Cancer Risk and Mortality Following Kaposi Sarcoma Among People with HIV in the United States, 2000 to 2019NARA Subscribed
People with HIV (PWH) have increased Kaposi sarcoma (KS) risk. Among 2,645 PWH with KS in the United States HIV/AIDS Cancer Match Study, subsequent cancer risk was elevated 2.8-fold (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.4–3.3) compared to PWH without KS. Mortality after KS declined 2000–2002 and 2012–2015 (hazard ratio = 0.64; 95%CI: 0.55–0.74).
Purpose Worksite health promotion programs (WHPPs) are able to promote a healthier lifestyle for blue-collar workers in freight transport, yet their participation is generally low. This study aims to identify different health lifestyle classes among blue-collar workers in freight transport and investigate the relationship between class membership and WHPP participation. Methods Data from 16,897 employees were obtained from an...
Land use, hydroclimate and damming influence organic carbon sedimentation in a flood pulse wetland, MalaysiaNARA Subscribed
Water bodies located in floodplains and tropical forests are known to be important carbon stores, but many are subjected to intensive pressures from damming, land use and climate changes. Sedimentary records preserve long‐term archives for understanding how such changes affect the quantity and quality of carbon stores. We analysed sediment cores from seven sites across a flood‐pulse multi‐basin wetland, Tasik Chini in Peninsul...
Geography and ecology shape the phylogenetic composition of Amazonian tree communitiesNARA Subscribed
Aim Amazonia hosts more tree species from numerous evolutionary lineages, both young and ancient, than any other biogeographic region. Previous studies have shown that tree lineages colonized multiple edaphic environments and dispersed widely across Amazonia, leading to a hypothesis, which we test, that lineages should not be strongly associated with either geographic regions or edaphic forest types. Location Amazonia. Taxon A...
Functional expression of the ATP-gated P2X7 receptor in human iPSC-derived astrocytesNARA Subscribed
Activation of the ATP-gated P2X7 receptor (P2X7R), implicated in numerous diseases of the brain, can trigger diverse responses such as the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, modulation of neurotransmission, cell proliferation or cell death. However, despite the known species-specific differences in its pharmacological properties, to date, most functional studies on P2X7R responses have been analyzed in cells from rodents o...
A 1500‐year record of North Atlantic storm flooding from lacustrine sediments, Shetland Islands (UK)NARA Subscribed
Severe storm flooding poses a major hazard to the coasts of north‐western Europe. However, the long‐term recurrence patterns of extreme coastal flooding and their governing factors are poorly understood. Therefore, high‐resolution sedimentary records of past North Atlantic storm flooding are required. This multi‐proxy study reconstructs storm‐induced overwash processes from coastal lake sediments on the Shetland Islands using...
Objective Workplace health promotion programs (WHPPs) have shown to be effective in improving lifestyle behaviors of employees. Despite potential benefits for employees, participation rates are generally low. The aim of this study was to gain deeper insight into barriers and facilitators for participation in WHPPs prior to implementation according to employees. Methods Peer-to-peer interviewing, a method derived from citizen s...
Geographic patterns of tree dispersal modes in Amazonia and their ecological correlatesNARA Subscribed
Aim To investigate the geographic patterns and ecological correlates in the geographic distribution of the most common tree dispersal modes in Amazonia (endozoochory, synzoochory, anemochory and hydrochory). We examined if the proportional abundance of these dispersal modes could be explained by the availability of dispersal agents (disperser‐availability hypothesis) and/or the availability of resources for constructing zoocho...
