Infective endocarditis and osteomyelitis caused by Cellulomonas: a case report and review of the literature.

29 Sep 2009 Cellulomonas spp. are often believed to be of low virulence and have never been reported as a pathogen causing human disease before. We report the first case of endocarditis caused by Cellulomonas and complicated with osteomyelitis of the lumbar ... Read more...

Licking decreases phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord after a formalin test.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Nociceptive behaviors might attenuate pain sensation. Phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) was recently reported to be induced by noxious stimuli in dorsal horn neurons. We investigated, in a formalin test, ... Read more...

Risk factors and outcomes for catastrophic failures at the top of long pedicle screw constructs: a matched cohort analysis performed at a single center.

13 Sep 2009 STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review with matched-cohort analysis performed at a single institution. OBJECTIVE: To determine risk factors and outcomes for acute fractures at the proximal aspect of long pedicle screw constructs. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND ... Read more...
