BACKGROUND Elevated fasting total homocysteine (tHcy) levels were recently shown to confer an independent risk for all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among selected Norwegian patients with confirmed coronary heart disease. We examined whether elevated fasting plasma tHcy levels were predictive of all-cause and CVD mortality in a large, population-based sample of elderly US wom...

Protein and Total Plasma Homocysteine To the Editor: We read with great interest the article on circulating vitamin B6 levels and C-reactive protein (CRP) in cardiovascular disease (CVD) by Friso et al1 showing that low plasma pyridoxal 5 -phosphate (PLP) is associated with higher CRP levels. Total plasma homocysteine (tHcy), a well-known risk factor for CVD,2 represents a major determinant of ...

The usage of molten salts, e.g., Na2MoO4 and Na2WO4, has shown great success in the growth two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In comparison with halide salt (i.e., NaCl, NaBr, KI)-assisted (Salt 1.0), salt-assisted vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) technique 2.0) improved reproducibility, efficiency scalability synthesizing 2D TMDCs. However...
