Transposition rates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns

Eilers P.H.C.; Van Soolingen D.; Lan N.T.N.; Warren R.M.; Borgdorff M.W. (2004)

To determine the rate at which IS1160 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns in Mycobacterium tuberculosis change over time, we applied a smooth nonparametric survival model to several data sets, including ...

Hoarding in obsessive-compulsive disorder: Clinical and genetic correlates

Lochner C.; Kinnear C.J.; Hemmings S.M.J.; Seller C.; Niehaus D.J.H.; Knowles J.A.; Daniels W.; Moolman-Smook J.C.; Seedat S.; Stein D.J. (2005)

Objective: Hoarding may be an important symptom dimension in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Hoarding in OCD has been associated with poor insight, poorer response to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors than other ...

Outcome of children treated for cancer in the republic of Namibia

Wessels G.; Hesseling P.B. (1996)

The data of a survey undertaken to record all cases of childhood cancer in Namibia from 1983 to 1988 were analyzed to estimate 5-year survival rates. The projected survival rate for 150 children with cancer was 37% with ...

Are Polymorphic Markers within the α-1-Antitrypsin Gene Associated with Risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Disease?

Hayes V.M.; Gardiner-Garden M. (2003)

We sought to determine whether variants of the human α-1-antitrypsin (AAT) gene, also known as "PI," or "SERPINA1," are associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in 2 African-based populations from ...
