| 1 |  | Invasive sinonasal disease due to Scopulariopsis candida: case report and review of scopulariopsosis. | Kriesel, John D.; Gooch, Willis M.; Pavia, Andrew T. | Sinonasal infection with fungi of the order Mucorales--termed mucormycosis or zygomycosis--is sometimes seen in immunosuppressed patients, including those with diabetic ketoacidosis and malignancy. We describe a case of invasive sinonasal infection with Scopulariopsis candida (not among the Mucorale... | Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor; Itraconazole; Maxillary Sinus | 1994 |
| 2 |  | New locus for autosomal dominant stargardt-like disease maps to chromosome 4 | Zhang, Kang | Stargardt disease (STGD) is the most common hereditary macular dystrophy and is characterized by decreased central vision, atrophy of the macula and underlying retinal-pigment epithelium, and frequent presence of prominent flecks in the posterior pole of the retina. STGD is most commonly inherited a... | Haplotypes; Genetic Markers | 1999 |
| 3 |  | Nucleic acid vaccine encoding gD2 protects mice from herpes simplex virus type 2 disease. | Kriesel, John D.; Spruance, Spotswood L.; Daynes, Raymond A. | 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 |
| 4 |  | Identification and functional consequences of a new mutation (E155G) in the gene for GCAP1 that causes autosomal dominant cone dystrophy | Zhang, Kang | | | 2001 |
| 5 |  | Mutations in LRP5 or FZD4 underlie the common familial exudative vitreoretinopathy locus on chromosome 11q | Zhang, Kang; Yang, Zhenglin; Jiang, Li | Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is an inherited blinding disorder of the retinal vascular system. Autosomal dominant FEVR is genetically heterogeneous, but its principal locus, EVR1, is on chromosome 11q13-q23. The gene encoding the Wnt receptor frizzled-4 (FZD4) was recently reported ... | Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy; FEVR; Inherited blinding disorders | 2004 |
| 6 |  | Anti-interleukin-6 antibodies inhibit herpes simplex virus reactivation. | Kriesel, John D.; Maulden, Sarah Annamarie; Spruance, Spotswood L. | 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 |
| 7 |  | Outbreak of toxic anterior segment syndrome following cataract surgery associated with impurities in autoclave steam moisture. | Mamalis, Nick; Nilson, Christian D. | BACKGROUND: Toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS), a complication of cataract surgery, is a sterile inflammation of the anterior chamber of the eye. An outbreak of TASS was recognized at an outpatient surgical center and its affiliated hospital in December 2002. METHODS: Medical records of patients... | Toxic anterior segment syndrome; cataract surgery; autoclave steam moisture | 2006 |
