      Effects of hofmeister anions on DPPC langmuir monolayers at the air-water interface 

      Aroti, Andria; Leontidis, Epameinondas; Maltseva, E.; Brezesinski, G. (2004)
      In this work we investigated the effect of sodium salts of different monovalent anions belonging to the Hofmeister series on Langmuir monolayers of DPPC (1,2-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine). The salts used were NaCl, NaBr, ...

      Glufosfamide administered using a 1-hour infusion given as first-line treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer. A phase II trial of the EORTC-new drug development group 

      Briassoulis, E. Ch; Pavlidis, Nicholas; Terret, C.; Bauer, J.; Fiedler, W.; Schöffski, P.; Raoul, J. L.; Hess, D.; Selvais, R.; Lacombe, D.; Bachmann, P.; Fumoleau, P. (2003)
      The activity of glufosfamide (β-D-glucopyranosyl-N,N′ -di-(2-chloroethyl)-phosphoric acid diamide) against pancreatic cancer was investigated in a multicentre, phase II clinical study. Chemotherapy-naïve patients with ...

      The ion-lipid battle for hydration water and interfacial sites at soft-matter interfaces 

      Leontidis, Epameinondas; Christoforou, Maria; Georgiou, Christiana A.; Delclos, Thomas (2014)
      At charged surfaces "bound" ions reduce the repulsive electrostatic forces, while dissociated ions control the osmotic pressure in colloidal systems. For systems charged through ionic adsorption on the other hand, the ...

      Trabectedin-related rhabdomyolysis: An uncommon but fatal toxicity 

      Stoyianni, A.; Kapodistrias, N.; Kampletsas, E. O.; Pentheroudakis, George; Pavlidis, Nicholas (2011)
      Rhabdomyolysis is defined as the dissolution of striped muscle characterized by the leakage of intracellular muscle components into the circulation, which can ultimately lead to renal failure with a possible fatal outcome. ...
