Effects of Physical Activity on Disordered Eating Behaviours in Individuals With a Psychotic Disorder.

Aim: This study aims to determine the effect of physical activity on cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating and emotional eating in individuals with a psychotic disorder.

Methods: Twenty-seven participants with a psychotic disorder (55% male; mean age: 30 ± 7.5 years; Caucasian: 66.

Neuroblastoma in relation to joint effects of vitamin A and maternal and offspring variants in vitamin A-related genes: A report of the Children's Oncology Group.

Background: There is evidence vitamin A plays a role in neuroblastoma. Not only is 13-cis-retinoic acid used as maintenance therapy for high-risk cases, but prenatal vitamin intake use may decrease neuroblastoma risk. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in vitamin A-related genes are may be associated with neuroblastoma risk and potentially be modified by vitamin A intake.

Protein phosphatase 2A is crucial for sarcomere organization in Caenorhabditis elegans striated muscle.

Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a heterotrimer composed of single catalytic and scaffolding subunits and one of several possible regulatory subunits. We identified PPTR-2, a regulatory subunit of PP2A, as a binding partner for the giant muscle protein UNC-89 (obscurin) in Caenorhabditis elegans. PPTR-2 is required for sarcomere organization when its paralogue, PPTR-1, is deficient.

Multicenter Study of Staging and Therapeutic Predictors of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence Following Transplantation.

Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) and resection are effective treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, optimizing OLT and limiting HCC recurrence remains a vexing problem. New HCC Model for End-Stage Liver Disease and allocation algorithms provide greater observation of HCC patients, many while receiving local-regional treatments.

A family-based study of gene variants and maternal folate and choline in neuroblastoma: a report from the Children's Oncology Group.

Purpose: Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer of the sympathetic nervous system with embryonic origins. Previous epidemiologic studies suggest maternal vitamin supplementation during pregnancy reduces the risk of neuroblastoma. We hypothesized offspring and maternal genetic variants in folate-related and choline-related genes are associated with neuroblastoma and modify the effects of maternal intake of folate, choline, and folic acid.
