The records of 549 bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients at The Johns Hopkins Oncology Center during a 9-year period were reviewed to determine the incidence of bronchiolitis obliterans (BrOb). Seven patients had BrOb. All seven died, and BrOb was a contributing cause of death in six patients. Only recipients of allogeneic BMT were at risk for developing BrOb (2% incidence). Three cases were in...

Development of the airways, alveoli, and the pulmonary vasculature in the fetus is a process that is precisely controlled. One of the growth factors involved, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), is so critical for embryonic development that in the mouse, elimination of just a single allele is lethal. In the early stages of lung development, the mouse VEGF gene expresses three isoforms (1...

Differential cross sections for the (p, n) reaction on ‘*,%r and 57,5XFe have been measured for angles up to Slirh = X0.5” and 14.6”, respectively, using 120 MeV protons. The observed angular distributions are used to evaluate the location and strength of Gamow-Teller resonances. A shell-model calculation of this strength distribution is presented and compared with the experimental results. The...

Delinquency has been defined as youthful behavior that violates the law. 1 Juvenile court statistics indicate that 2.9 percent of American youths age 10-17 appear in Juvenile Court each year (excluding traffic offenses). Considering there are about 36 million youngsters in this age range in the United States,2 that means each year over a million youths are in serious trouble and appearing in co...

We present the first 86 GHz VLBI observations of the radio galaxy 3C 120, together with contemporaneous 43 and 22 GHz polarimetric VLBA observations. The very high angular resolution obtained at 86 GHz provides an upper limit to the size of the core of 54 mas (0.025 h pc). This represents a direct determination of the base of the jet that is independent of variability arguments (which depend on...

On June 14, 1999, a 71-yr-old man was hospitalized with a 1-week history of exertional shortness of breath, foot swelling, and feeling poorly. In 1982, he was hospitalized with congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation, attributed to myocarditis. In 1985, atrial fibrillation recurred and responded to chronic quinidine therapy. In early 1996, quinidine was stopped, followed by paroxysmal ...
