Varner, Michael W.; Clark, Edward B.; Fernando, Kumari L.; Mathews, V. John | Robust estimation of fetal heart rate variability using Doppler ultrasound. | This paper presents a new measure of heart rate variability (HRV) that can be estimated using Doppler ultrasound techniques and is robust to variations in the angle of incidence of the ultrasound beam and the measurement noise. This measure employs the multiple signal characterization (MUSIC) algori... | Prenatal Ultrasonography; Fetal Heart Rate; Blood Flow Velocity; Algorithms | 2003-08 |

Frederick, Jeanne M.; Thulin, Craig; Bernstein, Paul S. | Identification and characterization of a Pi isoform of glutathione S-transferase (GSTP1) as a zeaxanthin-binding protein in the macula of the human eye | Uptake, metabolism, and stabilization of xanthophyll carotenoids in the retina are thought to be mediated by specific xanthophyll-binding proteins (XBPs). A membrane-associated XBP was purified from human macula using ion-exchange chromatography followed by gel-exclusion chromatography.

Varner, Michael W. | Cerebral vasculopathies masquerading as eclampsia. | Obstetricians know that preeclampsia-eclampsia is a syndrome and is a final common pathway for multiple causes. It is also possible that other conditions, not always directly related to pregnancy, can mimic preeclampsia-eclampsia. One such entity is cerebral vasculopathy, an entity characterized b... | Cerebrovascular Disorders; Eclampsia; Puerperal Disorders | 2006-02 |
