The brain in its body: motor control and sensing in a biomechanical context.

12 Oct 2009 Although it is widely recognized that adaptive behavior emerges from the ongoing interactions among the nervous system, the body, and the environment, it has only become possible in recent years to experimentally study and to simulate these ... Read more...

Clinical review of factors leading to perioperative dissatisfaction related to orthognathic surgery.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to obtain information on factors leading to perioperative dissatisfaction of patients who undergo orthognathic surgery for dentofacial deformities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 44 patients who underwent ... Read more...

Rituximab for polyneuropathy with IgM monoclonal gammopathy.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Polyneuropathy with IgM monoclonal gammopathy can be a disabling disorder necessitating treatment. METHODS: In a prospective open label trial, 17 patients with disabling IgM MGUS polyneuropathy were treated with rituximab, a chimeric ... Read more...
