(2006-06-30)Purpose: To see if locking compression T-plates applied dorsally are stiffer and/or stronger than dorsal non-locking T-plates on a dorsally comminuted distal radius fracture model. Locking plates are thought to have ...
-
(2006-06-30)Trunk rotational strength asymmetry has been suggested in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (IS). This finding has yet to be confirmed against a group of healthy adolescents. This study compares the isometric trunk ...
-
(2006-06-30)Background: Epileptic patients take multiple antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) which have been shown to increase the risk of bone fractures. Few studies have investigated the affects of AED monotherapy. Objective: To assess the ...
-
(2006-06-30)Junctional kyphosis may be a common finding in patients that undergo spinal instrumentation and fusion since there is an abrupt transition between fixed and mobile spinal segments. This excess motion may occur at either ...
-
(2006-06-30)The role of proprioception in skill acquisition is unclear. Current theories of motor control postulate a role for proprioceptive feedback early in the development of a skill, i.e. cognitive and associative phases of ...
-
(2006-06-30)Reliable and comparable biomechanical testing of total ankle replacement (TAR) systems can only be accomplished with an accurate standardized simulation of ankle mechanics. Information about the kinetics and forces ...
-
(2006-06-30)Mounting evidence demonstrates that sleep plays an important role in learning a new motor skill. However, receiving explicit knowledge of the skill prior to learning may influence the beneficial role of sleep in the ...
-
(2006-06-30)Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an inflammation of the liver, usually found in conjunction with Type II diabetes, and results in fibrosis and a buildup of fatty acids. A current mouse model of this disease combines ...
-
(2006-06-30)Introduction: Alzheimer disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive memory loss and dementia. Associated structural brain changes include generalized cortical atrophy, widening of surface ...
-
(2006-06-30)ZIP4 and ZIP5 belong to the Zrt-Irt-like proteins (SLC39A) family of metal ion transporters. Mutations in hZIP4 cause acrodermatitis enteropathica, which reflects an inability to absorb adequate zinc. ZIP5 is a close ...
-
(2006-06-30)The pathogenesis underlying peripheral nerve damage remains unclear. Recent microarray studies in our lab investigating dorsal root ganglia (DRG) gene alterations in diabetic neuropathy (DN) reveal that a novel gene, ...
-
(2006-06-30)Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of memory loss in the world today. Non-invasive neuroimaging techniques have been explored to help diagnose and perhaps predict AD before the onset of symptoms. ...
-
(2006-06-30)The perpetual state of hyperglycemia existing in diabetes can permanently damage peripheral nerves, resulting in diabetic neuropathy (DN). The most common long-term complication of diabetes, DN causes reductions in ...
-
(2006-06-30)Following bilateral injection of manganese (Mn) into the rat’s motor cortex, electrical stimulation of the cortex is shown to increase the transport, uptake and accumulation of Mn in the corticospinal tract (CST), as ...
-
(2006-06-30)Nerve injury resulting from trauma frequently leads to loss of function due to neuronal degeneration and cell death. The molecular mechanisms involved in neuronal cell death are poorly understood, but are thought to ...
-
(2006-06-30)Introduction: Hypothermia can result in deleterious physiologic consequences, especially in burn patients, which are at higher risk due to loss of skin. Intra-and post-operative hypothermia (<36C) was identified as an audit ...
-
(2006-07-05)Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) is an arachidonic acid metabolite that is released during tissue trauma and elicits platelet aggregation and vascular smooth muscle contraction. Previous research has shown that TXA2 stimulates pulmonary ...
-
(2006-07-05)Exercise training benefits skeletal muscle glucose homeostasis in diabetes. However the benefit of exercise training on the diabetic cardiac muscle function is not clear. In this study we tested the hypothesis that ...
-
(2006-07-05)Purpose: Transverse plane pelvic rotation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). In vitro, transverse plane pelvic rotation can be determined by a ratio of the radiographic ...
-
(2006-07-05)We know little about what play materials preschool-aged children prefer to play with and what factors lead them to prefer particular toys. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential relationship between ...
