Kestle, John R. W. | Potentially useful outcome measures for clinical research in pediatric neurosurgery | The choice of outcome (or outcomes) and their measurement are critical for a sound clinical trial. Surgeons have traditionally measured simple outcomes such as death, duration of survival, or tumor recurrence but have recently developed more sophisticated measures of the effect of an intervention. M... | Pediatric neurosurgery | 2005 |

Kestle, John R. W. | Multicenter prospective cohort study of the Strata valve for the management of hydrocephalus in pediatric patients | Object. Previous reports suggest that adjustable valves may improve the survival of cerebrospinal fluid shunts or relieve shunt-related symptoms. To evaluate these claims, the authors conducted a prospective multicenter cohort study of children who underwent placement of Strata valves. Methods. Pat... | Ventriculoperitoneal shunt; Strata valve; Adjustable valves; Pediatric neurosurgery | 2005 |

Gesteland, Raymond F.; Baranov, Pavel V.; Atkins, John F.; Hammer, Andrew W. | Transcriptional slippage in bacteria: distribution in sequenced genomes and utilization in IS element gene expression | ABSTRACT: Background: Transcription slippage occurs on certain patterns of repeat mononucleotides, resulting in synthesis of a heterogeneous population of mRNAs. Individual mRNA molecules within this population differ in the number of nucleotides they contain that are not specified by the templat... | Transcription slippage; Bacterial genomes; IS element genes | 2005 |

Couldwell, William T. | Rathke cleft cyst intracystic nodule: a characteristic magnetic resonance imaging finding | Object. The fluid content of Rathke cleft cysts (RCCs) displays variable appearances on magnetic resonance (MR) images and can appear indistinguishable from other intrasellar or suprasellar cystic lesions. Intracystic nodules associated with individual RCCs have been noted, but to date their signifi... | 2005 | |

Potts, Wayne K. | Relationship of virulence factor expression to evolved virulence in mouse-passaged Cryptococcus neoformans lines | Serial passage of Cryptococcus neoformans in mice increases virulence relative to the nonpassaged line. Postpassaged lines showed no difference in the expression of most known virulence factors, with the exception that the more virulent lines had smaller capsules in vitro. These data imply that othe... | Capsule; Death; Passage | 2005 |
