The results were robust to other adjustment sets, and the estimated effect of primaquine increased
Improved characterization of visual evoked potentials in multiple sclerosis by topographic analysis (Publications)
(204 electrodes) and topographic analysis (tVEP). VEPs were analyzed in 83 MS patients (median EDSS 2.0; 52 % with history of optic neuritis; hON) and 47 healthy controls (HC). TVEP components were automatically [...] characteristics curves. In tVEP, reliability tended to be higher for measurement of amplitude (p = 0.06). Regression models on diagnosis (MS vs. HC) and hON were more favorable using tVEP- versus cVEP

Arginine and lysine transporters are essential for <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> (Publications)
AAAP (amino acid/auxin permease) family. TbAAT5-3 showed high affinity arginine uptake (Km 3.6 +/- 0.4 muM) and high selectivity for L-arginine. L-arginine transport was reduced by a 10-times excess of [...] ornithine did not reduce arginine uptake rates significantly. TbAAT16-1 is a high affinity (Km 4.3 +/- 0.5 muM) and highly selective L-lysine transporter and of the compounds tested, only L-lysine and thialysine
