On-pump versus off-pump coronary-artery bypass surgery.

3 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) has traditionally been performed with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (on-pump CABG). CABG without cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump CABG) might reduce the number of complications related to the ... Read more...

Baseline CSF p-tau levels independently predict progression of hippocampal atrophy in Alzheimer disease.

20 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether baseline CSF biomarkers are associated with hippocampal atrophy rate as a measure of disease progression in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD), patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and controls, ... Read more...

Impaired category fluency in medial temporal lobe amnesia: the role of episodic memory.

31 Aug 2009 Memory tasks are often classified as semantic or episodic, but recent research shows that these types of memory are highly interactive. Category fluency, for example, is generally considered to reflect retrieval from semantic memory, but behavioral ... Read more...
