Developmental rate isomorphy in insects and mites.

The American naturalist

Jarosík V, Honek A, Dixon AF.
PMID: 18707525
Am Nat. 2002 Oct;160(4):497-510. doi: 10.1086/342077.

When the proportion of total developmental time spent in a particular developmental stage does not change with temperature, an organism shows "rate isomorphy." This is the case only if the lower developmental threshold is the same for all developmental...

The electronic fetal monitor: should every mother have one?.

Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien

Dixon AS.
PMID: 21289757
Can Fam Physician. 1981 Jun;27:1023-8.

In little more than a decade, the use of electronic fetal monitoring has become standard obstetric practice. Increasingly it is being suggested that all labors should be monitored electronically, and that such universal monitoring will result in improved neonatal...

Back to the future: 10 years of European health reforms.

Health economics, policy, and law

Dixon A, Poteliakhoff E.
PMID: 22221926
Health Econ Policy Law. 2012 Jan;7(1):1-10. doi: 10.1017/S1744133111000247.

The challenges facing European health systems have changed little over 30 years but the responses to them have. Policy ideas that emerged in some countries spread to others; however, the way policies were implemented and the impact they have...

Complementarity of genes for resistance to greenbug [Schizaphis graminum (Rondani)], biotype E, in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench].

TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics. Theoretische und angewandte Genetik

Dixon AG, Bramel-Cox PJ, Harvey TL.
PMID: 24221166
Theor Appl Genet. 1991 Jan;81(1):105-10. doi: 10.1007/BF00226119.

Gene complementarity among various sources of resistance to greenbug biotype E was assessed. Analysis of the F2 generation of crosses between susceptible and resistant parents (mating 1) and among sources of resistance (mating 2) suggested that resistance in sorghum...

Heterogeneous substitution effects in chlorocyanomethyl radical and chlorocyanocarbene.

The journal of physical chemistry. A

Khuseynov D, Dixon AR, Goebbert DJ, Sanov A.
PMID: 24050499
J Phys Chem A. 2013 Oct 17;117(41):10681-91. doi: 10.1021/jp4053117. Epub 2013 Oct 04.

We report a photoelectron-imaging investigation of the chlorocyanomethyl radical (CHClCN) and the corresponding carbene (CClCN). The results are discussed in comparison with the corresponding dichloro- and dicyano-substituted species, focusing on the divergent effects of the halogen and pseudohalogen (CN)...

One motif to bind them: A small-XXX-small motif affects transmembrane domain 1 oligomerization, function, localization, and cross-talk between two yeast GPCRs.

Biochimica et biophysica acta

Lock A, Forfar R, Weston C, Bowsher L, Upton GJ, Reynolds CA, Ladds G, Dixon AM.
PMID: 25157670
Biochim Biophys Acta. 2014 Dec;1838(12):3036-51. doi: 10.1016/j.bbamem.2014.08.019. Epub 2014 Aug 23.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell-surface receptors in mammals and facilitate a range of physiological responses triggered by a variety of ligands. GPCRs were thought to function as monomers, however it is now accepted that...

Hearts too good to die: an evaluation of coronary care.

Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien

Dixon AS.
PMID: 21279061
Can Fam Physician. 1984 Nov;30:2345-52.

Intensive coronary care has become the standard treatment for acute myocardial infarction, and no self-respecting hospital would be without its coronary care unit. However, literature review to evaluate the contribution of coronary care shows that its promise may have...

Plasticity of the thermal requirements of exotherms and adaptation to environmental conditions.

Ecology and evolution

Honek A, Martinkova Z, Lukas J, Dixon AF.
PMID: 25247067
Ecol Evol. 2014 Aug;4(15):3103-12. doi: 10.1002/ece3.1170. Epub 2014 Jul 15.

UNLABELLED: In exothermal organisms, temperature is an important determinant of the rate of ecophysiological processes, which monotonically increase between the minimum (t d min) and maximum (t d max) temperatures typical for each species. In insects, t d min...

Attack strategy of ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae): factors shaping their numerical response.

Oecologia

Hemptinne J-, Dixon AF, Coffin J.
PMID: 28313719
Oecologia. 1992 May;90(2):238-245. doi: 10.1007/BF00317181.

Temporal changes in aphid abundance pose a considerable challenge to ovipositing aphidophagous ladybirds, as in order to maximize their fitness they need to synchronize their reproduction with the early development of aphid populations. Field census data and laboratory experiments...

Temperature prediction and the timing of sex in aphids.

Oecologia

Ward SA, Leather SR, Dixon AF.
PMID: 28310718
Oecologia. 1984 May;62(2):230-233. doi: 10.1007/BF00379018.

The aphid life cycle contains a series of parthenogenetic, viviparous generations, followed usually by a sexual generation that produces resistant overwintering eggs. Since the decision to produce sexually-reproducing offspring ends the period of rapid growth of the clone, it...

Achalasia: A case report on its effect during surgical decision making for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in the young morbidly obese patient.

International journal of surgery case reports

Oviedo RJ, Sofiak CW, Dixon BM.
PMID: 27423062
Int J Surg Case Rep. 2016;26:4-6. doi: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2016.06.046. Epub 2016 Jul 07.

INTRODUCTION: Achalasia is a condition that occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) fails to properly relax, combined with slowing/failure of esophageal peristalsis. This is seen clinically by not allowing solids and liquids to pass easily into the stomach....
