Introduction Visually evoked seizures have been reported for almost 2,000 years. This source of seizure activity, however, seems to have increased recently with the advent of new technologies used for television and computer ...
Sulfur mustard toxicity: history, chemistry, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics.
(2011)
Sulfur mustard (SM) and similar bifunctional agents have been used as chemical weapons for almost 100 years. Victims of high-dose exposure, both combatants and civilians, may die within hours or weeks, but low-dose exposure ...
Calcitriol started in the donor, expands the population of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells in renal transplant recipients
(2007)
Objectives. Alloreactive T cells recognize antigens via direct and indirect pathways. The competency of costimulatory molecules on antigen-presenting cells (APC) is important. An active form of vitamin D (1,25(OH)(2)D-3, ...
Time-dependent variations in urine output after renal transplantation
(2007)
Introduction. Diuresis begins soon after renal transplantation. Although controversial, early post kidney transplant urine volume may correlate with favorable short- and long-term allograft survival. The aim of the present ...
Serum erythropoietin levels and their correlation with the erythropoietic system in hemodialysis patients and renal allograft recipients
(2007)
Background. Following renal transplantation, serum erythropoietin (EPO) levels gradually increase during the first 2 to 3 months. However, some transplant recipients continue to remain anemic. The aim of the present study ...

Postrenal transplant hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and thrombotic microangiopathy associated with Parvovirus B19 infection
(2008)
Persistent anemia is a known consequence of Parvovirus B19 (B19) infection following renal transplantation. However, to date, no description of B19-related hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) exists in renal transplant ...

Black tea improves endothelial function in renal transplant recipients
(2007)
Background. Endothelial damage and dysfunction are commonplace in renal transplant recipients. Impaired endothelial function is an important contributor to cardiovascular diseases. We hypothesized that short-term black tea ...
