The aim of this study was to assess the effect of cell determinant (CD)34+ cell dose on the cost and consequences of peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) patients in front-line therapy. Resource utilisation, length of aplasia, overall (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were assessed for 63 patients. Economic data were calculated taking into account harvest...

Ab initio calculations at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ, B3PW91/aug-ccpVDZ, MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ, B3LYP/6-311 G(2d,2p), B3PW91/6-311 G(2d,2p), and MP2/6-311 G(2d,2p) levels are performed for the IR spectra of isolated water and methanol molecules and hydrogen-bonded water–methanol, methanol–water, and methanol–methanol complexes. Frequency shifts and changes in intensities are obtained for the proton donor ...

increase in number of erythrocytes in these animals. If polycythaemia is due to some direct nervous influence it might be expected that in these animals in which the nervous condition is intact, nervous stimuli as fright, would cause an increase in number of red corpuscles. As the direct stimulation of the nerves to the liver causes no increase in number of erythrocytes, and as in animals in wh...

Hemagglutination and fluorescent antibody (FA) are compared for the direct detection of virus devoid of host cells. A determination was made of the minimal number of tissue plaque-forming units of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis virus that could be detected by the hemagglutination technique. Similar concentrations of the virus in bovine albumin borate saline, Brain Heart Infusion broth (Dif...

BACKGROUND Phycobilisomes (PBsomes) are the extrinsic antenna complexes upon the photosynthetic membranes in red algae and most cyanobacteria. The PBsomes in the cyanobacteria has been proposed to present high lateral mobility on the thylakoid membrane surface. In contrast, direct measurement of PBsome motility in red algae has been lacking so far. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this work,...
