Full recovery from tetraplegia is uncommon in cervical spine injury. This has not being reported for cervical spine fracture in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis causing spinal epidural hematoma. We report on a case of cervical spine fracture in...

Patient- and population-level health consequences of discontinuing antiretroviral therapy in settings with inadequate HIV treatment availability.

Cost effectiveness and resource allocation : C/E

Kimmel AD, Resch SC, Anglaret X, Daniels N, Goldie SJ, Danel C, Wong AY, Freedberg KA, Weinstein MC.
PMID: 22992315
Cost Eff Resour Alloc. 2012 Sep 19;10(1):12. doi: 10.1186/1478-7547-10-12.

BACKGROUND: In resource-limited settings, HIV budgets are flattening or decreasing. A policy of discontinuing antiretroviral therapy (ART) after HIV treatment failure was modeled to highlight trade-offs among competing policy goals of optimizing individual and population health outcomes.METHODS: In settings...

Is Word-Problem Solving a Form of Text Comprehension?.

Scientific studies of reading : the official journal of the Society for the Scientific Study of Reading

Fuchs LS, Fuchs D, Compton DL, Hamlett CL, Wang AY.
PMID: 25866461
Sci Stud Read. 2015;19(3):204-223. doi: 10.1080/10888438.2015.1005745.

This study's hypotheses were that (a) word-problem (WP) solving is a form of text comprehension that involves language comprehension processes, working memory, and reasoning, but (b) WP solving differs from other forms of text comprehension by requiring WP-specific language...

Intracellular mechanisms mediating gonadotropin and growth hormone release in the goldfish, Carassius auratus.

Fish physiology and biochemistry

Chang JP, Jobin RM, Wong AO.
PMID: 24202457
Fish Physiol Biochem. 1993 Jul;11(1):25-33. doi: 10.1007/BF00004547.

Evidence for the involvement of Ca(2+), protein kinase C, cAMP, and arachidonic acid metabolism in mediating gonadotropin (GTH) and growth hormone (GH) release in the goldfish is reviewed. Models for the signal transduction pathways mediating GTH-releasing hormone (GnRH) and...

Dopamine functions as a growth hormone-releasing factor in the goldfish, Carassius auratus.

Fish physiology and biochemistry

Wong AO, Chang JP, Peter RE.
PMID: 24202463
Fish Physiol Biochem. 1993 Jul;11(1):77-84. doi: 10.1007/BF00004553.

In vivo and in vitro approaches have been used to examine the role of dopamine (DA) as a growth hormone (GH)-releasing factor in the goldfish. DA stimulated GH release from perifused pituitary fragments of goldfish in a dose-dependent manner....

Modulating Electrical Properties of InAs Nanowires via Molecular Monolayers.

ACS nano

Cheung HY, Yip S, Han N, Dong G, Fang M, Yang ZX, Wang F, Lin H, Wong CY, Ho JC.
