Studies on Pure Red Cell Aplasia . XI

Thirty-seven patients with pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) were seen between 1 966 and 1 982. Ten patients had accompanying diseases described in association with PRCA, while the remainder had primary PACA. All but two patients were treated with some form of immune manipulation. including corticosteroids. cytotoxic drugs. antithymocyte globulin. splenectomy. thymectomy. and plasmapheresis. Twenty-...

Primer on medical genomics. Part XI: Visualizing human chromosomes.

In the past century, various methods to visualize human chromosomes were discovered. Chromosome analyses provide an overall view of the human genome that cannot be achieved with any other approach. The methods to visualize chromosomes include various techniques to produce bands along chromosomes, specialized procedures for specific disorders, and fluorescent-labeled DNA for targeted loci. Cytog...

X-ray studies on phospholipid bilayers. XI. Interactions with chloramphenicol.

Chloramphenicol is a widely used antibiotic with low levels of toxicity. However, scanning electron microscopy revealed morphological changes in human erythrocytes when they interacted in vitro with therapeutical concentrations of chloramphenicol. To explain this shape change, a study concerned with the possible interactions of this antibiotic with bilayers built-up of phospholipids located in ...
