Kestle, John R. W. | Change in ventricular size and effect of ventricular catheter placement in pediatric patients with shunted hydrocephalus | OBJECTIVE: The multicenter, randomized pediatric cerebrospinal fluid shunt valve design trial found no difference in the rate of shunt failure between a standard valve, a siphon-reducing valve (Delta; Medtronic PS Medical, Goleta, CA), and a flow-limiting valve (Orbis Sigma; Cordis, Miami, FL); ho... | Shunt failure; Valve design; Ventricular size; Ventricular catheter placement | 1999 |

Schmidt, Meic H. | Medical applications of space light-emitting diode technology-space station and beyond | Space light-emitting diode (LED) technology has provided medicine with a new tool capable of delivering light deep into tissues of the body, at wavelengths which are biologically optimal for cancer treatment and wound healing. This LED technology has already flown on Space Shuttle missions, and show... | Photodynamic therapy; Lutetium Texaphyrin; Lutex; Canine glioma | 1999 |

Dailey, Andrew T. | Modulation of macrophage and microglial responses to axonal injury in the peripheral and central nervous systems | OBJECTIVE: After axonal injury, macrophages rapidly infiltrate and become activated in the mammalian peripheral nervous system (PNS) but not the central nervous system (CNS). We used the dorsal root pathway to study factors that modulate the response of macrophages to degenerating axons in both the ... | Axonal injury; Macrophage response; Microglial response; Peripheral nervous system; Lewis rats | 1999 |

Couldwell, William T. | Prolactinomas: focus on indications, outcomes and management of recurrences | Although prolactinomas are discovered at autopsy with equal frequency in women and men, they present clinically in women far more often than in men. In children, "in whom they are the most common type of adenoma, prolactinomas are seen more often in girls than in boys. In a series of nearly 400 PRL... | Outcome; Pituitary adenoma; Prognosis; Prolactin; Transsphenoidal surgery | 1999 |
