Vesicular neurotransmitter transporters in Huntington's disease: Initial observations and comparison with traditional synaptic markers
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-09-15)
Markers of identified neuronal populations have previously suggested selective degeneration of projection neurons in Huntington's disease (HD) striatum. Interpretations are, however, limited by effects of compensatory ...
Ultrasonography of the annular ligament partial tear and recurrent “pulled elbow”
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-12)
A 2-year-old boy had multiple episodes of radial head subluxation, recurrent “pulled elbow.” On initial ultrasonography, there was subluxation of the radial head in relation to the capitellum, and the annular ligament was ...
Concordance Between Rating of Perceived Exertion and Function in Persons with Chronic, Disabling Back Pain
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-06)
Rating of perceived exertion (RPE), or the Borg scale, has been shown to be positively associated with physiologic effort in individuals undergoing cardiovascular assessment. This study examined the correlations between ...
Transient 23–30 Hz oscillations in mouse hippocampus during exploration of novel environments
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-05)
The hippocampus is a key brain structure for the encoding of new experiences and environments. Hippocampal activity shows distinct oscillatory patterns, but the relationships between oscillations and memory are not well ...
Assessment of muscarinic receptor concentrations in aging and Alzheimer disease with [ 11 C]NMPB and PET
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-03-15)
Cerebral cholinergic deficits have been described in Alzheimer disease (AD) and as a result of normal aging. At the present time, there are very limited options for the quantification of cholinergic receptors with in vivo ...
Prognosis in long-term immunosuppressive treatment of refractory chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy
(Elsevier, 1992-01)
Treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) frequently includes use of immunosuppressive agents. Controlled treatment trials demonstrating efficacy are available only for prednisone and therapeutic ...
Autoradiographic quantification of muscarinic cholinergic synaptic markers in bat, shrew, and rat brain
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1994-05)
We employed radioligand binding autoradiography to determine the distributions of pre- and postsynaptic cholinergic radioligand binding sites in the brains of two species of bat, one species of shrew, and the rat. High ...
Median mononeuropathy among active workers: Are there differences between symptomatic and asymptomatic workers?
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-04)
The objective was to determine whether symptomatic workers with an abnormal sensory nerve conduction study consistent with carpal tunnel syndrome differed, in terms of electrophysiologic measures, psychosocial, demographic, ...
Test-retest reliability of the Upper Extremity Questionnaire among keyboard operators * Website for University of Michigan Upper Extremity Questionnaire: http://rercdev.engin.umich.edu/jobdatabase/ †
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-12)
Background Questionnaires are often used in research among workers although few have been tested in the working population. The Upper Extremity Questionnaire is a self-administered questionnaire designed for epidemiological ...
