Journal ArticleDOI

Nasal continuous positive airway pressure in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea

TL;DR: Long-term compliance with CPAP was studied in a survey of 121 patients who underwent a CPAP trial, and patients tended toward greater compliance when they received regular follow-up care by a physician with significant experience with this treatment modality.
Journal ArticleDOI

The gene for murine megakaryocyte growth and development factor (thrombopoietin, Thpo) is located on mouse chromosome 16

TL;DR: To determine chromosomal location of the murine MGDF gene (locus designation thrombopoietin, Thpo), interspecific backcross progeny were generated by mating and typed for over 1700 loci that are well distributed among all of the autosomes as well as the X chromosome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of chemical activation of expression of the endogenous ecotropic murine leukemia provirus Emv-3

TL;DR: These studies may provide a basis for development of a sensitive assay for the mutagenic activity of a variety of chemical carcinogens in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of the gene encoding the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Ubcm4, characterization of its promoter, and chromosomal location

TL;DR: The Ubcm4 gene was mapped by interspecific backcross analysis to the proximal region of mouse chromosome 16 and showed that this region can promote the expression of a reporter gene and that 15bp upstream of the first initiation site were sufficient for basal expression.
Journal Article

Retroviral DNA content of the mouse genome.

TL;DR: Chromosome mapping studies have shown that retrovirus-related sequences are dispersed throughout the mouse genome, in most cases were acquired after speciation but before inbreeding, and occasionally cause mutations as a result of integrating within themouse genome.
