Low-potassium and glucose-free dialysis maintains urea but enhances potassium removal (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The influence of potassium (K) removal on dialysis efficiency as measured by urea elimination is not clear. In this prospective, randomized, cross-over study we investigated the magnitude

Emergence of FY*A(null) in a <em>Plasmodium vivax</em>-endemic region of Papua New Guinea (Publications)
In Papua New Guinea (PNG), numerous blood group polymorphisms and hemoglobinopathies characterize the human population. Human genetic polymorphisms of this nature are common in malarious regions, and
The stem region of premembrane protein plays an important role in the virus surface protein rearrangement during dengue maturation (Publications)
Newly assembled dengue viruses (DENV) undergo maturation to become infectious particles. The maturation process involves major rearrangement of virus surface premembrane (prM) and envelope (E) protein
