Prolonged acquired neutropenia in children.
13 Dec 2009 
BACKGROUND: Acquired neutropenia is not uncommon in childhood. This study investigated the risk factors associated with developing prolonged acquired neutropenia. PROCEDURE: We reviewed 66,062 hospital admission medical records from the 5-year ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 A retrospective survey was performed on all staphylococcal infections diagnosed by the Ashtabula County Medical Center (Ashtabula, OH) during 2006 and 2007. Of the 1,612 Staphylococcus aureus isolates evaluated for their antibiotic resistances, 947 ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 Genomic and immunologic surveillance mechanisms are crucial in protection from cancer. The tumor suppressor protein p53, encoded by TP53, is a major regulator of genome surveillance. Among the natural sequence variants of TP53, rs1042522 (R72P) ... Read more...
