Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term consequences of toxic epidermal necrolysis in children.

Robert L. Sheridan, +7 more
- 01 Jan 2002 - 
TL;DR: Survival has improved in children with TEN, but long-term sequelae are not infrequent, including the eyes, the skin, and the nails; the most common long- Term morbidity involved eyes, nails, and variegated skin depigmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developing Effective Alzheimer's Disease Therapies: Clinical Experience and Future Directions.

David R. Elmaleh, +5 more
- 01 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials, focused on disease modifying drugs and conducted in patients with mild to moderate AD, as well as prodromal AD, have failed to reach efficacy endpoints in improving cognitive function in most cases to date or have been terminated due to adverse events.
Journal Article

Autoradiographic method for quantitation of radiolabeled proteins in tissues using indium-111.

E M Morrell, +7 more
- 01 Sep 1989 - 
TL;DR: A quantitative autoradiographic method was developed to measure 111In-labeled proteins in extravascular tissues with a spatial resolution sufficient to associate these proteins with tissue morphology, and significantly higher average tissue concentrations were found in the infected thighs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cultured autologous epithelium in patients with burns of ninety percent or more of the body surface.

Robert L. Sheridan, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1995 - 
TL;DR: CAE can materially contribute to wound closure in patients with very extensive burns, but gram-negative sepsis is associated with complete graft loss, and such liabilities become more tolerable as usable donor site decreases below 5% to 10% of the body surface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early elevation in random plasma IL-6 after severe injury is associated with development of organ failure

Joseph Cuschieri, +12 more
- 01 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: Elevation in plasma IL-6 seems to correlate with a poor prognosis, so this measurement may be useful as a biomarker for prognosis and serve to identify patients at higher risk of adverse outcome that would benefit from novel therapeutic interventions.
