Benefit of carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic and asymptomatic severe carotid artery stenosis: a Markov model based on data from randomized controlled trials. Clinical article.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Several major randomized controlled trials of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients with both symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis have addressed the net effects of CEA on the risk of stroke. However, because the risk of ... Read more...

The word landscape of the non-coding segments of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome.

6 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Genome sequences can be conceptualized as arrangements of motifs or words. The frequencies and positional distributions of these words within particular non-coding genomic segments provide important insights into how the words function ... Read more...

Amphioxus (Branchiostoma floridae) has orthologs of vertebrate odorant receptors.

3 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: A common feature of chemosensory systems is the involvement of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the detection of environmental stimuli. Several lineages of GPCRs are involved in vertebrate olfaction, including trace ... Read more...
