Comparison of two different anti-infectious approaches after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation for hematologic malignancies in a 12-year period in British Hospital, Uruguay.

Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is a widely used and safe procedure to treat mostly hematologic diseases. These patients are at risk of infectious complications, which represents a major cause of morbidity and it is the second cause of mortality. This retrospective 12-year analysis of the incidence, type, and severity of infections in 266 consecutive unselected ASCT patients at our institution provides novel information addressing this issue.

On the local order of amorphous LaMoO.

The amorphous reduction product of the oxide ion conductor LaMoO was previously shown to be a good, sulphur-tolerant, anode material for solid oxide fuel cell devices (X. C. Lu, J.

Anomalous X-ray diffraction study of Pr-substituted BaCeO3 - δ.

The effect of Pr doping on the crystal structure and site occupancy was studied for the nominally synthesized BaCe1 - xPrxO3 - δ (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.

Thermodynamic stability of La2Mo2-yWyO9, La2Mo2-yWyO8.96+0.02y and La7Mo7(2-y)/2W7y/2O30 (y = 0, 0.5 and 1.0).

The role of W content on the limit oxygen partial pressure (pO2) for stability of fast oxygen-ion conductors La2Mo2-yWyO9 with y = 0, 0.5 and 1.0 has been studied by means of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) under controlled atmospheres.

Thermodynamic stability, structural and electrical characterization of mixed ionic and electronic conductor La2Mo2O(8.96).

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) technique in controlled oxygen partial pressure (pO(2)) atmospheres has been used to obtain equilibrium oxygen content data as a function of pO(2) on the La(2)Mo(2)O(9-δ) system resulting from the partial reduction of fast oxide-ion conductor La(2)Mo(2)O(9) (LM). Thermodynamic conditions for stabilization of crystalline La(7)Mo(7)O(30) and amorphous La(2)Mo(2)O(7-y) at 718 °C have been determined and discussed. At 608 °C, the compound reported for the first time La(2)Mo(2)O(8.
