TL;DR: The robustness of the longitudinal measurement of IENF density supports its use in future longitudinal studies and clinical trials, and is associated with increased neuropathic pain, lower CD4 counts, and higher plasma viral load in HIV-SN.

TL;DR: Patients with large nerve fiber swellings on initial biopsy showed a decline in epidermal nerve fiber density on repeated biopsies and were most likely to present clinically with paresthesias.

TL;DR: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an increasingly recognized complication of premature birth and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

TL;DR: Collateral sprouting was efficiently measured using an intracutaneous axotomy model and suggests a collateral sprouting rate of 8.5 µm/day in healthy subjects, which was consistent across treatment groups and had a low coefficient of variation.

TL;DR: Inhaled epoprostenol is an effective therapy for the treatment of selected pediatric patients with acute PH and neonates may benefit more consistently from this therapy than older infants and children.
