The authors report extensive high-level ab initio studies of the first excited (Ã (2)A(')) state of HO(2). A global potential energy surface (PES) was developed by spline-fitting 17 000 ab initio points at the internal contracted multireference configuration interaction (icMRCI) level with the AVQZ basis set. To ascertain the spectroscopic accuracy of the PES, the near-equilibrium region of the...

Ginkgo biloba is a widely used herbal product that could potentially have a severe interaction with warfarin, which is the most frequently prescribed anticoagulant agent in North America. Literature, however, provides conflicting evidence on the presence and severity of the interaction. In this study, we developed text processing methods to extract the ginkgo usage and combined it with prescrip...

BACKGROUND European mistletoe (Viscum album) products used in cancer therapy are frequently combined with other anti-cancer-drugs. Hence, potential herb-drug interactions have become a major safety concern in mistletoe therapy. METHODS Three European mistletoe products (Helixor® A, Helixor® M and Helixor® P from mistletoe grown on firs, apple trees and pines, respectively) were tested for inh...

Method Data were retrieved on all 0-17-year-old individuals with reported asthma/eczema medication in the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register (SPDR) and/or an asthma diagnosis in the National Patient Register (NPR) between 2005-2009 (N=121,944). Medical records retrieved from prescribing units, for 2,250 randomly selected individuals, were reviewed to estimate the proportion of individuals with 1)...
