Spontaneous spinning of a magnet levitating over a superconductor (2003)
A permanent magnet levitating over a superconductor is found to spontaneously spin, overcoming resistance to air friction. We explain the physics behind this remarkable effect.
Low-dose subcutaneous erythropoietin corrects the anaemia of renal transplant failure (1992)
Jindal, K. K., Hirsch, D. J., Belitsky, P., Whalen, M. A.
Although erythropoietin (Epo) is known to correct anaemia in dialysis and pre-dialysis patients, there is limited experience with its use in immunosuppressed patients suffering from chronic renal...
Late Leaks in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients (1991)
A series of eight patients with leakage of dialysate around the exit site of their peritoneal dialysis catheters is reviewed. In all cases the leak occurred at least 1 month after catheter placement....
Death from Dialysis Termination (1989)
The only detailed analysis of dialysis termination by viable patients was reported by Neu and Kjellstrand (N Engl J Med 1986; 314: 14–20) from the USA. We analysed a similar series from Halifax,...

The endogenous formation of nitric oxide (NO) has become an area of intense interest as evidence for its biological functions has been obtained in three distinct tissues: circulating macrophages, in...
In vitro activity of tosufloxacin (A-61827; T-3262) against selected genital pathogens.
Segreti, J, Hirsch, D J, Harris, A A, Kapell, K S, Orbach, H, Kessler, H A
The in vitro activity of tosufloxacin (A-61827; T-3262) against 15 clinical isolates of Chlamydia trachomatis and 31 recent clinical isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, including 15...

Calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) pools have been demonstrated in brain and heart microsomes biochemically and autoradiographically by the sensitivity of 45Ca2+ accumulation to Mg2+, ATP,...

Photodynamic tumor therapy: mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptors as a therapeutic target.
Verma, A., Facchina, S. L., Hirsch, D. J., Song, S. Y., Dillahey, L. F., Williams, J. R., ...
BACKGROUND: Photodynamic therapy employs photosensitive agents such as porphyrins to treat a variety of tumors accessible to light-emitting probes. This approach capitalizes on the selective...
