Quality of human-computer interaction : results of a national usability survey of hospital-IT in Germany
(2011)Background: Due to the increasing functionality of medical information systems, it is hard to imagine day to day work in hospitals without IT support. Therefore, the design of dialogues between humans and information systems ... -
Is there a lateralized category effect for color?
(2011)According to the lateralized category effect for color, the influence of color category borders on color perception in fast reaction time tasks is significantly stronger in the right visual field than in the left. This ... -
Identification and role of regulatory non-coding RNAs in Listeria monocytogenes
(2011)Bacterial regulatory non-coding RNAs control numerous mRNA targets that direct a plethora of biological processes, such as the adaption to environmental changes, growth and virulence. Recently developed high-throughput ... -
Presence of intestinal Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) DNA is not associated with altered MMP expression in ulcerative colitis
(2011)Background: Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is suspected to be a causative agent in human Crohn´s disease (CD). Recent evidence suggests that pathogenic mycobacteria and MAP can induce the expression ... -
Creating highly specific nucleases by fusion of active restriction endonucleases and catalytically inactive homing endonucleases
(2011)Zinc-finger nucleases and TALE nucleases are produced by combining a specific DNA-binding module and a non-specific DNA-cleavage module, resulting in nucleases able to cleave DNA at a unique sequence. Here a new approach ... -
Motion transparency : depth ordering and smooth pursuit eye movements
(2011)When two overlapping, transparent surfaces move in different directions, there is ambiguity with respect to the depth ordering of the surfaces. Little is known about the surface features that are used to resolve this ... -
Uropathogenic E. coli induce different immune response in testicular and peritoneal macrophages : Implications for testicular immune privilege
(2011)Infertility affects one in seven couples and ascending bacterial infections of the male genitourinary tract by Escherichia coli are an important cause of male factor infertility. Thus understanding mechanisms by which ... -
A novel zinc-finger nuclease platform with a sequence-specific cleavage module
(2011)Zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs) typically consist of three to four zinc fingers (ZFs) and the non-specific DNA-cleavage domain of the restriction endonuclease FokI. In this configuration, the ZFs constitute the binding module ... -
Ion transport by pulmonary epithelia
(2011)The lung surface of air-breathing vertebrates is formed by a continuous epithelium that is covered by a fluid layer. In the airways, this epitheliumis largely pseudostratified consisting of diverse cell types such as ... -
Object knowledge modulates colour appearance
(2011)We investigated the memory colour effect for colour diagnostic artificial objects. Since knowledge about these objects and their colours has been learned in everyday life, these stimuli allow the investigation of the ... -
Identification and functional characterization of novel phosphorylation sites in TAK1-Binding Protein (TAB) 1
(2011)TAB1 was defined as a regulatory subunit of the protein kinase TAK1, which functions upstream in the pathways activated by interleukin (IL)-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), toll-like receptors (TLRs) and stressors. However, ... -
Universal stress proteins are important for oxidative and acid stress resistance and growth of Listeria monocytogenes EGD-e in vitro and in vivo
(2011)Background: Pathogenic bacteria maintain a multifaceted apparatus to resist damage caused by external stimuli. As part of this, the universal stress protein A (UspA) and its homologues, initially discovered in Escherichia ... -
Vaccine-induced antibodies linked to bovine neonatal pancytopenia (BNP) recognize cattle major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I)
(2011)A mysterious disease affecting calves, named bovine neonatal pancytopenia (BNP), emerged in 2007 in several European countries. Epidemiological studies revealed a connection between BNP and vaccination with an inactivated ... -
Cancer induces cardiomyocyte remodeling and hypoinnervation in the left ventricle of the mouse heart
(2011)Cancer is often associated with cachexia, cardiovascular symptoms and autonomic dysregulation. We tested whether extracardiac cancer directly affects the innervation of left ventricular myocardium. Mice injected with Lewis ... -
Strength gains by motor imagery with different ratios of physical to mental practice
(2011)The purpose of this training study was to determine the magnitude of strength gains following a high-intensity resistance training (i.e., improvement of neuromuscular coordination) that can be achieved by imagery of the ... -
The effect of a music program on phonological awareness in preschoolers
(2011)The present experiment investigated the effect of a music training program on phonological awareness in preschoolers. In particular, the effects of a music training program and a phonological skills training program on ... -
Freshwater biogeography and limnological evolution of the Tibetan plateau : Insights from a plateau-wide distributed gastropod taxon (Radix spp.)
(2011)Background: The Tibetan Plateau is not only the highest and largest plateau on earth; it is also home to numerous freshwater lakes potentially harbouring endemic faunal elements. As it remains largely unknown whether these ... -
Motor skill learning, retention, and control deficits in Parkinson´s disease
(2011)Parkinson´s disease, which affects the basal ganglia, is known to lead to various impairments of motor control. Since the basal ganglia have also been shown to be involved in learning processes, motor learning has frequently ... -
Effect of L-carnitine on the hepatic transcript profile in piglets as animal model
(2011)Background: Carnitine has attracted scientific interest due to several health-related effects, like protection against neurodegeneration, mitochondrial decay, and oxidative stress as well as improvement of glucose tolerance ... -
Activation of the parieto-premotor network is associated with vivid motor imagery : A parametric fMRI study
(2011)The present study examined the neural basis of vivid motor imagery with parametrical functional magnetic resonance imaging. 22 participants performed motor imagery (MI) of six different right-hand movements that differed ...
