Greene, Tom, Cahoy, Kerri, Guyon, Olivier, Kasting, James, Marley, Mark, Meyer, Michael, ...

Significant advances in the discovery and characterization of the planetary systems of nearby stars can be accomplished with a moderate aperture high performance coronagraphic space mission that...

Associations of resting heart rate with insulin resistance, cardiovascular events and mortality in chronic kidney disease (2009)

Beddhu, Srinivasan, Nigwekar, Sagar U., Ma, Xilulian, Greene, Tom

Background. Insulin resistance is associated with increased sympathetic and reduced parasympathetic activity. Resting heart rate reflects autonomic activity. Therefore, we examined the associations...

Special Feature Surrogate End Points for Clinical Trials of Kidney Disease Progression (2008)

Lesley A. Stevens, Tom Greene, Andrew S. Levey

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) worsens over time by transitions through a sequence of stages, regardless of the specific cause of kidney damage or rate of progression (Figure 1). Recent guidelines and...

High Resolution Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of FUors and FUor-like stars (2008)

Greene, Tom, Aspin, Colin, Reipurth, Bo

We present new high resolution (R=18,000) near-infrared spectroscopic observations of a sample of classical FU Orionis stars (FUors) and other young stars with FUor characteristics that are sources...

First results from MIRI verification model testing (2008)

Lim, Tanya, Alvarez, Jose L., Bauwens, Eva, Garcia Bedregal, Alejandro, Blommaert, Joris, Dannerbauer, Helmut, ...

The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is one of the three scientific instruments to fly on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which is due for launch in 2013. MIRI contains two sub-instruments, an...

Dosing intermittent haemodialysis in the intensive care unit patient with acute renal failure--estimation of urea removal and evidence for the regional blood flow model (2008)

Kanagasundaram, Nigel S., Greene, Tom, Larive, Armand B., Daugirdas, John T., Depner, Thomas A., Paganini, Emil P., ...

Background. Blood-side dosing methods may overestimate urea removal in comparison to dialysate-side measurements during intermittent HD (IHD) for acute renal failure (ARF). The present study sought...

Effects of sulodexide in patients with type 2 diabetes and persistent albuminuria (2008)

Heerspink, Hiddo Lambers, Greene, Tom, Lewis, Julia B., Raz, Itamar, Rohde, Richard D., Hunsicker, Lawrence G., ...

Background. Urinary albumin excretion frequently persists in diabetic patients who are treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB). Sulodexide,...

Self-reported appetite, hospitalization and death in haemodialysis patients: findings from the Hemodialysis (HEMO) Study (2005)

Burrowes, Jerrilynn D., Larive, Brett, Chertow, Glenn M., Cockram, David B., Dwyer, Johanna T., Greene, Tom, ...

Background. Anorexia is an important cause of protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) in haemodialysis patients. We investigated whether self-reported appetite was associated with death and hospitalization...

Burrowes, Jerrilynn D., Larive, Brett, Chertow, Glenn M., Cockram, David B., Dwyer, Johanna T., Greene, Tom, ...

Background. Anorexia is an important cause of protein–energy malnutrition (PEM) in haemodialysis patients. We investigated whether self-reported appetite was associated with death and...

Low-Level Environmental Lead Exposure and Children’s Intellectual Function: An International Pooled Analysis

Lanphear, Bruce P., Hornung, Richard, Khoury, Jane, Yolton, Kimberly, Baghurst, Peter, Bellinger, David C., ...

Lead is a confirmed neurotoxin, but questions remain about lead-associated intellectual deficits at blood lead levels < 10 μg/dL and whether lower exposures are, for a given change in exposure,...

Design and Statistical Aspects of the African American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK)

Gassman, Jennifer J., Greene, Tom, Wright, Jackson T., Agodoa, Lawrence, Bakris, George, Beck, Gerald J., ...
