Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: natural history and long term treatment effects

Marc Asher; Douglas Burton (BioMedCentral, 2008-12-31)

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a lifetime, probably systemic condition of unknown cause, resulting in a spinal curve or curves of ten degrees or more in about 2.5% of most populations. However, in only about 0.25% does ...
Regional variability in use of a novel assessment of thoracolumbar spine fractures: United States versus international surgeons

John Ratliff; Neel Anand; Alexander Vaccaro; Moe Lim; Joon Lee; Paul Arnold; James Harrop; Raja Rampersaud; Christopher Bono; Ralf Gahr; Trauma Study Group Spine (BioMedCentral, 2007-07-09)

BACKGROUND:Considerable variability exists in clinical approaches to thoracolumbar fractures. Controversy in evaluation and nomenclature contribute to this confusion, with significant differences found between physicians, ...
Quantification of human bocavirus in lower respiratory tract infections in China

Feng Lin; Aiping Zeng; Ningmin Yang; Haiyan Lin; En Yang; Shengqi Wang; David Pintel; Jianming Qiu (BioMedCentral, 2007-06-28)

A quantitative PCR method was established to quantify human bocavirus (HBoV) genomic copies in clinical specimens from children with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in China. A total of 257 respiratory tract ...
Elevated maternal lipoprotein (a) and neonatal renal vein thrombosis: a case report

Vivek Subbiah; Prabhu Parimi (BioMedCentral, 2007-07-12)

INTRODUCTION:Renal vein thrombosis, although rare in adults, is well recognized in neonates and is one of the most common manifestations of neonatal thromboembolic events. The etiology of renal vein thrombosis remains ...
R-CHOP versus R-CVP in the treatment of follicular lymphoma: a meta-analysis and critical appraisal of current literature

Ganguly Siddhartha; Patel Vijay (BioMedCentral, 2008-05-30)

PURPOSE:R-CHOP (rituximab with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone) and R-CVP (rituximab with cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisone) have both been used successfully in the treatment of patients ...
Testicular trauma resulting in shock and systemic inflammatory response syndrome: a case report

Kingsley Okonkwo; Kristin Wong; Cheng Cho; Lisa Gilmer (BioMedCentral, 2009-04-20)

INTRODUCTION:Acute painful scrotum in children may be associated with torsion of the testis, hematocele, epididymitis and direct testicular injury with hematoma formation. More frequently, however, acute scrotum occurs ...
Mammographic density does not correlate with Ki-67 expression or cytomorphology in benign breast cells obtained by random periareolar fine needle aspiration from women at high risk for breast cancer

Qamar Khan; Bruce Kimler; Anne O'Dea; Carola Zalles; Priyanka Sharma; Carol Fabian (BioMedCentral, 2008-11-05)

BACKGROUND:Ki-67 expression is a possible risk biomarker and is currently being used as a response biomarker in chemoprevention trials. Mammographic breast density is a risk biomarker and is also being used as a response ...
Cooling and hemodynamic management in heatstroke: practical recommendations

Abderrezak Bouchama; Mohammed Dehbi; Enrique Chaves-Carballo (BioMedCentral, 2007-05-12)

INTRODUCTION:Although rapid cooling and management of circulatory failure are crucial to the prevention of irreversible tissue damage and death in heatstroke, the evidence supporting the optimal cooling method and hemodynamic ...
Reporting quality of randomized trials in the diet and exercise literature for weight loss

Cheryl Gibson; Erik Kirk; James LeCheminant; Bruce Bailey; Guoyuan Huang; Joseph Donnelly (BioMedCentral, 2007-09-12)

BACKGROUND:To adequately assess individual studies and synthesize quantitative research on weight loss studies, transparent reporting of data is required. The authors examined the reporting quality of randomized trials in ...

Oxana Norkina; Rolf Graf; Philippe Appenzeller; Robert De Lisle (BioMedCentral, 2008-08-26)

BACKGROUND:The cystic fibrosis (CF) mouse pancreas has constitutively elevated expression of the Reg/PAP cell stress genes (60-fold greater Reg3a, and 10-fold greater PAP/Reg3ß and Reg3?). These genes are suggested to be ...
