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, ...
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 ...
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.
Postural differences in the shoulder girdle during normal locomotion in treadmill vs. over ground walking
(IOS Press, 2006)
In a clinical setting, most musculoskeletal assessment related to gait is undertaken using a treadmill which is additionally widely used during gait and neurological rehabilitation. Although previous studies have reported ...
Two-component models are of limited value for the assessment of body composition in patients with cirrhosis
(2006)
Most techniques for measuring body composition are based on 2-component models (2-CMs) and depend on assumptions relating to the constancy of the density (D(FFM)) and hydration fraction (HF(FFM)) of fat-free mass (FFM).
Soy-isoflavone-enriched foods and inflammatory biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk in postmenopausal women : interactions with genotype and equol production
(2005-12)
Dietary isoflavones are thought to be cardioprotective because of their structural similarity to estrogen. The reduction of concentrations of circulating inflammatory markers by estrogen may be one of the mechanisms by ...
Haptoglobin beta chain isoforms in the plasma and peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis
(2005-05)
To estimate the expression of haptoglobin (Hp) beta chain isoforms in the peritoneal fluid (PF) and plasma (PL) of women with and without endometriosis.
Vitamin D binding protein in endometriosis
(2005-05)
Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis is a powerful method for identifying post-translationally modified molecules in biological fluids. We examined the presence and expression of vitamin D binding protein (DBP) in the ...
