S. Gider et al. (1) studied classical and quantum magnetic phenomena in natural and artificial ferritin proteins. If the magnetic moment of the ferritin molecules is blocked below 5 K, as Gider et al. show in figures 1 and 2 of their report (1), then the observed resonance at 24.3 mK, shown in figure 3 of their report, cannot be attributed to quantum oscillations of the magnetic moment between ...

To the Editor: Mitzner argues that constant phase modeling is not more useful that simpler methods and no research has substantiated the importance of several variables determined by constant phase modeling (6). This is untrue and indicates only a cursory attempt at a literature review. We clearly established a developmental pattern in normal healthy newborn rat pups where PV curves, tissue dam...

Out-of-hemodialysis-unit blood pressure is a superior determinant of left ventricular hypertrophy. Home blood pressures are of greater prog-nostic value than hemodialysis unit recordings. Home blood pressure monitoring in blood pressure control among haemodialysis patients: an open rando-mized clinical trial. et al. Blood pressure and risk of all-cause mortality in advanced chronic kidney disea...
