Somatosensory evoked potentials during mild hypothermia after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Nov 2009 OBJECTIVE: In patients who remain in a coma after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the bilateral absence of cortical N20 responses of median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) 24 hours after admission invariably correlates with a poor ... Read more...

Overexpression of Bcl-XL in human neural stem cells promotes graft survival and functional recovery following transplantation in spinal cord injury.

30 Oct 2009 Transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) has shown promise for improving functional recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). The inhospitable milieu of injured spinal cord, however, does not support survival of grafted NSCs, reducing therapeutic ... Read more...

Short length of stay and rapid recovery to normal function after surgery for metastatic melanoma to abdominal and retroperitoneal viscera.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Metastatic melanoma to abdominal and retroperitoneal viscera carries a poor prognosis possibly resulting in reluctance to offer surgical management. There is value in defining the morbidity of such surgery. METHODS: Review of a ... Read more...
