651 Couldwell, William T.Malignant glioma-derived soluble factors regulate proliferation of normal adult human astrocytesMalignant gliomas are characteristically surrounded by marked gliosis. To assess whether glioma-derived products contribute to the proliferation of astrocytes, a feature of the gliosis response, we evaluated the influence of culture supernatants from malignant human glioma lines and tumor cyst fluid...Astrocyte; Glioma; Gliosis; Proliferation; Soluble factors1992
652 Couldwell, William T.Man for all seasons: W.W. KeenWILLIAM WILLIAMS KEEN was the catalyst for the advent of neurosurgery in the United States. He served in the Civil War and collaborated with Silas Weir Mitchell in studying injuries sustained to the nervous system. These studies culminated in the publication in 1864 of Gunshot Wounds and Other Inj...Brain tumor2002
653 Schmidt, Meic H.Management of brain abscesses associated with halo fixationHalo orthoses are commonly used in the management of a variety of cervical spinal pathological conditions. Although placement of the cranial pins was initially believed to be safe with minimal complications, minor complications related to the cranial pins have the potential to create a setting for ...Cerebral abscess; Cranial pin; Halo orthosis; Halo fixation; Inner table of skull2008
654 Couldwell, William T.Management of cysticercosis cerebriInfestation of the central nervous system (CNS) with the parasitic larval form of the cestode Taenia solium, Cysticercosis Cerebri represents an endemic problem in much of the underdeveloped world. In such areas, up to 4% of the population maybe affected by neurocysticercosis, and it accounts for u...Taenia solium; Cysticercosis Cerebri; Parenchymal cyst; Basilar cisternal cyst; Intraventricular cyst1989
655 Bisson, Erica F.Management of distraction injury of the lumbosacral junction with unilateral perched facetBackground: Traumatic unilateral facet dislocation without fracture is an uncommon injury of the lumbosacral junction. We describe a case of a unilateral perched L5-S1 facet causing axial back pain and radiculopathy provoked by motion. ...Spine surgery, Facet dislocation, operative management, trauma, neurosurgery2011-01-04
656 Couldwell, William T.Management of meningiomas involving the transverse or sigmoid sinusMeningiomas that invade the transverse or sigmoid sinuses are uncommon tumors that are challenging to treat surgically. Although the risk of recurrence is associated with the extent of resection, complete removal of meningiomas in these locations must be balanced with avoidance of venous outflow obs...2013-01-01
657 Couldwell, William T.Management of pituitary adenomasWe present an overview of the management of pituitary adenomas, with discussions of microanatomy, of diagnostic studies of general neuroendocrine function, and of radiologic evaluation. We discuss the diagnosis of pituitary adenoma and its treatment with sections on null cell, prolactin (PRL)-secre...Pituitary adenoma; Transsphenoidal surgery; Corticotropin; Prolactin; Growth hormone; Transcranial surgery1994
658 Kestle, John R. W.Management of shunt infections: a multicenter pilot studyObject. Approximately 10% of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt operations are associated with infection and require removal or externalization of the shunt, in-hospital treatment with antibiotic agents, and insertion of a new shunt. In a previous survey, the authors identified substantial variation i...Shunt infections; Ventriculoperitoneal shunt; Treatment evaluation2006
659 Kestle, John R. W.; MacDonald, Joel D.; Schmidt, Richard H.Marked reduction of cerebral vasospasm with lumbar drainage of cerebrospinal fluid after subarachnoid hemorrhageObject. Cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) continues to be a major source of morbidity in patients despite significant clinical and basic science research. Efforts to prevent vasospasm by removing spasmogens from the subarachnoid space have produced mixed results. The authors hyp...Cerebral vasospasm; Lumbar drainage2004
660 Margraf, Rebecca L.; Mao, Rong; Highsmith, W. Edward; Holtegaard, Leonard; Wittwer, Carl T.Masking selected sequence variation by incorporating mismatches into melting analysis probesHybridization probe melting analysis can be complicated by the presence of sequence variations (benign polymorphisms or other mutations) near the targeted mutation. We investigated the use of 'masking' probes to differentiate alleles with similar probe melting temperatures. Selected sequence variati...probe hybridization; high-resolution melting analysis; masking; RET2005-06-28
661 Margraf, Rebecca L.; Mao, Rong; Wittwer, Carl T.Masking techniques: masking selected sequence variation by incorporating mismatches into melting analysis probesHybridization probe melting analysis can be complicated by the presence of sequence variation (non-pathogenic polymorphisms or other mutations) near the targeted mutation. We investigated the use of 'masking' probes to differentiate alleles with similar probe melting temperatures. Materials and Meth...probe hybridization; high-resolution melting analysis; masking; RET2005-10-21

663 Varner, Michael W.Maternal mortality in Utah.OBJECTIVE: To determine trends in maternal deaths in Utah, identify opportunities for preventive intervention, and analyze the mechanism of reporting maternal deaths. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of maternal death certificates and medical records in Utah from January 1, 1982, throug...Maternal Death; Utah; Pregnancy; Trauma; Pulmonary Emboliam; Maternal Cardiac Disease1998-02
664 Olson, Randall J.Mathematical description of causative factors and prevention of elevated intraocular pressure after keratoplastyIn keratoplasty with grafts the same size as the recipient bed, tight sutures and thick recipient corneal periphery distort the angle and may collapse the filtering meshwork. This can cause very high postoperative pressures, which can be avoided by the use of donor grafts larger than the recipient b...Keratoplasty; Trabecular Collapse; Angle Disrottion; Elevated Pressure; Aphakia; Mathematics1977-12

669 Fu, YingbinMechanism of reductive activation of potato tuber ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase.The potato tuber (Solanum tuberosum L.) ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase activity is activated by a incubation with ADP-glucose and dithiothreitol or by ATP, glucose- 1-phosphate, Ca2+, and dithiothreitol.
