Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reclassifying the topical oxygen chamber for extremities (TOCE) from class III to class II. This device is intended to surround a patient's limb and apply humidified oxygen topically at a pressure slightly greater than atmospheric pressure to...

Abstract
Controversy has surrounded the role of isolated limb perfusion (ILP) for unresectable extremity sarcomas. However, there remains a group of sarcoma patients for whom amputation is the only potential treatment. Because systemic therapies are limited, the authors evaluated ILP in an effort to provide a...

Abstract
We identified cutaneous angiosarcomas in 10 children and assessed clinical (patient age, tumor site, tumor size, and tumor focality) and histologic features including growth pattern (vasoformative vs. solid), mitotic rate (mitotic figures per 10 high power field), necrosis (present vs. absent), and...

Abstract
We report a series of 13 cases of primary cutaneous epithelioid angiosarcoma and analyze their clinicopathologic features. The tumors arising in the conventional settings for cutaneous angiosarcoma (ie, in the head and neck region of elderly patients, and those occurring postradiation or associated...

Abstract
We investigated the antioxidant protective effects of melatonin on skeletal muscles of Wistar albino-type rats with acute ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.
Twenty-eight Wistar albino-type male rats weighing between 334 to 422 g were included in this experimental study. The rats were randomly alloca...

Abstract
I present a general model of character evolution enabling rate heterogeneity among branches. This model is employed in assessing the extent to which the assumption of uniform transition rates affects reconstructions of ancestral limb morphology in the scincid lizard clade Lerista and, accordingly, t...

Abstract
Severe generalized dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa is described via a clinical case in an adult male. From the time of birth his skin was characterized by extensive blistering, slowly developing into chronic wounds with the formation of pseudosyndactyly. As he grew older extracutaneous involvement...

Neuropsychologia (48)12 2010
Abstract
These results suggest that the motor comparators implicated in AHP are functioning, but not at optimum levels. Moreover, because the current findings reveal a deficit in awareness for reaches with the unimpaired limb, it is suggestive of common right hemisphere networks for motor awareness in both l...

We studied patients with combat-related injuries that required delayed amputation at least 4 months after the initial injury due to dysfunction, persistent pain, and patient desires. Late amputations were performed 22 times in 22 patients (21 men, 1 woman) since 2003. Fourteen patients underwent tra...

While the peri-infarct cortex is thought to be responsible for functional recovery, the site is also a strong candidate for post-stroke seizures. Since it is crucial to identify the conditions when the site is changed with such beneficial or detrimental results, the peri-infarct changes were investi...

Abstract
We found that, in the development of ball-and-socket joints in the Drosophila leg, the two sides of ECM form sequentially. We show that distinct cell populations produce the 'ball' and the 'socket', and that these cells undergo extensive shape changes while depositing ECM. We propose that shape chan...
