An Evaluation of Image-Guided Technologies in the Placement of Anterior Thoracic Vertebral Body Screws in Spinal Trauma: A Cadaver Study Open
Spinal image-guidance systems may allow spine surgeons to place anterior thoracic screws more precisely, particularly in the axial plane. The improved accuracy of spinal implant insertion could ultimately provide a benefit to patient safet…

Kinetic Evaluation of Positron-Emitting Muscarinic Receptor Ligands Employing Direct Intracarotid Injection Open
The development and characterization of new receptor ligands for in vivo binding assays are often both lengthy and expensive. It is therefore desirable to predict the suitability of a ligand early in the process of its evaluation. In the p…

Endothelium dependency of contractile activity differs in infant and adult vertebral arteries. Open
Contractions to serotonin (5-HT) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in infant (0-2 yr) and adult (38-71 yr) vertebral arteries were examined in the presence of either the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin or NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), an …
