Objective The increasingly high levels of overweight and obesity among the workforce are
accompanied by a hidden cost burden due to losses in productivity. This study reviews the …

Pulmonary hypertension may primarily affect either the arterial (precapillary) or the venous
(postcapillary) pulmonary circulation. Pulmonary arterial hypertension may be idiopathic or …

The widespread availability of programmable site-specific nucleases now enables targeted
gene disruption in the zebrafish. In this study, we applied site-specific nucleases to generate …

For many fractures of the femoral shaft, closed intramedullary nailing will not control rotation
or telescoping of the fragments. Locked intramedullary nailing combines closed nailing with …

Notch signaling is known to regulate the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal stem
and progenitor cells; however, direct cellular targets and specific functions of Notch signals …

Thirty-seven fractures of the distal part of the femur in thirty-five patients were treated with
interlocking intramedullary nailing. All fractures were nailed by a closed technique after any …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hedgehog signaling is critical in gastrointestinal patterning. Mice
deficient in Hedgehog signaling exhibit abnormalities that mirror deformities seen in the …

In the adult intestine, an organized array of finger-like projections, called villi, provide an
enormous epithelial surface area for absorptive function. Villi first emerge at embryonic day …

The basic aim of the work was to develop a technique for producing and utilizing high
temperature sources. Combus-tion of aluminum yields a source of high intensity thermal …
