| kidney transplantation at the university of maryland. | 1. the number of kidney transplants performed at the university of maryland increased yearly from 51 in 1991 to 285 in 1998. over the past 3 years, the increase in the number of kidney transplants can be ascribed almost exclusively to a marked increase in living donor transplants, from 49 cases in 1995 to 130 cases in 1998; a 160% increase. the increase in our frequency of living-donor kidney transplantation can be attributed to a formal family education program and the availability of the lapar ... | 1998 | 10503096 |
| psychosocial risk factors in the developmental of infectious mononucleosis. | in a 4-year prospective seroepidemiological study of infectious mononucleosis (im) of one class of some 1400 cadets at the west point military academy, susceptibles and immunes were identified by the absence or presence of antibody to epstein-barr virus (ebv), the causative agent, and new infections by the appearance of antibody (seroconversion). on entry, about 1/3 lacked ebv antibody, of whom some 20% became infected (seroconverted); about 1/4 of seroconverters developed definite, clinical and ... | 1979 | 231279 |
| a nested case-control study of non-hodgkin lymphoma and serum organochlorine residues. | the steady worldwide increase in the incidence of non-hodgkin lymphoma during the past few decades remains mostly unexplained. several studies suggest that there may be an association between the agricultural use of the organochlorine 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2'bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (ddt) and increased risk of non-hodgkin lymphoma. we have investigated the association between risk of non-hodgkin lymphoma and body burden of selected organochlorines in the general population in a nested case-control ... | 1997 | 9242800 |
| nodular lymphocyte-predominant hodgkin lymphoma with atypical t cells: a morphologic variant mimicking peripheral t-cell lymphoma. | nodular lymphocyte-predominant hodgkin lymphoma (nlphl) is a distinct hodgkin lymphoma subtype composed of few neoplastic lymphocyte-predominant (lp) cells in a background of reactive small b and t cells. we have seen occasional nlphl cases that contain background t cells with prominent cytologic atypia, raising the differential diagnosis of peripheral t-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (ptcl-nos) or a composite lymphoma. we sought to characterize the clinicopathologic features of such case ... | 2011 | 21997687 |
