Warm Autoadsorption: Are We Wasting Our Time?

BACKGROUND: Our current adsorption procedure follows the accepted practice of adsorbing autoantibodies from patient’s serum up to three times with either ZZAP-pretreated patient red blood cells (RBCs) and/or ficin-pretreated allogeneic RBCs. This time-consuming process can require up to six hours, which may create significant delays that can impact patient care. The aim of this study was to mod...

What is the risk of chronic wasting disease being introduced into Great Britain?

Childhood cancers: space-time distribution in Britain.

STUDY OBJECTIVES To examine a national data set of all childhood cancers for evidence of space-time interactions within three distinct sets of dates and places (at birth, at diagnosis, and at death), to show whether the patterns found for these events represent separate phenomena or statistically interdependent processes, and to see whether the childhood leukaemias and the childhood solid cance...

Time trends in motorcycle accidents in Britain.

This paper draws on routinely collected data to describe the trends for motorcycling and motorcycle accidents in Britain between 1951 and 1980. The level of risk (calculated as motorcyclist fatalities per motorcycle kilometre travelled) has fallen, but this effect has been overwhelmed by changes in motorcycle...
