Disease relevance of Transients and Migrants

 

Psychiatry related information on Transients and Migrants

  • The particular behavior pattern of these migrants also bears the stamp of their rational household decision-making processes as well as their feelings of moral obligation toward their kin in their community of origin."[6]
 

High impact information on Transients and Migrants

  • We suggest that the freshly isolated CD4-positive blood dendritic cells are recent migrants from the bone marrow, and that subsequent maturation of the lineage occurs in tissues in situ upon appropriate exposure to cytokines [7].
  • Systemic lupus erythematosus in migrants from west Africa compared with Afro-Caribbean people in the UK [8].
  • As a result of the forces of the Industrial Revolution underway in 19th century Great Britain, migrants moved from farms to villages, from villages to towns, from towns to county seats, and thence to large cities [9].
  • When the mutation rate is small relative to the migration rate and the reciprocal of the group size, GST depends mainly on the absolute number of migrants per generation, moves rapidly to near equilibrium, and is independent of the number of alleles [10].
  • The majority of the MMGL-positive cell migrants were negative for FITC fluorescence despite the presence of FITC-labeled cells that included Langerhans cell migrants [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Transients and Migrants

  • Type 2 diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, and hypertension in offspring of migrants and the structure of the population of origin [12].
  • A case of cutaneous leishmaniasis, which was successfully treated with metronidazole, is reported from Western Australia. Transmission is unlikely to occur in this country, but it is important to be aware that it may present in migrants or in travellers from endemic areas up to four years after inoculation of the parasite [13].
  • Changed energy balance related to diet and work patterns may be related to the increased incidence of diabetes in migrants, in a population predisposed by high serum uric acid concentrations, obesity and high fertility [14].
 

Biological context of Transients and Migrants

  • In addition, the individuals comprising Semai fission groups are kinsmen which implies that the number of independent genomes represented is markedly less than the number of individual migrants (the lineal effect) [15].
  • HAN and LAN migrant groups to a nonnative environment were classified as: multigeneration migrants, born and raised in a nonnative environment; child migrants who migrated to the nonnative environment during the period of growth and development (0-18 years old); and adult migrants who migrated after 18 years of age [16].
 

Anatomical context of Transients and Migrants

 

Associations of Transients and Migrants with chemical compounds

  • Glucose tolerance in a Saharan nomad population--the Broayas, from the Toubou ethnic group [19].
  • Migrants identified in this way were analyzed with rhodamine-anti-Thy-1 or rhodamine peanut agglutinin (PNA) [20].
  • The migrants were identified in the peripheral lymphoid organs by their fluorescence, 3 to 4 hr after intrathymic injection of a solution of fluorescein isothiocyanate, a technique that initially only labels thymocytes [20].
  • Further data on the prognosis of tuberculosis and the effects of isoniazid preventive therapy in Southeast Asian migrants to Western countries are required to inform policy and practice for the prevention of tuberculosis in this population [21].
  • Vitamin E status of agricultural migrant workers in Southern Brazil [22].
 

Gene context of Transients and Migrants

  • IGFBP-1 was significantly lower in UK migrants (mean 29.5 [95% CI 25.9-33.0] vs 56.5 [50.6-62.5] microg/l; F=48.4, p<0.001) [23].
  • RESULTS: Total energy and total fat intake were higher in UK migrants, as were IGFBP-3 and IGF-I (mean (95% confidence interval): 145.9 (138.1-153.6) vs. 100.9 (94.6-107.3) ng ml(-1); F=76.6, P<0.001) [24].
  • Prostate size was measured by planimetric ultrasound in 163 men residing in Sydney who were either Australian non-Chinese (AR; n = 116) or Chinese migrants (ACM; n = 47) and had lived in Australia for a median of 7.3 yr (range, 0.2-25 yr) [25].
  • Transferase-deficient galactosaemia, resulting from deficient activity of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT), is relatively common among the Travellers, an endogamous group of commercial/industrial nomads within the Irish population [26].
  • The majority of G6PD-deficient subjects were descendants of Omani, Baluchi or Yemeni migrants [27].
