Association Between Anthropometric Indicators of Nutrition Status and Length of...
Pinto, AC; Sousa, AS; Amaral, Teresa; Guerra, RSBackground Undernutrition is associated with increased hospital length of stay (LOS). Anthropometrics is required for undernutrition screening and diagnosis. However, the measurements which are more strongly associated with LOS are to be specified. This study aims to measure the independent association of weight, triceps skinfold thickness (TST), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), adductor pollicis muscle thic...
The rs5743836 polymorphism in TLR9 confers a population-based increased risk of...

Adequate anti-tumoral responses are known to depend on TLR9 function, such that the use of its synthetic ligand is b...
