Macrophage infiltration in human non-small-cell lung cancer: the role of CC chemokines
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2000-04)
Bronchogenic carcinoma is the leading cause of malignancy-related mortality in the United States, with an overall 5-year survival rate of less than 15%. This aggressive behavior reflects, among other traits, the capacity ...
The incomplete infrastructure for interhospital patient transfer
(2012-08)
OBJECTIVE:
Interhospital transfer of critically ill patients is a common part of their care. This article sought to review the data on the current patterns of use of interhospital transfer and identify systematic barriers ...
PTEN Limits Alveolar Macrophage Function against Pseudomonas aeruginosa after Bone Marrow Transplantation
(American Thoracic Society, 2011)
Neighborhoods matter: a population-based study of provision of cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(Annals of Emergency Meidcine, 1999-10)
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Cardiorespiratory resuscitation (CPR) nonprovision-the failure of bystanders to provide CPR to cardiac arrest victims-remains a well-documented public health problem associated with significant mortality. ...
A methodology for identifying married couples in Medicare data: mortality, morbidity, and health care use among the married elderly
(Demography, 1998-11)
We describe a method for the development of cohorts of up to three quarters of the 14 million married couples aged 65 and over in the United States. The health care experiences, illness histories, and mortality of these ...
The murine CC chemokine, 6C-kine, inhibits tumor growth and angiogenesis in a human lung cancer SCID mouse model
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2001-01)
The recently described CC chemokine, 6C-kine, is unique in that it contains -six rather than the usual four conserved cysteines typical of this family. Furthermore, murine 6C-kine binds to one of the CXC chemokine receptors ...
Trends in the incidence of noncardiogenic acute respiratory failure: the role of race
(2012-05)
Objective—We sought to examine trends in the race-specific incidence of acute respiratory
failure in the United States. Design—Retrospective cohort study.
Setting—We used the National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) ...
Concurrent expression of procoagulant and plasminogen activator activities by rabbit alveolar macrophages in vitro: Opposite modulating effects of prostaglandin E2
(Elsevier, 1988-09-01)
We examined the effects of arachidonic acid metabolites on the simultaneous expression of procoagulant (PC) and plasminogen activator (PA) activities by rabbit alveolar macrophages. Incubation with lymphocyte-conditioned ...
