Article Review / Estimating the Tumoral Half-life of
Fluorouracil : 5 page explication of a 1994 journal article in
which the authors assess the association of intratumoral
pharmacokinetics of fluorouracil with clinical response. Built
upon was existing research which had established that In-vivo
flouring-19 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMRS)
facilitates non-invasive, immediate, chemical identification of
distinct fluorinated compounds within tumors found in humans
after flouorouracil is given. The authors of the discussed study
employ kinetic measures of the drug administered as well as
metabolies to estimate the tumoral half-life of fluorouracil. No

Progress of Hepatitis : 3 page review of a Lancet article which
examines experimental uses of interferon as a treatment in cases
of chronic hepatitis C (clinically called 'Poynard') and also in
cases of HCV cirrhosis (clinically called 'Nishiguchi'). Full
bibliographic citation for the article is provided. Medicar2.wps

Contribution of Legionella pneumophilia’s Natural
Environment to its Pathogenesis Ability : A 6 page paper
discussing the manner in which this organism’s method of
survival in nature contributes to its pathogenicity. L.
pneumophilia is absolutely an aerobic bacterium. It favors the
environment of water where there is the presence also of metal,
such as water holding tanks, commercial cooling systems and
shower heads, which ultimately could be important in
determining its control through methods other than those
currently available. An intracellular organism, it is highly
adaptable to rapidly changing environmental conditions and
shows the greatest affinity for those human cells that most
closely match its preferred natural environment. Bibliography
lists 8 sources. Patho.wps

Determining Listeria monocytogenes Kill Curves : A 5 page
paper describing an experiment designed to result in kill curves
for Listeria monocytogenes in orange juice when treated with
heat. L. monocytogenes is a relatively rare but potentially
deadly food-borne contaminant and is resistant not only to heat,
acidity and salt treatment but also is known to thrive at low
temperatures that indicate that even refrigeration is not an
effective deterrent to its growth. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

the current literature and considers the impacts on treatment
procedures. This paper provides an overview of diagnosis, and
treatment options for one female subject. Bibliography lists 9
