The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (also known as combination therapy) has transformed the nature of HIV infection from a severe and ultimately fatal disease to that of a manageable chronic condition. HIV drugs are... more
Urinary incontinence (UI), the involuntary leakage of urine due to the loss or weakened control of the urinary sphincter, is a crucial subject of medicine that has physiological, psychological, and sociological complications [25]. Urinary... more
Genetic factors have historically been thought of as important in the development of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). For the estimation of the relative importance of genetic and environmental factors, twin studies are an obvious... more
Epithelial ovarian cancer is known to aggregate in families. The dominantly inherited ovarian cancer predisposing genes, BRCA1, BRCA2 and genes involved in the hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome, have recently... more
Historically, authoritarian attitudes have been attributed to influences within the rearing environment, based on the incorrect assumption that similarity between family members demonstrates cultural transmission. To unconfound... more
Peer relationships are commonly thought to be critical for adolescent socialization, including the development of negative health behaviors such as alcohol and tobacco use. The interplay between genetic liability and peer influences on... more
Physiological responses to high altitude hypoxia are complex and involve a range of mechanisms some of which occur within minutes of oxygen deprivation while others reset a cascade of biosynthetic and physiological programs within the... more
Personality dimensions have been associated with symptoms dimensions in schizophrenic patients (SP). In this paper we study the relationships between symptoms of functional psychoses and personality dimensions in SP and their first-degree... more
The origin of diversification and coexistence of genes and species have been traditionally studied in isolated biological levels. Ecological and evolutionary views have focused on the mechanisms that enable or constrain species... more
Cholesteatoma is a destructive lesion of the temporal bone that gradually expands and causes compli-cations by erosion of the adjacent bony structures. Bone resorption can result in destruction of the ossicular chain and otic capsule with... more
Resolution of the genetic components of complex disorders may require simultaneous analysis of the contribution of individual quantitative trait loci (QTLs) to multiple variables. A likelihood approach is used to illustrate how the... more
Research on antecedents of organized attachment has focused on the quality of caregiving received during childhood. In recent years, research has begun to examine the influence of genetic factors on quality of infant attachment. However,... more
