1 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
2 Kestle, John R. W.Reduction of hemorrhage risk after stereotactic radiosurgery for cavernous malformationsThe benefits of radiosurgery for cavernous malformations are difficult to assess because of the unclear natural history of this vascular lesion, the inability to image malformation vessels, and the lack of an imaging technique that defines "cure." The authors selected for radiosurgery 47 patients w...Cavernous malformation; Gamma knife; Stereotactic radiosurgery1995
3 Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas LeeComplications of intracranial pressure monitoring in children with head traumaObject. Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring has become routine in the management of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Many surgeons prefer to use external ventricular drains (EVDs) over fiberoptic monitors to measure ICP because of the added benefit of cerebrospinal fluid drainage. The ...Head trauma; Ventriculostomy; External ventricular drain; Monitoring; Fiberoptic monitor2004
4 Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas LeeOutcomes after decompressive craniectomy for severe traumatic brain injury in childrenObject. Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often accompanied by early death due to transtentorial herniation. Decompressive craniectomy, performed alone or in conjunction with evacuation of the mass lesion, can reduce the incidence of raised intracranial pressure (ICP). In this paper the authors...Traumatic brain injury; Decompressive craniectomy; Pediatric neurosurgery2006
5 Sung, Younghoon; Kondo, Douglas Gavin; Jeong, Eun-Kee; Renshaw, Perry FranklinReview: magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies of pediatric major depressive disorderIntroduction. This paper focuses on the application of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) to the study of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in children and adolescents. Method. A literature search using the National Institutes of Health?s PubMed database was conducted to identify indexed peer-revie...2011
6 Kestle, John R. W.Reduction of transfusion rates in the surgical correction of sagittal synostosisObject. As public concern about the risks of blood transfusions increased in the mid-1990s, avoidance of transfusions became a goal of surgery for sagittal synostosis. This study was performed to confirm a hypothesized reduction in transfusion rates in recent years and to identify factors associated...Sagittal synostosis; Sagittal craniosynostosis; Craniectomy; Allogenic blood transfusion; Reduction2002
7 Fuhrmann, Sabine; Zhang, Jianmin; Vetter, Monica L.Investigation of Frizzled-5 during embryonic neural development in mouseCellular and tissue--tissue interactions regulate development of the central nervous system (CNS) and a paramount question is what is the nature of the signals involved in these interactions. The vertebrate eye represents an excellent and challenging CNS model because it contains multiple cell and ...Mouse; Eye; Optic cup; Morphogenesis; Retina; Lens; Wnt; Frizzled; Pituitary2008
8 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
9 Mitchell, Joyce A.Nanoinformatics: a new area of research in nanomedicineAbstract: Over a decade ago, nanotechnologists began research on applications of nanomaterials for medicine. This research has revealed a wide range of different challenges, as well as many opportunities. Some of these challenges are strongly related to informatics issues, dealing, for instance, wit...2012-01-01
