AbstractNeonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is a clinical syndrome that resembles hemolytic disease of the newborn, affecting the platelets only. The thrombocytopenia results from the maternal alloantibodies reacting with specific human platelet antigens (HPAs) on the fetal platelets. Forty‐four maternal plasma samples were screened ...... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of Testing Position on the Reliability of Hip Extensor Strength Measured by a Handheld DynamometerThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences - Tập 25 - Trang 126-132 - 2009

Hip extensors belong to an important muscle group that controls standing, walking and other functional activities. The prone position (PP) is commonly used to measure the strength of the hip extensors; however, the reliability of such measurements is poor. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different testing positions, that is, the PP and the prone...... hiện toàn bộ

Germ cell tumors occur mostly in the gonad. Extragonadal germ cell tumors are rare, and most occur in the retroperitoneum and mediastinum. Primary mediastinal germ cell tumors are often found in the anterior portion of the mediastinum and include teratomas and non‐teratomatous tumors. Non‐teratomatous tumors include seminomas and malignant non‐seminomatous germ cell...... hiện toàn bộ
Synthesis and Cytotoxicity of 1,6,8,9‐Substituted α‐Carboline DerivativesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences - Tập 26 - Trang 593-602 - 2010

α‐Carboline (pyrido[2,3‐b]indole) was selected as the basic scaffold for development of antileukemic agents by structural modification. From the structure‐activity study, it was found that sequential introduction of 6‐acetyl and 9‐substituted benzyl groups onto an α‐Carboline scaffold resulted in 6‐acetyl‐9‐(3,5‐dimethoxybenzyl)‐9... hiện toàn bộ
Effect on Spasticity After Performance of Dynamic‐Repeated‐Passive Ankle Joint Motion Exercise in Chronic Stroke PatientsThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences - Tập 22 - Trang 610-617 - 2006
