Background: Little is known about mixed cellular and antibody-mediated rejection (MR) in heart transplantation.

Early-Onset Neutropenia in Small-for-Gestational-Age Infants.

Background: Early neutropenia is more common in small for gestational age (SGA) neonates (birth weight <10th percentile) than in appropriately grown neonates. However, several aspects of this variety of neutropenia are unknown, including the duration, kinetic mechanism, and outcomes.

Evaluation of two blood microsampling approaches for drug discovery PK studies in rats.

Background: Serial sampling in discovery rat PK studies could be performed via capillary microsampling (CMS) of blood or by using the Mitra™ device to collect dried blood samples.

Background: Although several studies have documented adverse outcomes for vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) colonization and infection in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients, data are inadequate for patients undergoing autologous (auto-)HSCT.

Stringent limits are set on the long-lived lepton-like sector of the phenomenological minimal supersymmetric standard model (pMSSM) and the anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking (AMSB) model.
