TL;DR: BP values in young male whites increased significantly with increasing BMI values but were independent of the C825T polymorphism, suggesting that hypertension associated with the 825T allele could be a consequence of obesity.

TL;DR: The determination of α(1,3/1,4)fucosyltransferase activity, after transfection of plasmids containing the new alleles into COS7 cells, suggested that alleles le484,667 and le484-667,808 encoded an inactive enzyme, and that allele Le304 and Le370 encoded a functional enzyme.

TL;DR: Preliminary results show peripheral blood cells used in the short tandem repeat (STR) assay to serially characterise the haematologic course and so evaluate the usefulness of this system to be a useful additional tool in monitoring post-transplant engraftment.

TL;DR: A striking difference in PLG allele distribution between Negroes from South Africa and published Negroid frequencies from North America could be observed and was also seen in comparison with Mongoloid populations.

TL;DR: In 1939 Osgood et al. reported infusing bone marrow into patients with severe aplastic anaemia without any clinical benefit, and in 1957 Donnall Thomas and co-workers showed that marrow can be collected, stored in significant quantities and safely administered.
