Assessment of food accessibility, availability and adherence to dietary recommendations among diabetic older adults living in subsidized retirement homes
DownloadSpring 2012
The availability and accessibility of healthy foods for type 2 diabetes patients may limit their food choices and adherence to dietary recommendations. The accessibility and availability of food for low-income, diabetic, older adults was evaluated. Information was gathered regarding self-care...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide. It has been proposed that AD pathology is transmissible by a “prion-like” mechanism through extracellular vesicles (EVs) that contain Aβ. In this context, EVs describe both microvesicles and exosomes,...

Cellular level/distribution of γ-secretase subunit nicastrin and its modulator p23 in the brain
DownloadSpring 2010
The processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β- and γ-secretases produces amyloid β (Aβ) peptide, the principal component of the neuritic plaques found in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. The enzyme γ-secretase is a multimeric protein consisting of presenilins-1/2 (PS1/PS2), nicastrin,...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder believed to be triggered by the accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ)-related peptides derived from the proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP). Research over the last two decades has shown that alterations in the levels...

Background: Ischemic stroke is associated with cognitive impairment, but the acute cognitive sequelae of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and minor stroke is unknown. We hypothesized that transient cognitive impairment can be predicted by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesion volume. Methods:...

Current Issues and Regulations in Tendon Regeneration and Musculoskeletal Repair with Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Download2011-11-01
Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent stromal cells residing within the connective tissue of most organs. Their surface phenotype has been well described. Most commonly, mesenchymal stem cells demonstrate the ability to differentiate into mesenchymal tissues (bone, catailge, fat, etc...),...
