Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy successfully treated with mefloquine and literature review [PDF]
Encephalitis, 2021 Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is an opportunistic infection due to reactivation of John Cunningham virus (JCV). The diagnosis depends on evidence from clinical, imaging, and virologic studies.

The effect of sample size on field dependence of Jc for MgB2 superconductor [PDF]
Appl. Phys. Lett. 84, 3109 (2004), 2003 A strong effect of sample size on magnetic Jc(H) was observed for bulk MgB2 when Jc is obtained directly from the critical state model. Thus obtained zero-field Jc (Jc0) decreases strongly with the sample size, attaining a constant value for the samples larger than a few millimetres.

Copy Number Heterogeneity of JC Virus Standards [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2017 ABSTRACT Quantitative PCR is a diagnostic mainstay of clinical virology, and accurate quantitation of viral load among labs requires the use of international standards. However, the use of multiple passages of viral isolates to obtain sufficient material for international standards may result in genomic changes that complicate their use as ...
