Digre, Kathleen B.; Gouw, Launce G.; Harris, Catherine P.; Haines, John H.; Ptacek, L.J. | Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia with retinal degeneration: clinical, neuropathologic, and genetic analysis of a large kindred. | The autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias (ADCA) comprise a heterogeneous group of neurologic disorders characterized by degeneration of the cerebellum, spinal cord, and brainstem. Genetic analysis has revealed two loci, SCA1 on chromosome 6p, and SCA2 on chromosome 12q, responsible for some ADCA. W... | Retinal Degeneration; Cerebellar Ataxia; Genetic Analysis | 1994-08 |

Thomas, Kirk R. | Cytochrome P450 2B diversity and dietary novelty in the herbivorous, desert woodrat (Neotoma lepida) | Detoxification enzymes play a key role in plant-herbivore interactions, contributing to the on-going evolution of ecosystem functional diversity. Mammalian detoxification systems have been well studied by the medical and pharmacological industries to understand human drug metabolism; however, little... | 2012-01-01 | |

Thomas, Kirk R.; Capecchi, Mario R. | Maintenance of functional equivalence during paralogous Hox gene evolution. | Biological diversity is driven mainly by gene duplication followed by mutation and selection. This divergence in either regulatory or protein-coding sequences can result in quite different biological functions for even closely related genes. This concept is exemplified by the mammalian Hox gene comp... | Alleles; Animals; Cervical Vertebrae; Embryo; Genetic Complementation Test; Homeodomain Proteins; Homozygote; Mice | 2000-02-10 |

Kriesel, John D.; Spruance, Spotswood L. | Treatment of herpes simplex labialis. | Recurrent herpes simplex labialis is associated with mild morbidity, but remains a significant problem for people with frequent and/or severe recurrences. Both topical and peroral episodic antiviral treatments of recurrences are modestly effective at reducing the duration of signs and symptoms. Rece... | Randomized Controlled Trials; Steroids; Drug Administration Routes | 2002 |

Kriesel, John D.; Spruance, Spotswood L.; Daynes, Raymond A. | Nucleic acid vaccine encoding gD2 protects mice from herpes simplex virus type 2 disease. | Nucleic acid vaccinations with plasmids pWW65, containing the sequence for herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2) gD2, and pRSVnt, lacking the gD sequence, were studied. Groups of mice were immunized with pWW65 alone, pWW65 plus 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D3 (D3), or pRSVnt. Clinical disease (vaginitis), serum an... | Mice, Inbred BALB C; Plasmids; Viral Vaccines | 1996 |

Francis, Leslie | Recent developments in genetic diagnosis: some ethical and legal implications | This essay outlines some of the ethical complexities genetic technology poses in two areas of decision-making: when to perform genetic testing and what to do with the information gained from genetic testing. | Genetic Technology; Genetic Testing; Ethics | 1986 |

Battin, Margaret P. | Age-rationing and the just distribution of health care: Is there a duty to die? | The author analyzes the argument that a policy involving distributive justice in the allocation of scarce health care resources, based on the strategy of rational self interest maximation under a veil of ignorance (Rawls/Daniels), would result in an age rationing system of voluntary, socially encour... | Health care providers; Death; Euthanasia | 1987-01 |

Kriesel, John D.; Maulden, Sarah Annamarie; Spruance, Spotswood L. | Anti-interleukin-6 antibodies inhibit herpes simplex virus reactivation. | Herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) infect epithelial cells, become localized in neurons, and can reactivate in response to a variety of stimuli, including ultraviolet light and hyperthermia. The sequence of gene activation during viral replication is known, but the molecular linkage between exogenous sti... | Mice, Inbred BALB C; Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha; Virus Activation | 1997 |

Francis, Leslie | Roles of the family in making health care decisions for incompetent patients | This article is about the roles of the family in making health care decisions for incompetent patients. It argues that complex moral reasons call for the participation of families in decision making for incompetents. However, these moral reasons do not support a single model of the family's role for... | Family; Health Care Decisions; Patients; Family Rights | 2006-06-16 |
