An exceptionally bright flare from SGR 1806–20 and the origins of short-duration γ-ray bursts
Soft-γ-ray repeaters (SGRs) are galactic X-ray stars that emit numerous short-duration (about 0.1 s) bursts of hard X-rays during sporadic active periods. They are thought to be magnetars: strongly magnetized ...

Phase I and pharmacokinetics studies of prochlorperazine 2-h i.v. infusion as a doxorubicin-efflux blocker
In an earlier phase I study, we reported that the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of prochlorperazine (PCZ) given as a 15-min i.v. infusion was 75 mg/m2. The highest peak plasma PCZ concentration achieved was 1100 n...
