Relationship between otitis media and temporal bone pneumatization [abstract]
(2010)
Chronic otitis media, or middle ear inflammation, is correlated with reduced pneumatization of the temporal bone. It is unclear whether the chronic otitis media causes reductions in the size of the air cell system, or if ...
Measurement of mechanical properties in aging skin [abstract]
(2010)
Several molecular and structural changes, occurring as a result of intrinsic change and extrinsic damage, are seen in aging skin. The most pronounced transformations seen are vascular atrophy, decreased collagen and elastic ...
Outcomes in patients sustaining complex periarticular fracture-dislocations of the elbow [abstract]
(2010)
Periarticular fracture-dislocations (dislocations associated with one or more fractures) of the elbow are difficult injuries to treat. They have historically been associated with poor treatment strategies which resulted ...
Modeling peritoneal metastases of ovarian cancer [abstract]
(2010)
The majority of women with ovarian cancer (EOC) are diagnosed with disseminated ip metastasis leading to a poor prognosis. Ovarian cancer is the most deadly gynecological cancer in the US due primarily to late diagnosis ...
Midline facial microsomia : a case report [abstract]
(2010)
Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a severe congenital malformation in which the facial skeleton shows aplasia or hypoplasia of the midline bones from the sphenoid and ethmoid down to the premaxillary bone. HPE was originally ...
Metastatic cholangiocarcinoma presenting as pseudo-Mirizzi Syndrome : a case report [abstract]
(2010)
A rare consequence of cholelithiasis is Mirizzi Syndrome, which is the obstruction of the common hepatic duct (CHD) secondary to cystic duct stone impaction. We report a case of metastatic cholangiocarcinoma in which imaging ...
Patient satisfaction and anxiety with informed consent delivered through informational video compared to the traditional physician interview [abstract]
(2010)
Objective: 1. To evaluate patient satisfaction and anxiety towards informed consent with traditional physician interview compared to combination of watching an informational video and patient-specific physician interview. ...
Predictors of tonsillectomy after previous adenoidectomy for upper airway obstruction [abstract]
(2010)
One of the main indications for adenotonsillectomy in children is upper airway obstruction, including obstructive sleep apnea. Previous research has suggested an increased risk for requiring subsequent tonsillectomy when ...
Retinal redox stress and ultrastructural remodeling in metabolic syndrome and diabetic retinopathy [abstract]
(2010)
Diabetic retinopathy is the major cause of blindness in the United States in the age group from 20-74. There are four traditional metabolic pathways involved in the development of diabetic retinopathy: increased polyol ...
Metabolic rhythms in haplorhine and strepsirrhine primates [abstract]
(2010)
Microstructural evidence from teeth and bone has recently been used to support the hypothesis that growth, metabolism, and reproduction - i.e., life history - are centrally regulated by a neuroendocrine rhythm known as the ...
SAHA : FDA approved histone deacetylase inhibitor demonstrates exceptionally high inhibition of corneal haze following PRK surgery in rabbit model [abstract]
(2010)
TGF[beta] induces the transformation of corneal keratocytes into fibroblasts and myofibroblasts resulting in the formation of corneal haze (scar) following injury. We investigated whether epigenetic modifications can prevent ...
Second rib curvature in apes and humans and implications for the evolution of thoracic shape in early hominins [abstract]
(2010)
Thoracic form in humans is often described as "barrel-shaped" with a broad upper rib cage, a condition different from great apes, who have a "cone-shaped" thorax and narrower upper rib cage. The earliest Australopithecus ...
RT-PCR on magnetically sorted B-cell subsets from pediatric bone marrow [abstract]
(2010)
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of lymphoblasts which have been arrested in an early stage of B-cell differentiation. A key obstacle in identifying biomarkers of malignant ...
Reversal of CNS autoimmunity by induction of oral tolerance to brain antigens mediated by antigen presenting cells of the lamina propria [abstract]
(2010)
The phenomenon of oral tolerance is important for inducing non-reactivity to food borne antigens and commensal organisms by the immune system. In this study we have devised a method to induce tolerance to an auto-antigen, ...
Therapeutic letters : effects on nursing students and recipients [abstract]
(2010)
Therapeutic letter writing (TLW) is a well known strategy in counseling and therapy. However, its effectiveness as an educational tool in undergraduate nursing programs has not been studied. The authors conducted a qualitative ...
Solitary fibrous tumors of the nasal cavity [abstract]
(2010)
Solitary fibrous tumors are rare mesenchymal-derived neoplasms that are derived from serosal membranes, most commonly from pleural origin. However, a wide variety of extraplural locations have been described. Twenty-two ...
Anatomy, histology, and ontogeny of the sesamoid cartilage in the jaw muscles of the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) [abstract]
(2010)
The cartilago transiliens is a characteristic cartilaginous nodule inside crocodilian jaw muscles. Encased by a fibrous sheath, the cartilago transiliens lies between the pterygoid buttress and the mandible, providing ...
Hip structure and locomotion in ambulatory and cursorial carnivores reinvestigated [abstract]
(2010)
Understanding how the femoral head articulates with the acetabulum of the pelvis should allow one to infer the pattern of hip mobility in living and fossil species. In 1977, Jenkins and Camazine analyzed cineradiographic ...
Sleep deprivation causes epigenetic changes in the basal forebrain [abstract]
(2010)
Today's work pressure has lead people to curtail their sleep. However, all of the consequences of sleep deprivation are not clear. Histone acetylation is a key epigenetic mechanism responsible for controlling gene expression. ...
The effects of the interaction of animals with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and their families [abstract]
(2010)
The CDC estimates that one in 110 children receive a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) annually. Pet dogs have been found to be a social catalyst and service dogs have demonstrated measurable benefits for children ...
