In-vitro activity of polymyxin B in combination with imipenem, rifampicin and azithromycin versus multidrug resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii producing OXA-23 carbapenemases.
(2006-04-21)
BACKGROUND: Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a major nosocomial pathogen worldwide. Many of the circulating strains exhibit multi-drug resistance remaining consistently susceptible only to polymyxins. In-vitro studies ...
[Comparison of socio-demographic characteristics of patients with PTSD in the four countries of former Yugoslavia following the war].
(2006)
OBJECTIVE: To determine the socio-demographic characteristics of survivors who presented for treatment in therapeutic centers in the four Balkan countries involved in the study by summarizing the results of STOP study ...
Preparation of alpha-synuclein fibrils for solid-state NMR: expression, purification, and incubation of wild-type and mutant forms.
(2006-07)
We report the expression and purification of alpha-synuclein, a protein implicated in Parkinson's disease, from isotopically (13C, 15N) labeled bacterial growth media, as required for solid-state NMR structural studies. ...
Modelling multiple hospital outcomes: the impact of small area and primary care practice variation.
(2006-11-16)
BACKGROUND: Appropriate management of care--for example, avoiding unnecessary attendances at, or admissions to, hospital emergency units when they could be handled in primary care--is an important part of health strategy. ...
Meta-DiSc: a software for meta-analysis of test accuracy data.
(2006-07-12)
BACKGROUND: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of test accuracy studies are increasingly being recognised as central in guiding clinical practice. However, there is currently no dedicated and comprehensive software for ...
Meeting report: national workshops for the communication of air pollution and health information: summary of four workshops in different regions of Europe.
(2006-07)
AIRNET was a thematic network project (2002-2004) initiated to stimulate the interaction between researchers in air pollution and health in Europe. As part of AIRNET's communication strategy, a standardized workshop model ...
Immunization with a lentiviral vector stimulates both CD4 and CD8 T cell responses to an ovalbumin transgene.
(2006-02)
Lentiviral vectors encoding antigens are promising vaccine candidates because they transduce dendritic cells (DC) in vivo and prime CTL responses. Here we examine their stimulation of antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells, ...
Innate and adaptive mucosal immunity in protection against HIV infection.
(2006-04-01)
The appalling toll on the populations of developing countries as a result of the HIV epidemic shows no signs of abatement. While costly drug therapies are effective in developed nations, the sheer scale of the epidemic ...
Identification of plasma protein biomarkers associated with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.
(2006-04)
We have employed SELDI-TOF MS to screen for differentially expressed proteins in plasma samples from 27 patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and 26 healthy controls. One ion (m/z approximately ...
