Disease relevance of HBM

TE85, osteosarcoma cells with osteoblastic characteristics and normal bone cells derived from mandible (HBM) were used [1].
HBM 45 was expressed by all 44 primary, none of 6 DMM, and 7 of 12 metastatic melanomas; by none of 10 schwannomas, 6 neurofibromas, 1 neurofibrosarcoma, 1 perineurioma and 2 neurothekeomas [2].
OBJECTIVE: To report clinical, morphologic, and immunohistochemical studies on autosomal dominant, clinically nonprogressive, and not previously described progressive forms of hyaline body (HB) myopathy (HBM) in a Saudi Arabian kindred [3].
The aims of this study are; to assess the current compliance with free colorectal cancer screening among Hispanic women who are participating in a national breast and cervical cancer screening program (NBCCEDP), and to examine the effects of a set of key constructs from the HBM and the TPB on compliance with the Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) [4].

High impact information on HBM

The goal of this study was to examine the applicability of the Health Belief (HBM) and Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) models in predicting drug-taking compliance behavior among female patients with uncomplicated urinary tract infections [5].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of HBM

Second, female preintervention Comparison program virgins used effective contraceptive methods more consistently than those who attended the HBM-SLT program (p less than 0.01); among males, the intervention programs were equally effective [6].
