STUDY DESIGN Case report. OBJECTIVE To report a previously undescribed association between complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and surgery for cervical disc protrusion. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Although CRPS has been associated with disc protrusion and lumbar spine surgery, there is no record in the literature of a similar association with cervical disc protrusion. METHODS Description...

The main bottlenecks limiting the practical applications of current magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) technology are its low storage density and high writing energy consumption. Although a number of proposals have been reported for voltage-controlled memory device in recent years, none of them simultaneously satisfy the ...

BACKGROUND Recurrence is the most important complication of abdominal wall reconstruction. It is possible the repair itself is intact, but bulging or expansion of mesh causes recurrent swelling's of the abdominal wall. CASE SUMMARY In this report, we present bulging of a polyester mesh due to central pore expansion. DISCUSSION Repetitive stress and variations in intra-abdominal pressure can...

The role of the actin cytoskeleton in endothelial barrier function has been debated for nearly four decades. Our previous investigation revealed spontaneous local lamellipodia in confluent endothelial monolayers that appear to increase overlap at intercellular junctions. We tested the hypothesis that the barrier-disrupting agent histamine would reduce local lamellipodia protrusions and investig...
