Examining Disparities in Route of Surgery and Postoperative Complications in Black Race and Hysterectomy
Obstetrics and gynecology ·doi:10.1097/aog.0000000000002990

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the associations among race, route of hysterectomy, and postoperative complications among women undergoing hysterectomy for benign indications. METHODS: A cohort study was performed. All patients undergoing hysterect…

Interleukin-8 and interleukin-10, brain volume and microstructure, and the influence of calorie restriction in old rhesus macaques
Age (Dordrecht, Netherlands) ·doi:10.1007/s11357-013-9518-y

Higher systemic levels of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) were found to be associated with lower gray matter volume and tissue density in old rhesus macaques. This association between IL-6, and these brain indices were att…

Age-related changes in neural volume and microstructure associated with interleukin-6 are ameliorated by a calorie-restricted diet in old rhesus monkeys
NeuroImage ·doi:10.1016/j.neuroimage.2010.03.015

Systemic levels of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) increase in old age and may contribute to neural atrophy in humans. We investigated IL-6 associations with age in T1-weighted segments and microstructural diffusion i…
