yperpolarized (hp) 129Xe and hp 83Kr for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are typically obtained through spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) in gas mixtures with dilute concentrations of the respective noble gas. The usage of dilute noble gases mix... Read More about Pathway to cryogen free production of hyperpolarized krypton-83 and xenon-129.

Objective Otitis media with effusion (OME), a common chronic childhood condition affecting hearing, is thought to be a result of bacterial infection, with biofilms recently implicated. Although bacterial DNA can be detected by polymerase chain react... Read More about Bacterial involvement in otitis media with effusion.

We have evaluated the potential of plasma albumin to provide a sensitive biomarker of exposure to commonly used organophosphorus pesticides in order to complement the widely used measure of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition. Rat or human plasma... Read More about Albumin binding as a potential biomarker of exposure to moderately low levels of organophosphorus pesticides.

The genotype distribution of the XRCC1 gene indicates a role for base excision repair in the development of therapy-related acute myeloblastic leukemia (2002)
Journal Article
Seedhouse, C., Bainton, R., Lewis, M., Harding, A., Russell, N., & Das-Gupta, E. (2002).

Blood, 100(10), 3761-3766. https://doi.org/10.1182/blood-2002-04-1152

Polymorphisms in several DNA repair genes have been described. These polymorphisms may affect DNA repair capacity and modulate cancer susceptibility by means of gene-environment interactions. We investigated DNA repair capacity and its association wi...
