Examining stress and response to stress in medical students and new medical graduates
Published 2002-01-01MOST MEMBERS OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION feel stressed at some time. If stress is ongoing, impairment may occur (defined as being unable to safely or reliably perform one’s role). A continuum appears to exist between functioning ...Open AccessArticle -
Comparison of human mammary epithelial cells immortalized by simian virus 40 T-Antigen or by the telomerase catalytic subunit
Published 2002-01-01We directly compared two methods of immortalizing human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs). Cells were transfected with an expression plasmid either for hTERT, the catalytic subunit of telomerase, or for the simian virus 40 ...Open AccessArticle -
Chronic central melanocortin-4 receptor antagonism and central neuropeptide-Y infusion in rats produce increased adiposity by divergent pathways

Y4 receptor knockout rescues fertility in ob/ob mice
Published 2002-05-01Hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been implicated in the regulation of energy balance and reproduction, and chronically elevated NPY levels in the hypothalamus are associated with obesity and reduced reproductive ...Open AccessArticle -
Important role of hypothalamic Y2 receptors in body weight regulation revealed in conditional knockout mice

Synergistic effects of Y2 and Y4 receptors on adiposity and bone mass revealed in double knockout mice
Published 2003-08-01Neuropeptide Y regulates numerous physiological processes via at least five different Y receptors, but the specific roles of each receptor are still unclear. We previously demonstrated that Y2 receptor knockout results in ...Open AccessArticle -
Burnout and psychiatric morbidity in new medical graduates
Published 2004-01-01OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity and burnout in final-year medical students, and changes in these measures during the intern year. DESIGN: Prospective longitudinal cohort study over 18 months, ...Open AccessArticle -
Interleukin 2 Receptor Antagonists for Kidney Transplant Recipients
Published 2004-01-26Background: Interleukin 2 receptor antagonists (IL2Ra) are used as induction therapy for prophylaxis against acute rejection in kidney transplant recipients. Use of IL2Ra has increased steadily, with 38% of new kidney ...Open AccessArticle -
