Measurements of urine or plasma metanephrine (MN) and normetanephrine (NMN) are considered pivotal tests in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. There has also been increasing interest in measuring 3-methoxytyramine (3MT), the corresponding Omethylated metabolite of dopamine. 3MT measurement might allow earlier diagnosis of rare cases of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma that s...

derivative3–6 (1) have been reported to have a greater tendency to yield polynuclear complexes. This communication presents the X-ray structure of the Ni–Mn–Ni complex (2) prepared using ligand 1 (Fig. 1). The title complex was prepared in two steps. Step 1: After the ligand (0.01 mol, 2.98 g) was dissolved in hot EtOH (50 mL), a solution of NiCl2·6H2O (0.01 mol, 2.37 g) in hot water (30 mL) an...

In HIV patients who discontinue highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), the degree of HIV RNA suppression at the time of treatment interruption may predict success of re-treatment after the interruption (STI). A case-control substudy of the Staccato trial in Thailand included CD4-guided STI subjects with HIV RNA > 50 copies /ml (virological failure cases, n=11) and HIV RNA < 50 copies/ml ...
