Introduction Listeriosis is a food-borne disease which primarily affects people in particular risk-groups (immuno-suppressed, elderly, neonates) in which lethality is as high as 25%. The disease does occur in out-breaks but most cases appear as sporadic cases. The disease is primarily associated with ready-to-eat (RTE) food products with extended (refrigerated) shelf life. Outbreaks have mostly...

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 ...
