Time to symptom resolution in young children treated for pulmonary tuberculosis.
Response to treatment may be useful for diagnostic confirmation of childhood tuberculosis (TB). We aimed to evaluate time to symptom resolution in children treated for pulmonary TB. We compared pulmonary TB cases and noncases, classified by a published diagnostic algorithm, in South African children younger than 2. TB ...

Percutaneous microwave ablation for liver tumours adjacent to the marginal angle.
This study was designed to describe the technical essentials of microwave ablation (MWA) for tumours adjacent to the liver marginal angle (LMA) and to determine the feasibility, safety and efficacy of this approach. A total of 22 patients with primary or metastatic liver tumours adjacent to the LMA were enrolled. There...

Composition-dependent photoluminescence intensity and prolonged recombination lifetime of perovskite CH3NH3PbBr(3-x)Cl(x) films.
Mixed halide perovskites CH3NH3PbBr3-xClx (x = 0.6-1.2) with different compositions of halogens exhibit drastically changed optical properties. In particular, the thin films prepared with these perovskites demonstrate extraordinary photoluminescence emission intensities and prolonged recombination lifetimes up to 446 n...

Investigating the physiological roles of low-efficiency D-mannonate and D-gluconate dehydratases in the enolase superfamily: pathways for the catabolism of L-gulonate and L-idonate.
The sequence/function space in the D-mannonate dehydratase subgroup (ManD) of the enolase superfamily was investigated to determine how enzymatic function diverges as sequence identity decreases [Wichelecki, D. J., et al. (2014) Biochemistry 53, 2722-2731]. That study revealed that members of the ManD subgroup vary in ...

Bidirectional citation searching to completion: an exploration of literature searching methods.
Literature reviews underpin the majority of research projects in the health sciences, and yet relatively little analysis has been published as to the most appropriate method to identify relevant literature, outside of specialist information journals.

The effects of epistaxis on health-related quality of life in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disease mainly characterized by epistaxis in more than 96% of patients. Recently, a validated questionnaire known as the HHT Epistaxis Severity Score (ESS) was developed. However, little is known about the relationship between epistaxis and quality of...

Minimally invasive esophagectomy for dysplastic Barrett's esophagus.

Kinetic resolution of 1,1'-biaryl-2,2'-diols and amino alcohols through NHC-catalyzed atroposelective acylation.
We present here a highly efficient NHC-catalyzed kinetic resolution of a wide range of 1,1'-biaryl-2,2'-diols and amino alcohols to provide them in uniformly ≥99% ee. This represents the first highly enantioselective catalytic acylation of axially chiral alcohols. The aldehyde backbone that is incorporated into the chi...
