Acute-phase proteins and mortality in status epilepticus: a 5-year observational cohort study (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: Acute-phase proteins, such as C-reactive protein and albumin, may be related with course and outcome in status epilepticus, as changes of cytokine levels and blood-brain barrier breakdown d
Evaluation of four single-locus markers for <em>Leishmania</em> species discrimination by sequencing (Publications)
Several genetic markers have been described for discriminating Leishmania species. In most reported cases, one or a few polymorphisms are the basis of species identification, and the methods were vali
Serum vitamin E concentrations at 1 year and risk of atopy, atopic dermatitis, wheezing, and asthma in childhood: the PASTURE study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Prospective studies investigating the role of serum vitamin E concentrations during early life in the development of childhood allergies and asthma are limited. OBJECTIVE: To study the ass
Antitrypanosomal triterpenoid with an epsilon-lactone E-ring from <em>Salvia urmiensis</em> (Publications)
A new triterpenoid, urmiensolide (1), was isolated from Salvia urmiensis. The structure was elucidated by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, and X-ray crystallographic analyses. The absolute con
Antiprotozoal activity of dicationic 3,5-diphenylisoxazoles, there prodrugs and aza-analogues (Publications)
Fifty novel prodrugs and aza-analogues of 3,5-bis(4-amidinophenyl)isoxazole and its derivatives were prepared. Eighteen of the 24 aza-analogues exhibited IC50 values below 25nM against Trypanosoma bru
Mental health litaracy and the experience of depression in a community sample of gay men (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Gay men are at higher risk of suffering from a variety of psychiatric disorders, yet the mental health literacy of this population has remained largely unknown. METHODS: In 2007 and 2011,
Enantioselective synthesis of encecaline-derived potent antimalarial agents (Publications)
The high antiplasmodial activity of racemic benzylamines rac- and rac- stimulated the synthesis of pure enantiomers. Ellman's chiral sulfinamides (S)- and (R)- were used as chiral auxiliaries. Condens
