Research Interests:

	Oxyhemoglobin concentration in calf muscle after venous occlusion. Oxyhemoglobin was measured with near-infrared spectrophotometry in a healthy subject (upper) and a subject with peripheral vascular disease (lower).

Use of ACE inhibitors to maintain arteriovenous graft patency. Nocturnal dialysis. Homocysteine Study (HOST).  Acute renal failure (intensive versus conventional VA ATN Trial).
