Journal ArticleDOI

Tammy F. Chu,Tammy F. Chu,Maria Rupnick,Maria Rupnick,Risto Kerkelä,Susan M. Dallabrida,David Zurakowski,Lisa Nguyen,Kathleen C. Woulfe,Elke Pravda,Flavia Cassiola,Jayesh Desai,Suzanne George,David M. Harris,Nesreen S. Ismail,Jey-Hsin Chen,Frederick J. Schoen,Annick D. Van den Abbeele,George D. Demetri,Thomas Force,Ming-Hui Chen,Ming-Hui Chen,Jeffrey A. Morgan +22 more
TL;DR: Left ventricular dysfunction might be due, in part, to direct cardiomyocyte toxicity, exacerbated by hypertension, and patients treated with sunitinib should be closely monitored for hypertension and LVEF reduction, especially those with a history of coronary artery disease or cardiac risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional recovery following traumatic spinal cord injury mediated by a unique polymer scaffold seeded with neural stem cells.
Yang D. Teng,Erin B. Lavik,Xianlu Qu,Kook In Park,Jitka Ourednik,David Zurakowski,Robert Langer,Evan Y. Snyder +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors designed an implant modeled after the intact spinal cord consisting of a multicomponent polymer scaffold seeded with neural stem cells, and implanted it into an adult rat hemisection model of SCI.
Functional recovery following traumatic spinal cord injury mediated by a unique polymer scaffold seeded with neural stem cells
Yang D. Teng,Erin B. Lavik,Xianlu Qu,Kook In Park,Jitka Ourednik,David Zurakowski,Robert Langer,Evan Y. Snyder +7 more
TL;DR: Implantation of the scaffold–neural stem cells unit into an adult rat hemisection model of SCI promoted long-term improvement in function relative to a lesion-control group, suggesting a possible regeneration component.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alignment in total knee arthroplasty. A comparison of computer-assisted surgery with the conventional technique.
TL;DR: Computer-assisted TKA gives a better correction of alignment of the leg and orientation of the components compared with the conventional technique, and potential benefits in the long-term outcome and functional improvement require further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated Glutamate Levels in the Vitreous Body of Humans and Monkeys With Glaucoma
TL;DR: The increased level of this known neurotoxin is consistent with an "excitotoxic" mechanism for the retinal ganglion cell and optic nerve damage in glaucoma and therapies to protect neurons against glutamate toxic effects may prove to be useful in the management of this blinding disease.
