5 Francis, LeslieEminent domain compensation in the Western states: a critique of the fair market value modelBoth the United States Constitution and the constitutions of the states of the intermountain west and the Pacific Coast prohibit the state from taking property without paying just compensation. Thus, there are two basic issues in any eminent domain case. First, has governmental interference with pro...Eminent domain; Compensation; Governmental interference; Fair Market Value2006-06-16
6 Couldwell, William T.Medical and surgical management of microprolactinomaA recent report by Colao et al. [1] indicates that a significant proportion of patients harboring prolactinomas treated with cabergoline will have persistence of remission of hyperprolactinemia following withdrawal of the drug.

9 Varner, Michael W.; Jackson, G. MarcSevere pulmonary hypertension in pregnancy following successful repair of ventricular septal defect in childhood.BACKGROUND: Because of advances in surgical repair, an increasing number of women born with structural cardiac disease now live to reproductive age. Patients treated successfully in childhood are followed for varying periods of time, then may be lost to follow-up or told that no follow-up is necessa...Pregnancy Complications, Cardiovascular; Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular; Hypertension, Pulmonary1993-10
10 Schmidt, Meic H.Thoracoscopic debridement and stabilization of pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitisThe role of surgical debridement and internal fixation in treatment of vertebral osteomyelitis has been evolving.

11 Cloud, Joann L.; Meyer, Jay J.; Pounder, June I.; Woods, Gail L.Mycobacterium arupense sp. nov., a novel moderately growing nonchromogenic bacterium isolated from clinical specimensThis author manuscript discusses how several isolates of Mycobacterium species related to the M. terrae complex have been isolated from clinical samples. In the clinical microbiology laboratory, partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing (approximate first 500 base pairs) is often used to identify Mycobacteri...Mycobacterium arupense; Mycobacterium nonchromogenicum; Mycobacterium terrae; Mycobacterium triviale; MCRO 62005-11-22
12 Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas LeeEvaluation of the necessity of postoperative imaging after craniosynostosis surgeryObject. Childhood radiation exposure increases the lifetime risk of cancer from an estimated 0.07 to 0.35%. Neurological evaluation of patients after cranial vault reconstruction for synostosis repair is often complicated by pain medication, sedation, intubation, swelling, and dressings; therefore c...Computed tomography; Cranial vault reconstruction; Pediatric neurosurgery; Radiation dose; Postoperative imaging2007
13 Varner, Michael W.hPL: physiologic and pathophysiologic observations.Serum human placental lactogen (hPL) levels were studied in 806 women in late pregnancy. The hPL levels were positively correlated with birth weight but were unrelated to maternal age, parity, socioeconomic status, or the sex of the newborn. The hPL levels peaked at 37 weeks' gestation and then decl...hPL; Pregnancy Complications; Pregnancy, Multiple; Infant, Newborn; Birth Weight1979-08
14 Mongia, Shella K.; Rawlins, Mindy, L.; Owen, William E.; Roberts, William L.Performance characteristics of seven automated CA125 assaysAuthor manuscript. Cancer antigen 125 (CA125) is a high molecular mass glycoprotien, which is used as tumor marker to monitor disease progression, response to therapy and in early detection of recurrence after treatment for ovarian cancer.

15 Erickson, J. Alan; Smith, Jeffrey, J.; Bornhorst, Joshua A.; Ashwood, Edward R.Humananti-mouse antibody protected ELISA for the quantification of squamous cell carcinoma antigenSquamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) was first isolated from squamous cell carcinoma tissue of the uterine cervix and initially reported as TA-4. The antigen has been characterized as a glycoprotein with a molecular weight between 45,000 and 55,000 daltons. Studies suggest that SCC may function as ...SCC; Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen; BSA; PBS; Phosphate Buffered Saline; HAMA; Human Anti-mouse Antibodies; IIR; ImmunoglobulinInhibiting Reagent2005-12-09
16 Kestle, John R. W.Ventriculoperitoneal shunts in children: indications, equipment and techniquesThe decision to implant a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in a child with ventriculomegaly should not be taken lightly. Once a shunt has been implanted, it is very difficult to determine that it is no longer necessary, and therefore the initial decision is very important. Sometimes the need is obvious, s...2008
17 Couldwell, William T.Porous polyethylene implant for cranioplasty and skull base reconstructionObject. Cranial reconstruction after skull base surgery is important for restoration of function and cosmesis. The authors describe their experience with the Medpor porous polyethylene implant for cosmetic cranioplasty and reconstruction after skull base surgery. Methods. Medpor, a biocompatible i...2004
18 Digre, Kathleen B.; Kleinschmidt, Julia J.; Hanover, RitaIdiopathic intracranial hypertension. Relationship to depression, anxiety, and quality of lifeOBJECTIVE: To explore the incidence of depression and anxiety and to measure quality of life in women with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a matched group cross-sectional study was conducted.
