Disruption of pqs synthesis using precursor analogs
(2004-01-08)
The present invention concerns methods of detecting bacterial infections as well as methods of treating such infections with compounds such as methyl anthranilate. The detection and treatment of Pseudomonas is particularly ...
Composition, kit and method for treatment of disorders associated withbronchoconstriction and lung inflammation
(2000-02-15)
A method of reducing bronchoconstriction in a subject in need of suchtreatment is disclosed. The method comprises administering to the subject an Antisenseoligonucleotide molecule directed against the A.sub.1 or A.sub.3 ...
Fixed dried red blood cells and method of use
(2005-04-26)
Fixed-dried red blood cells (RBCs), and processes for preparing the same are disclosed. The red blood cells, upon reconstitution with distilled water or appropriate buffer: bind oxygen with native affinities, have partial ...
Coarse Particulate Matter (PM2.5 - 10) Affects Heart Rate Variability, Blood Lipids, and Circulating Eosinophils in Adults with Asthma
(East Carolina University, 2007-05)
INTRODUCTION: We investigated whether markers of airway and systemic inflammation, as well as heart rate variability (HRV) in asthmatics, change in response to fluctuations in ambient particulate matter (PM) in the coarse ...

(2000-07-11)
A method and composition for reducing adenosine levels comprises administering a dehydroepiandrosterone, and optionally a ubiquinone.
Correction:Peer chart audits: A tool to meet Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) competency in practice-based learning and improvement
(East Carolina University, 2007-07-27)
Background: The Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) supports chart audit as a method to track competency in Practice-Based Learning and Improvement. We
examined whether peer chart audits performed ...
The agony of agonal respiration: is the last gasp necessary?
(East Carolina University, 2002-06)
Gasping respiration in the dying patient is the last respiratory pattern prior to terminal apnoea. The
duration of the gasping respiration phase varies; it may be as brief as one or two breaths to a
prolonged period of ...
LOCAL ADMINISTRATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE INHIBITS NEOINTIMA FORMATION IN BALLOON INJURED RAT CAROTID ARTERIES
(2005)
Recent studies indicate that systemic induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), which oxidatively degrades heme into iron, biliverdin, and carbon monoxide (CO), or adenoviral-mediated gene transfer of HO-1 inhibits neointima ...
Synergistic Proapoptotic Activity of Recombinant Trail Plus the AKT Inhibitor Perifosine in Acute Myelogenous Leukemia Cells
(East Carolina University, 2008-11-15)
To potentiate the response of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cells to TNF-Related Apoptosis- Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) cytotoxicity, we have examined the efficacy of a combination with perifosine, a novel phosphatidylinositol ...
Raman tweezers provide the fingerprint of cells supporting the late stages of KSHV reactivation
(East Carolina University, 2009-08)
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has both latent and lytic phases of replication. The molecular switch that triggers a reactivation is still unclear. Cells from S phase of cell cycle provide apt conditions ...
