist approaches. ...
Does genotype and equol-production status affect response to isoflavones? : Data from a pan-European study on the effects of isoflavones on cardiovascular risk markers in post-menopausal women
(2006-02)
The increase in CVD incidence following the menopause is associated with oestrogen loss. Dietary isoflavones are thought to be cardioprotective via their oestrogenic and oestrogen receptor-independent effects, but evidence ...
Is there a difference between the ability to kneel after unilateral and bilateral total knee replacement?
(2006)
This study investigates the difference between the ability to kneel in patients after unilateral and bilateral total knee replacement. We used the Oxford knee questionnaire to assess knee function, and an additional question ...
Soy isoflavones increase preprandial peptide YY (PYY), but have no effect on ghrelin and body weight in healthy postmenopausal women
(2006)
Soy isoflavones show structural and functional similarities to estradiol. Available data indicate that estradiol and estradiol-like components may interact with gut "satiety hormones" such as peptide YY (PYY) and ghrelin, ...
Systemic delivery of morpholino oligonucleotide restores dystrophin expression bodywide and improves dystrophic pathology
(2006)
For the majority of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) mutations, antisense oligonucleotide (AON)-mediated exon skipping has the potential to restore a functional protein. Here we show that weekly intravenous injections of ...
Consumption of soy isoflavones does not affect plasma total homocysteine or asymmetric dimethylarginine concentrations in healthy postmenopausal women
(2006-01)
Postmenopausal women are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease because many risk factors are aggravated by menopause. Phytoestrogens may modulate risk factors favorably, involving mechanisms similar to estrogen. The ...
Sensing of lysophospholipids by TRPC5 calcium channel
(2006)
TRPC calcium channels are emerging as a ubiquitous feature of vertebrate cells, but understanding of them is hampered by limited knowledge of the mechanisms of activation and identity of endogenous regulators. We have ...
Derivation and validation of a new global method for assessing nutritional status in patients with cirrhosis
(2006)
Accurate assessments of nutritional status are difficult to obtain in patients with cirrhosis. The aim of this study was to devise and validate a global nutritional assessment scheme for use in this patient population. ...
Randomized controlled trial of specific spinal stabilization exercises and conventional physiotherapy for recurrent low back pain
(2006)
Pragmatic, multicentered randomized controlled trial, with 12-month follow-up.
