The effect of a thoracic spinal block on fos expression in the lumbar spinal cord of the rat induced by a noxious electrical stimulus at the hindpaw.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Fos expression in the lumbar spinal cord, resulting from a noxious electrical stimulus at the hindpaw, is hypothesized to originate from three sources: direct sensory input of the noxious stimulus, local interactions in the spinal cord, ... Read more...

Skeletal health among African Americans with recent-onset rheumatoid arthritis.

13 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: African Americans with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may be at increased fracture risk. We applied the World Health Organization (WHO) Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) guidelines to a cohort of ... Read more...

Adult isthmic spondylolisthesis.

29 Sep 2009 Isthmic spondylolisthesis is present in a small subset of the adult population. Although the incidence of low back pain in these persons is similar to that of the general population, both pars interarticularis defect and forward slip can serve as ... Read more...
