Physicians (ACCP) recommendations for critically ill patients and to evaluate the …

Water soluble 2‘-taxol poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) esters have been synthesized and shown
to function in vitro as prodrugs. However, in vivo experiments clearly establish that in order …

The retrovirus XMRV (xenotropic murine leukemia virus–related virus) has been detected in
human prostate tumors and in blood samples from patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, …

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) Kss1 has a dual role in regulating filamentous
(invasive) growth of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The stimulatory function of Kss1 …

CPT-11, also known as irinotecan, is a prodrug that is approved for the treatment of
advanced colorectal cancer. The active metabolite of CPT-11, SN38 (7-ethyl-10-hydroxy-…

A general methodology for synthesizing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) prodrugs of amino-containing
compounds has been developed and constitutes the basis for solubilization of …

Introduction Extubation failure has been associated with poor intensive care unit (ICU) and
hospital outcomes in tertiary care medical centers. Given the large proportion of critical care …

Mode locking features of single section quantum dash based lasers are investigated. Particular
interest is given to the static spectral phase profile determining the shape of the mode …

This paper reports on recent results on passively mode-locked InAs/InP quantum-dot-based
lasers. These low-dimensional structures have proved very attractive in improving most of …

Using an ecocultural framework, we investigated relations between parental academic
socialization (PAS) and adolescent motivation and achievement. Two‐hundred sixteen Mexican‐…
