LC-MS-MS analysis of brodifacoum isomers in rat tissue
(Oxford University Press, 2016-05)Brodifacoum (BDF) is a second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide structurally related to warfarin but containing two chiral centers. Highly stable, BDF can contaminate food and water supplies causing accidental poisoning ... -
Let-7 micro RNAs and opioid tolerance
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012-06-21)This chapter will focus on the role of microRNAs (miRs) in regulating the actions of opioid drugs through the opioid receptors. Opioids, such as morphine, are analgesics that are used for treating many forms of acute and ... -
Ligand efficiency indices for an effective mapping of chemico-biological space: the concept of an atlas-like representation
(Elsevier, 2010-08)We propose a numerical framework that permits an effective Atlas-like representation of Chemico-Biological Space (CBS) based on a series of Cartesian planes mapping the ligands with the corresponding targets connected by ... -

Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Expression of Microsomal Prostaglandin E Synthase-1 Mediates Late-Phase PGE2 Production in Bone Marrow Derived Macrophages
(Public Library of Science, 2012-11)Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression and release of prostaglandins (PGs) by macrophages are consistent features of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophage inflammation. The two major PGs, PGE(2) and PGD(2), are synthesized ... -
Listen carefully: The risk of error in spoken medication orders
(Elsevier, 2010-05)Clinicians and patients often confuse drug names that sound alike (Hicks, Becker, & Cousins, 2008). We conducted auditory perception experiments to assess the impact of similarity, familiarity, background noise and other ... -
Litsea Species as Potential Antiviral Plant Sources
(World Scientific Publishing, 2016-04)Litsea verticillata Hance (Lauraceae), a Chinese medicine used to treat swelling caused by injury or by snake bites, was the first plant identified by our National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded International Cooperative ... -

Mass Spectrometric Studies of KEAP1-NRF2 Binding Interactions
(2012-12-10)Chemoprevention is an active cancer preventive strategy to inhibit, delay or reverse human carcinogenesis using naturally occurring or synthetic chemical agents. In recent years, it has emerged as one of the major approaches ... -
Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Nrf2-Keap1 Chemoprevention Signaling Pathway
(2012-12-10)Chemoprevention is an active cancer preventive strategy to inhibit, delay or reverse human carcinogenesis using naturally occurring or synthetic chemical agents. Dietary natural products and diet-derived agents are potential ... -
Measuring Efficiency under Fixed Proportion Technologies
(Springer Verlag, 2011-06)Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) applications frequently involve nonsubstitutable inputs and nonsubstitutable outputs (that is, fixed proportion technologies). However, DEA theory requires substitutability. In this paper, ... -
Measuring Hospital Efficiency with Data Envelopment Analysis: Nonsubstitutable vs. Substitutable Inputs and Outputs
(Springer Verlag, 2009-12-15)There is a conflict between Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) theory’s requirement that inputs (outputs) be substitutable, and the ubiquitous use of nonsubstitutable inputs and outputs in DEA applications to hospitals. This ...
