A self-management concept for men at the community level: the 'waist' disposal challenge (2009)

Aoun, Samar, Osseiran-Moisson, Rebecca, Collins, F., Newton, R., Newton, M.

The Waist Disposal Challenge consisted of a health intervention at the community level to bring about a reduction in body mass index (BMI) and is delivered at three levels: educational presentations...

Individual and organisational factors influencing academics` decisions to pursue the scholarship and teaching of ICT (2005)

Lynch, Julianne, Sheard, J., Carbone, A., Collins, F.

This paper focuses on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) academics' perceptions of factors that promote and inhibit their pursuit of scholarship in their teaching work. It identifies...

Initial sequencing and analysis of the human genome (2001)

Lander, ES, Linton, LM, Birren, B, Nusbaum, C, Zody, MC, Baldwin, J, ...

The human genome holds an extraordinary trove of information about human development, physiology, medicine and evolution. Here we report the results of an international collaboration to produce and...

Flux géniques chez Anopheles gambiae, vecteur du paludisme : implication dans la transmission (1996)

Simard, Frédéric, Diatta, Mathurin, Lemasson, Jean-Jacques, Lehmann, T., Collins, F., Fontenille, Didier

L'étude de la génétique des populations des anophèles du complexe Anopheles gambiae s.l., principal vecteur du paludisme humain en Afrique a été entreprise au laboratoire ORSTOM de Zoologie...

Cloning and functional expression of cDNAs encoding human and rat pancreatic polypeptide receptors.

Yan, H, Yang, J, Marasco, J, Yamaguchi, K, Brenner, S, Collins, F, ...

PCR was used to isolate nucleotide sequences that may encode novel members of the neuropeptide Y receptor family. By use of a PCR product as a hybridization probe, a full-length human cDNA was...

Localisation of the endpoints of deletions in the 5' region of the Duchenne gene using a sequence isolated by chromosome jumping.

Kenwrick, S J, Smith, T J, England, S, Collins, F, Davies, K E

We have used chromosome jumping technology to move from within a large intron sequence in the Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene to a region adjacent to exons of the gene. The single copy jump...

Elongating nerve fibers are guided by a pathway of material released from embryonic nonneuronal cells.

Collins, F, Garrett, J E

Dissociated parasympathetic neurons rapidly initiate neurite outgrowth when exposed to culture medium previously conditioned by the growth of embryonic heart cells. The inducer of neurite outgrowth...

Structure of and alterations to defective murine sarcoma virus particles lacking envelope proteins and core polyprotein cleavage.

Demsey, A, Collins, F, Kawka, D

HTG2 hamster cells produce a defective murine sarcoma virus lacking gp70 and, consequently, viral surface projections (knobs), but the lack of knobs appears to have no effect on intramembrane...

An effect of nerve growth factor on parasympathetic neurite outgrowth.

Collins, F, Dawson, A

Addition of nerve growth factor (NGF) to dissociated parasympathetic ciliary ganglion neurons resulted, within 60 min of its addition, in a 2-fold increase in average neurite length and an...

Malignant melanotic schwannoma of the bronchus.

Rowlands, D, Edwards, C, Collins, F

A case of malignant melanotic schwannoma arising in the right upper lobe bronchus of a 27 year old man is presented. Tumours of this type most commonly occur in spinal nerve roots and are generally...

An amino acid substitution in the pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 alpha gene, affecting mitochondrial import of the precursor protein.

Takakubo, F, Cartwright, P, Hoogenraad, N, Thorburn, D R, Collins, F, Lithgow, T, ...

A mutation in the mitochondrial targeting sequence was characterized in a male patient with X chromosome-linked pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 alpha deficiency. The mutation was a base substitution of G...

Growth of recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra in mouse macrophages

FALCONE, V, COLLINS, F

Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and H37Ra were derived from the same parental strain but differ strikingly in their virulence for experimental animals. Transfer of genetic material between these...

Mixed malignant tumour of the lung.

Edwards, C W, Saunders, A M, Collins, F

A mixed malignant tumour of the lung intermediate in type between pulmonary blastoma and carcinosarcoma is described. The epithelial component consisted of squamous carcinoma, undifferentiated...

Mutational analysis using oligonucleotide microarrays

Hacia, J., Collins, F.

The development of inexpensive high throughput methods to identify individual DNA sequence differences is important to the future growth of medical genetics. This has become increasingly apparent as...

Exploring the garbage can: A study of information flows

Collins, F, Munter, P

The Garbage Can Model (GCM) has been used to study behavioral aspects of organizations and has been found to be a useful paradigm. In this study, the GCM has been used to study the behavioral...

African-American heredity prostate cancer study: a model for genetic research.

Powell, I. J., Carpten, J., Dunston, G., Kittles, R., Bennett, J., Hoke, G., ...

A genome-wide scan of high-risk prostate cancer families in North America has demonstrated linkage of a particular marker to Chromosome 1q (HPC1). An even greater proportion of African-American...

Surveillance of insecticide resistance in head lice using biochemical and molecular methods

Thomas, D Rh, McCarroll, L, Roberts, R, Karunaratne, P, Roberts, C, Casey, D, ...

Treatment of head louse infection is primarily through topical insecticides. However, there is growing evidence of resistance. A representative population sample was tested using biochemical and...
