- Associations of Genetically Predicted Lp(a) (Lipoprotein [a]) Levels With Cardiovascular Traits in Individuals of European and African Ancestry. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Many cardiovascular associations of genetically increased Lp(a) that were significant in EA were not significant in AA. Lp(a) was associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in four major arterial beds in EA but only with peripheral artery disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm in AA. Additionally, novel cardiovascular associations were detected in EA.

- Timing of Ocular Hypertension After Pediatric Closed-Globe Traumatic Hyphema: Implications for Surveillance. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: OHT after CGI and traumatic hyphema in pediatric patients is common. Injury demographics predict this complication. Integration of these risk factors with current literature allows proposal of a risk-stratification tool to guide efficient surveillance for OHT.

- Opinion and Special Articles: Remote Evaluation of Acute Vertigo: Strategies and Technological Considerations. [Journal Article]
- Patients with acute vestibular disorders are often a diagnostic challenge for neurologists, especially when the evaluation must be conducted remotely. The clinical dilemma remains: Does the patient have a benign peripheral inner ear problem or a worrisome central vestibular disorder, such as a stroke? The use of a focused history and the virtual HINTS (head impulse test, nystagmus evaluation, and…

- Activity of antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory in compounds andrographolide salt. [Journal Article]
- Andrographolide sulfonic acid sodium salt (ASS) was synthesized to increase the the solubility of Andrographolide in aqueous solution. We have studied its pharmacological effect of antibiosis, anti-inflammatory and immunoregulation. Cylinder-plate method was used to study ASS׳s in vitro antibacterial activity, and its protection for mice infected by Staphylococcus aureus and Shigella dysenteriae.…

- [Inhibitive effect of acanthopanax senticosus injection on gentamicin-induced ototoxicity in guinea pigs]. [Journal Article]Zhongguo Ying Yong Sheng Li Xue Za Zhi. 2006 May; 22(2):246-9.ZY
- CONCLUSIONS: ASS may antagonize the GM ototoxicity by inhibiting the expression of caspases-3.

- CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest an influence of ASS on outer hair cell somatic electromotility, without a concomitant effect on hair-bundle function.
- A single-band envelope cue as a supplement to speechreading of segmentals: a comparison of auditory versus tactual presentation. [Journal Article]Ear Hear. 2001 Jun; 22(3):225-35.EH
- CONCLUSIONS: The envelope cue provides a significant benefit to the speechreading of consonant segments when presented through either the auditory or tactual modality and of vowel segments through audition only. These benefits were found to be related to the reception of the same types of features under both modalities (voicing, manner, and plosion for consonants and low and tense for vowels); however, benefits were larger for auditory compared with tactual presentation. The benefits observed for segmentals appear to carry over into benefits for sentence reception under both modalities.

- Results of radiotherapy for epithelial skin cancer of the pinna: the Princess Margaret Hospital experience, 1982-1993. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: RT is an eff ctive treatment option for epithelial skin cancer of the pinna. Large t umor size and low BED were independently statistically significantly ass ociated with increased local failure. Dose-fractionation schedules usin g fraction sizes < 4 Gy may reduce the risk of necrosis and ulceration, particularly for field sizes > 5 cm2.
- Neuronal responses to vestibular and callosal stimulation in the anterior suprasylvian gyrus of the cat. [Journal Article]Neurosci Res. 1993 Feb; 16(2):105-15.NR
- Neuronal responses to electrical stimulation at the horizontal ampulla (HA), vestibular nerve (at the windows) and corpus callosum (CC) were investigated in neurons in the anterior suprasylvian gyrus of the cat. The field potentials to HA stimulation had short latency: 2.9 +/- 0.3 (mean +/- SD) ms from the stimulus to the onset and 5.6 +/- 1.9 ms to the peak. The focus of the evoked potentials wa…

- Visuomotor properties of neurons of the anterior suprasylvian gyrus in the awake cat. [Journal Article]
- Single cell activity was recorded from the Anterior Suprasylvian (ASS) gyrus of cats trained to orient their gaze toward visual or auditory stimuli. Sixty-five fixation cells were activated or suppressed as long as the animals were attentive to a particular region of space in the tangential or in the radial direction. Most of these fixation cells were neither light nor sound sensitive. Fifty-five…
- Patterns of vestibular and neck responses and their interaction: a comparison between cat cortical neurons and human psychophysics. [Journal Article]
- The present study provides evidence that during whole-body rotation and during isolated rotation of either the head or the trunk, essentially the same processing of labyrinthine and neck afferent inputs takes place in neurons of the cat's ASS cortex and in humans who try to distinguish these stimulus conditions. This processing includes, among others (1) measurement of angular velocity and displa…
