Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei (2009)

Valtonen, M. J., Mikkola, S., Merritt, D., Gopakumar, A., Lehto, H. J., Hyvönen, T., ...

Supermassive black holes are common in centers of galaxies. Among the active galaxies, quasars are the most extreme, and their black hole masses range as high as to $6\cdot 10^{10} M_\odot$. Binary...

ABSTRACTS (2009)

Abdelwahab, A., Gardner, M., Parkash, R., Basta, M., Sapp, J., Veltmann, C., ...

Introduction: Scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) is often unmappable. Data regarding the outcomes of ablation for mappable vs unmappable VT are lacking. Methods: Catheter ablation of...

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) protects the brain against experimental stroke by preventing complement-mediated neuronal cell death (2007)

Arumugam, T. V, Tang, S. C, Lathia, J. D, Cheng, A, Mughal, M. R, Chigurupati, S, ...

Stroke is among the three leading causes of death worldwide and the most frequent cause of permanent disability. Brain ischemia induces an inflammatory response involving activated complement...

QT dispersion does not predict early ventricular fibrillation after acute myocardial infarction (1995)

Leitch, J, Basta, M, Dobson, A.

Ventricular arrhythmias may be associated with increased QT dispersion (difference between maximum and minimum QT on standard 12-lead ECG). We performed a case control study to determine if QT...

Sensitive receptor-specified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for Escherichia coli verocytotoxin.

Basta, M, Karmali, M, Lingwood, C

The specific identification of verocytotoxin (VT)-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) requires the detection of VTs in bacterial culture filtrates or the detection of genes encoding these toxins in...

High-dose intravenous immunoglobulin exerts its beneficial effect in patients with dermatomyositis by blocking endomysial deposition of activated complement fragments.

Basta, M, Dalakas, M C

In patients with dermatomyositis (DM) the earliest lesion is microvasculopathy mediated by deposition of C5b-C9 membranolytic attack complex (MAC) on intramuscular capillaries. This leads...

Mechanism of therapeutic effect of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin. Attenuation of acute, complement-dependent immune damage in a guinea pig model.

Basta, M, Kirshbom, P, Frank, M M, Fries, L F

Studies were performed in in vitro and in vivo models to assess the effect of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) on the development of acute complement-mediated tissue damage. IVIG significantly...

Inheritance of acute appendicitis: familial aggregation and evidence of polygenic transmission.

Basta, M, Morton, N E, Mulvihill, J J, Radovanović, Z, Radojicić, C, Marinković, D

We explored familiality as well as the heritability and possible mode(s) of inheritance of acute appendicitis in childhood and early adolescence. Our case-control study showed that a positive family...

Effect of phenylephrine infusion on atrial electrophysiological properties.

Leitch, J. W., Basta, M., Fletcher, P. J.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of changes in autonomic tone induced by phenylephrine infusion on atrial refractoriness and conduction. DESIGN: Left and right atrial electrophysiological...
