Kerber, Richard A. | A genome-wide study replicates linkage of 3p22-24 to extreme longevity in humans and identifies possible additional loci | Background: Although there is abundant evidence that human longevity is heritable, efforts to map loci responsible for variation in human lifespan have had limited success. Methodology/Principal Findings: We identified individuals from a large multigenerational population database (the Utah Populati... | 2012-01-01 | |

Kestle, John R. W. | Abdominal binders | Sklar and colleagues2 describe their experience managing "over-shunting headaches" with an abdominal binder. Seventy children with over-shunting headaches complied with application of a binder for about 1 month. In 61 patients (87%), the headaches "greatly improved or went away." This headache relie... | 2012-01-01 | |

Light, Alan R. | Activation of Src family kinases in spinal microglia contributes to formalin-induced persistent pain state through p38 pathway | Protein tyrosine phosphorylation has been implicated in normal and pathological functions, such as cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. Recently, some studies have shown that Src family kinases (SFKs) were involved in neurological disorders and neuropathic pain states in which microgli... | 2012-01-01 | |

Litwin, Christine M. | Anti-tuberculosis IgG antibodies as a marker of active mycobacterium tuberculosis disease | Anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis IgG antibodies may aid in the diagnosis of active M. tuberculosis disease. We studied whether anti-M. tuberculosis IgG antibodies are elevated in active M. tuberculosis disease and assessed factors contributing to false positive and negative results. A retrospective s... | 2012-01-01 | |

Light, Alan R. | ASICs do not play a role in maintaining hyperalgesia induced by repeated intramuscular acid injections | Repeated intramuscular acid injections produce long-lasting mechanical hyperalgesia that depends on activation of ASICs. The present study investigated if pH-activated currents in sensory neurons innervating muscle were altered in response to repeated acid injections, and if blockade of ASICs revers... | 2012-01-01 | |

Schmidt, Meic H. | Cervical spine metastases: techniques for anterior reconstruction and stabilization | The surgical management of cervical spine metastases continues to evolve and improve. The authors provide an overview of the various techniques for anterior reconstruction and stabilization of the subaxial cervical spine after corpectomy for spinal metastases. Vertebral body reconstruction can be ac... | 2012-01-01 | |

Bisson, Erica F. | Computed tomography-based determination of a safe trajectory for placement of transarticular facet screws in the subaxial cervical spine: Clinical article | Object. Placement of transarticular facet screws is one option for stabilization of the subaxial cervical spine. Small clinical series and biomechanical data support their role as a substitute for other posterior stabilization techniques; however, the application of transarticular facet screws in th... | 2012-01-01 | |

Bisson, Erica F. | Cost effectiveness of subaxial fusion-lateral mass screws versus transarticular facet screws | As health care reform continues to evolve, demonstrating the cost effectiveness of spinal fusion procedures will be of critical value. Posterior subaxial cervical fusion with lateral mass screw and rod instrumentation is a wellestablished fixation technique. Subaxial transarticular facet fixation is... | 2012-01-01 | |

Thomas, Kirk R. | Cytochrome P450 2B diversity and dietary novelty in the herbivorous, desert woodrat (Neotoma lepida) | Detoxification enzymes play a key role in plant-herbivore interactions, contributing to the on-going evolution of ecosystem functional diversity. Mammalian detoxification systems have been well studied by the medical and pharmacological industries to understand human drug metabolism; however, little... | 2012-01-01 | |

Couldwell, William T. | Delayed vasospasm after removal of a skull base meningioma | Cerebral vasospasm is a well-known clinical entity associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury [1,2]. In rare instances, vasospasm has been reported to occur after tumor resections, more specifically, after skull base tumor removal [3-5]. We report a rare case of a patient pre... | 2012-01-01 | |

Moshirfar, Majid | Double-pass microkeratome technique for ultra-thin graft preparation in Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty | Endothelial keratoplasty is evolving with increased attention placed on the optical qualities of the posterior donor lenticule. In efforts to improve visual outcomes, the effects of the thickness, smoothness, and planar profile are being studied. This paper describes a double-pass microkeratome tech... | 2012-01-01 | |

Moshirfar, Majid | The effect of preoperative keratometry on visual outcomes after moderate myopic LASIK | The relationship between preoperative keratometry (K) and visual outcomes in laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) has been studied in high myopia and hyperopia, but not in moderate myopia. Rao et al report increased undercorrection in eyes with preoperative spherical equivalent (SE) of −1... | 2012-01-01 | |

Couldwell, William T. | Efficacy of clip-wrapping in treatment of complex pediatric aneurysms | Purpose: Pediatric aneurysms (PAs) are distinct from their adult counterparts with respect to typical location, aneurysm type, and known predisposing risk factors. Many strategies have been employed to treat PAs, but, although it has been used frequently in adults, clip-wrapping in pediatric patient... | 2012-01-01 | |

Madsen, Troy Edward | Emergency medicine resident anesthesia training in a private vs. academic setting | Airway management is an essential part of any Emergency Medicine (EM) training program. Academic centers typically provide training to many learners at various training levels in a number of medical specialties during anesthesiology rotations. This potentially creates competition for intubation proc... | 2012-01-01 | |

Fuhrmann, Sabine | Extraocular ectoderm triggers dorsal retinal fate during optic vesicle evagination in zebrafish | Dorsal retinal fate is established early in eye development, via expression of spatially restricted dorsal‐specific transcription factors in the optic vesicle; yet the events leading to initiation of dorsal fate are not clear. We hypothesized that induction of dorsal fate would require an extraocu... | 2012-01-01 | |

Couldwell, William T. | The frontotemporal (Pterional) approach: an historical perspective | The frontotemporal, so-called "pterional" approach has evolved with the contribution of many neurosurgeons over the past century. It has stood the test of time and been the most commonly used transcranial approach in neurosurgery. In its current form, drilling the sphenoid wing as far down as the su... | 2012-01-01 | |
