Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion magnetic resonance monitors intramyocellular lipid droplet size in vivo.
TL;DR: This work investigated the molecular diffusion behavior of IMCL with diffusion magnetic resonance spectroscopy to develop noninvasive means to measure droplet microstructure in vivo.
Journal Article
Hyperferremia in immunosuppressed patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia and the risk of infection.
TL;DR: In patients receiving treatment for acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, five patients had normal serum iron concentrations initially, but in each patient the transferrin saturation was elevated after receiving chemotherapy, usually to greater than 90% for greater than 15 days in conjunction with prolonged, profound granulocytopenia and fever.
Journal Article

TL;DR: Results suggest that a 3-day course of artemisinin-piperaquine deserves further evaluation as an alternative treatment for multidrug-resistant P. falciparum malaria.
Journal Article

TL;DR: The excellent results with NAC, the lack of adverse effects, and the rationale for NAC benefit supports the need for a large, double blind trial of NAC as an adjunctive therapy for severe malaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the Volume of Red Blood Cells: Application of the Expectation-Maximization Algorithm to Grouped Data from the Doubly-Truncated Lognormal Distribution
TL;DR: The results suggest that, for the analysis of red blood cell volumes, parameter estimation should be made with the expectation-maximization method, and the truncated lognormal distribution should be used as a reference distribution for goodness-of-fit testing.
