Association of Severe Acute Kidney Injury with Mortality and Healthcare Utilization Following Isolated Traumatic Brain Injury.
(Neurocritical care, 2021-01-13)<h4>Background/objective</h4>Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and disability in the USA. While cardiopulmonary dysfunction can result in poor outcomes following severe TBI, the impact ... -
Atherosclerosis: Viewing the problem from a different perspective including possible treatment options
(Lipid Insights, 2011-12-01)This paper proposes that atherosclerosis is initiated by a signaling event that deposits calcium hydroxyapatite (Ca-HAP). This event is preceded by a loss of mechanical structure in the arterial wall. After Ca-HAP has been ... -
Changes in analgesic strategies for lobectomy from 2009 to 2018
(JTCVS Open, 2021-06-01)Objective: To evaluate trends in the use of epidural analgesia and nonopioid and opioid analgesics for patients undergoing lobectomy from 2009 to 2018. Methods: We queried the Premier database for adult patients undergoing ... -
Chronic opioid therapy and opioid tolerance: a new hypothesis.
(Pain Res Treat, 2013)Opioids are efficacious and cost-effective analgesics, but tolerance limits their effectiveness. This paper does not present any new clinical or experimental data but demonstrates that there exist ascending sensory pathways ... -

Differential expression of systemic inflammatory mediators in amputees with chronic residual limb pain.
(Pain, 2017-01)Chronic postsurgical pain impacts most amputees, with more than half experiencing neuralgic residual limb pain. The transition from normal acute postamputation pain to chronic residual limb pain likely involves both peripheral ... -
DNA methylation profiles are associated with complex regional pain syndrome after traumatic injury.
(Pain, 2019-10)Factors contributing to development of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) are not fully understood. This study examined possible epigenetic mechanisms that may contribute to CRPS after traumatic injury. DNA methylation ... -
