226 Couldwell, William T.Cranioplasty with the Medpor porous polyethylene Flexblock implantThe authors describe the use of a porous polyethylene Flexblock implant for cosmetic cranioplasty. The implant may be used to cover any small- or medium-sized (< 8 cm) cranial defect, offering similar cosmetic results to standard alloplast cranioplasty while decreasing operation time. The porous i...Cranioplasty; Medpor; Alloplast; Polyethylene; Skull defect1994
227 Couldwell, William T.Interpositional dural graft technique for the treatment of dural arteriovenous fistulasDural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are acquired direct arteriovenous shunts that often drain into the dural venous sinus.

232 Couldwell, William T.Posterior fossa brain tumors and arterial hypertensionHypertension caused by arterial compression of the rostral ventrolateral medulla is well described. Much less information is available on the association between neurogenic hypertension and posterior fossa brain tumors. To date, multiple reports have supported the impression that a small subpopulat...Posterior fossa tumors; Brain stem; Arterial hypertension; Essential hypertension; EHTN2006
233 Creel, Donnell J.; Leventhal, Audie G.Retinal projections in tyrosinase-negative albino catsRetinal projections were examined in two tyrosinase-negative albino cats using autoradiographic techniques. Cats from this colony have pink eyes; their retinal pigment epithelium, ciliary body, and iris epithelium are completely devoid of melanin pigment. Test breeding for five generations indicates...Cats; Albinism; Vision; Autoradiography; Retina1982-07
234 Varner, Michael W.; Porter T. FlintRisk of preterm birth across generations.OBJECTIVE: To examine the risk of preterm birth for mothers who themselves were born before term. METHODS: Data were taken from a linked data base of birth certificates composed of two cohorts: 1) a parental cohort of women born between 1947 and 1957 and 2) their offspring born between 1970 and 1992...Preterm mothers; Pregnancy; Premature; Risk1997-07

236 Dailey, Andrew T.Guideline update for the performance of fusion procedures for degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. Part 8: Lumbar fusion for disc herniation and radiculopathyPatients suffering from a lumbar herniated disc will typically present with signs and symptoms consistent with radiculopathy. They may also have low-back pain, however, and the source of this pain is less certain, as it may be from the degenerative process that led to the herniation. The surgical al...2014-01-01

239 Schmidt, Meic H.Titanium cage-assisted polymethylmethacrylate reconstruction for cervical spinal metastasisReconstruction and stabilization of the cervical spine after vertebrectomy is an important goal in the surgical management of spinal metastasis. The authors describe their reconstruction technique using a titanium cage-Silastic tube construct injected with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) augmented by...Titanium cage; Cervical spine; Cervical spinal metastasis; Reconstruction; Vertebrectomy; PMMA reconstruction; Silastic tube2005
240 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
241 Schmidt, Meic H.Minimally invasive thoracoscopic resection of paraspinal neurogenic tumors: technical case reportOBJECTIVE: The posterior mediastinum is a common location for benign neurogenic tumors. They are frequently asymptomatic but can present with local compressive or neurological symptoms. METHODS: Thoracoscopy is used increasingly over posterolateral thoracotomy for the removal of these lesions. RES...2008-01-01
242 Dailey, Andrew T.Sciatic nerve sarcoidosis: utility of magnetic resonance peripheral nerve imaging and treatment with radiation therapySarcoidosis may involve both the central and peripheral nervous system, although peripheral nerve manifestations are usually seen late in the disease. In this report, the authors describe a case of sarcoidosis in a 22-year-old woman who presented with a foot drop. Although results of conventional lu...Peripheral nerve imaging; Radiation therapy2004
243 Varner, Michael W.Cerebral vasculopathies masquerading as eclampsia.Obstetricians know that preeclampsia-eclampsia is a syndrome and is a final common pathway for multiple causes. It is also possible that other conditions, not always directly related to pregnancy, can mimic preeclampsia-eclampsia. One such entity is cerebral vasculopathy, an entity characterized b...Cerebrovascular Disorders; Eclampsia; Puerperal Disorders2006-02
244 Couldwell, William T.Glioma invasionA characteristic pathological feature of malignant glioma cells is their ability to extensively invade surrounding brain parenchyma-particularly along white matter tracts- thus rendering focal therapies incapable of controlling tumor growth and resulting in inevitable recurrence. In this regard, ...2001
