Transfusion strategies for patients in pediatric intensive care units (2007)
Lacroix, J., Hébert, P.C., Hutchison, J.S., Hume, H.A., Tucci, M., Ducruet, T., ...
Background: The optimal hemoglobin threshold for erythrocyte transfusions in critically ill children is unknown. We hypothesized that a restrictive transfusion strategy of using packed red cells that...
Caresta, E., Pierro, A., Chowdhury, M., Peters, M.J., Eaton, S.
During sepsis in adults, fat becomes a preferred fuel; however, oxidation may be impaired relative to the circulating fatty acid levels. Little is known about the ability of infants and children to...
Platelet and soluble CD40L in meningococcal sepsis (2006)
Inwald, D.P., Faust, S.N., Lister, P., Peters, M.J., Levin, M., Heyderman, R., ...
OBJECTIVE: To determine the influence of meningococcal sepsis on levels of platelet derived CD40L and on endothelial CD40 expression. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective observational study in two...
Optimization of a Third-Order Gradiometer for Operation in Unshielded Environments (2005)
Uzunbajakau, S.A., Rijpma, A.P., Peters, M.J.
The optimum geometry of a third-order gradiometer for operation in unshielded environments is discussed. The optimization result depends on the specific signal and noise conditions. The fetal heart...
Inwald, D.P., McDowall, A., Peters, M.J., Callard, R.E., Klein, N.J.
CD40 is a 48-kDa phosphorylated transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the TNF receptor superfamily. CD40 has been demonstrated on a range of cell types, and it has an important role in adaptive...
Magnetic Flux Fluctuations Due to Eddy Currents and Thermal Noise in Metallic Disks (2003)
Uzunbajakau, S., Rijpma, A.P., Dolfsma, J., Krooshoop, H.J.G., Peters, M.J., ...
We derive expressions for the magnetic flux in a circular loop due to eddy currents and thermal noise in coaxial metallic disks. The eddy currents are induced by an applied field that changes...
Multicentre study of fetal cardiac time intervals using magnetocardiography (2002)
Stinstra, J., Golbach, E., Leeuwen Van, P., Lange, S., Menendez, T., Moshage, W., ...
Objective: A database with reference values of the durations of the various waveforms in a magnetocardiogram of fetuses in uncomplicated pregnancies is assessed. This database will be of help to...
Clinical implications of fetal magnetocardiography (2002)
Quartero, H.W.P., Stinstra, J.G., Golbach, E.G.M., Meijboom, E.J., Peters, M.J.
Objectives To test the usefulness and reliability of fetal magnetocardiography as a diagnostic or screening tool, both for fetuses with arrhythmias as well as for fetuses with a congenital heart...
A sensitive magnetocardiograph for fetal surveillance (2001)
Uzunbajakau, S.A., Golbach, E.G.M., Stinstra, J.G., Peters, M.J.
To use fetal magnetocardiography for diagnostic purposes, it is important to know the requirements for the instrument. One of the questions to be answered is how sensitive the fetal...
The volume conductor may act as a temporal filter on the ECG and EEG (1998)
The influence of the volume conductor on the EEG, MEG, fetal ECG and fetal MCG is studied by means of simulations. The assumption that the Maxwell equations can be used in a quasi-static...
Inward continuation of the scalp potential distribution by means of the (vector) BEM (1998)
Burik Van, M.J., Mulder, M.C., Stinstra, J.G., Peters, M.J.
The vector Boundary Element Method (vBEM) is used for the calculation of a matrix that links the tangential components of the current density on the cortical and scalp surface. This so-called...
Information criteria determine the number of active sources (1996)
Knosche, T.R., Berends, E.M., Jagers, H.R.A., Peters, M.J.
With the neuroelectromagnetic inverse problem, the optimal choice of the number of sources is a difficult problem, especially in the presence of correlated noise. In this paper we present a number of...
A fast method to compute the potential in the multisphere model (1993)
A series expansion is derived for the potential distribution, caused by a dipole source in a multilayered sphere with piecewise constant conductivity. When the radial coordinate of the source...
Evaluation of surgical resident applicants using simulated patients
Ramsey, Don, DaRosa, Debra A., Finch, Tyree, Konrad, Ron, Birtch, Alan, Peters, M. J., ...
Kotowicz, K, Dixon, G L J, Klein, N J, Peters, M J, Callard, R E
The expression of adhesion molecules on vascular endothelial cells determines the pattern of migration and extravasation of leucocytes in inflammation and immunity. Here we show that costimulation...
