BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE NXY-059 is a nitrone-based free radical-trapping agent in development for acute stroke. In patients with acute stroke, NXY-059 is well tolerated at concentrations known to be associated with neuroprotection in animal models of transient cerebral ischemia; however, higher target concentrations appear necessary on the basis of animal models of permanent ischemia. METHODS ...

Although the presence of leukemic infiltrate in isolated organs of patie~ts \\'ith chronic lymphocytic leukemia has been reported. the effects of leukemic infiltration into v!rious organs of such patients have never been comprehensively studied. To determine the effects of leukemic infiltration \ve reviewed the histologic sections of multiple organs in 47 cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia a...

P ERIODIC REPORTS HAVE EMPHASIZED the lack of stability of repeated tuberCulin skin tests in children. Kunofsky and Katz1 reported on two large groups in two schools for mental defectives. Reversion rates of 4 to 19 per cent were found. Marks et al.2 reported reversion rates between 12 and 26 per cent, depending on Criteria used, during a one-year period of observation of 1,100 tuberculin posit...

A SURVEY which shows that NHS trust chief executives' pay has been rising by more than double the percentage of nurses' pay has provoked anger in nursing organisations.

Basu (2006) argues that the prevalence of 99 cent prices in shops can be explained with rational consumers who disregard the rightmost digits of the price. This bounded rational behaviour leads to a Bertrand equilibrium with positive markups. We use data from an Austrian price comparison site and find results highly compatible with Basu’s theory. We can show that price points in particular pric...

BACKGROUND Numerous published studies have explored associations between anaemia and adverse outcomes after surgery. However, there are no evidence syntheses describing the impact of preoperative anaemia on postoperative outcomes. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies exploring associations between preoperative anaemia and postoperative outcomes was performed....
