α1 ANTITRYPSIN (AAT) ACTIVITY IN DEVELOPMENT OF BRONCHOPULMONARY DYSPLASIA (BPD)
Some of the toxic side effects of oxygen therapy are indirectly attributable to the release of proteases including elastases from PMNs. These may contribute to the pathogenesis of BPD. AAT inhibits elastases a...

SERUM PROLACTIN IN INTRAVENTRICULAR HEMORRHAGE (IVH)
Prolactin has been thought to play a role in preventing mobilization of tissue water in the neonate. Serum levels of prolactin are low in premature newborns and this may lead to decreased intracellular water, ...

Open AccessLoss of chromosome 10 is an independent prognostic factor in high-grade gliomas
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for chromosome 10 is the most frequent genetic abnormality observed in high-grade gliomas. We have used fluorescent microsatellite markers to examine a series of 83 patients, 34 wi...

Open AccessEarly evaluation of tumour metabolic response using [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose and positron emission tomography:a pilot study following the phase II chemotherapy schedule for temozolomide in recurrent high-grade gliomas
Quantitation of metabolic changes in tumours may provide an objective measure of clinical and subclinical response to anticancer therapy. This pilot study assesses the value of quantitation of metabolic rate o...

Open AccessPerformance of the ATLAS detector using first collision data
More than half a million minimum-bias events of LHC collision data were collected by the ATLAS experiment in December 2009 at centre-of-mass energies of 0.9 TeV and 2.36 TeV. This paper reports on studies of t...

Article
Open AccessReadiness of the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter for LHC collisions
The Tile hadronic calorimeter of the ATLAS detector has undergone extensive testing in the experimental hall since its installation in late 2005. The readout, control and calibration systems have been fully op...

Article
Open AccessThe ATLAS Simulation Infrastructure
The simulation software for the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is being used for large-scale production of events on the LHC Computing Grid. This simulation requires many components, from the ge...

Article
Open AccessThe ATLAS Inner Detector commissioning and calibration
The ATLAS Inner Detector is a composite tracking system consisting of silicon pixels, silicon strips and straw tubes in a 2 T magnetic field. Its installation was completed in August 2008 and the detector took...

Article
Open AccessCommissioning of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer with cosmic rays
The ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider has collected several hundred million cosmic ray events during 2008 and 2009. These data were used to commission the Muon Spectrometer and to study the performan...

Open AccessDrift Time Measurement in the ATLAS Liquid Argon Electromagnetic Calorimeter using Cosmic Muons
The ionization signals in the liquid argon of the ATLAS electromagnetic calorimeter are studied in detail using cosmic muons. In particular, the drift time of the ionization electrons is measured and used to a...

Article
Open AccessReadiness of the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter for LHC collisions
The ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter has been operating continuously since August 2006. At this time, only part of the calorimeter was readout, but since the beginning of 2008, all calorimeter cells have been co...
