Anatomic compression caused by high-volume convection-enhanced delivery to the brain.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Our group has pioneered the use of gadoteridol-loaded liposomes (GDLs) in convection-enhanced delivery (CED) using real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to visualize the distribution of therapeutic agents in nonhuman primate and ... Read more...

In vivo remodeling of intervertebral discs in response to short- and long-term dynamic compression.

30 Aug 2009 This study evaluated how dynamic compression induced changes in gene expression, tissue composition, and structural properties of the intervertebral disc using a rat tail model. We hypothesized that daily exposure to dynamic compression for short ... Read more...

Simvastatin improves wound strength after intestinal anastomosis in the rat.

2 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Simvastatin is a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor commonly known as a cholesterol-lowering drug with additional pleiotropic effects. Also, it is demonstrated that it prevents postoperative peritoneal adhesions in ... Read more...
