Respiratory virus infections (RVI) have become an increasingly appreciated problem in the hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) population. A retrospective analysis of 274 patients undergoing 281 HSCT at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital from January 1994 through December 1997 was performed. Medical and clinical laboratory records were reviewed beginning at the onset of conditioning thr...

An emission at 281 nm with a 10.5 ns single exponential decay and a highly selective, narrow excitation region between 202 and 211 nm has been observed for Ce doped in Cs3LuCl6. Wavelengths between 50–200 nm and longer than 215 nm have zero excitation efficiency. Excitation and emission spectra of Cs3LuCl6 :Ce 31 in the 10–300 K temperature range were excited by pulsed synchrotron radiation bet...

Background and Purpose: Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiologic agent of Lyme disease, can cause different neurological manifestations. We studied the prevalence of Lyme neuroborreliosis in patients with stroke. Methods: During a 1-year period, sera from patients with cerebral thrombosis or transient ischemic attack without cardioembolism were investigated for antibodies against B burgdorferi. Resu...

LINK TO PAPER Automated Mapping with the ESRI Map Books Extension Track: Cartography and Map Production Author(s): Vince Hamilton Automated mapping techniques using the MapBook application will demonstrated. The session will show how to use grids and strip maps to create the maps. The session will also show how to use VBB scripts to clean up roadway labeling. The use of global and local indicat...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility to anti-leishmanial agents of 24 strains isolated from dogs living in the urban area of Alger lacking drug selection pressure. Two different Leishmania infantum zymodemes, MON-1 and MON-281, were identified in these dogs. The in vitro susceptibility to the main forms of antimonial and amphotericin were assessed on promastigote and amastig...

Ataxia telangiectasia patients, with constitutional bi-allelic ATM mutations, have a marked risk of lymphoid tumors and ATM mutation carriers have a smaller risk of cancer. Sporadic ATM mutations occur in 10-20% of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and are often associated with chromosome 11q deletions which cause loss of an ATM allele. The role of constitutional ATM mutations in the pathogenesis of...
