A Functional riboSNitch in the 3' Untranslated Region of Alters MicroRNA-320a Binding Efficiency and Mediates Vulnerability to Chronic Post-Traumatic Pain.

Previous studies have shown that common variants of the gene coding for FK506-binding protein 51 (), a critical regulator of glucocorticoid sensitivity, affect vulnerability to stress-related disorders. In a previous report, rs1360780 was identified as a functional variant because of its effect on gene methylation. Here we report evidence for a novel functional allele, rs3800373.

Methodology of AA CRASH: a prospective observational study evaluating the incidence and pathogenesis of adverse post-traumatic sequelae in African-Americans experiencing motor vehicle collision.

Introduction: A motor vehicle collision (MVC) is one of the most common life-threatening events experienced by individuals living in the USA. While most individuals recover following MVC, a significant proportion of individuals develop adverse post-traumatic sequelae such as post-traumatic stress disorder or persistent musculoskeletal pain. Adverse post-traumatic sequelae are common, morbid and costly public health problems in the USA and other industrialised countries.

Graphical user interface for a remote medical monitoring system: U.S. Army medic recommendations.

We obtained recommendations for a graphical user interface (GUI) design for a new medical monitoring system. Data were obtained from 26 combat-experienced medics. Volunteers were briefed on the medical monitoring system.
