Introduction: Isolated stem fractures have been reported for total elbow replacements (TER) and are most frequently associated with 1) younger patients with high activity levels and 2) poor boney support conditions associated with post-traumatic arthritis [1-4]. No international test standards exist to evaluate fatigue strength of humeral and ulnar stems of a TER. Therefore, a test method was d...

Proximal femoral cephalomedullary nailing is one of the treatments of choice for intertrochanteric fracture. Zimmer Natural Nail® (ZNN; Zimmer) is one of the alternatives. We report two cases of broken tail portion of the ZNN lag screw during the removal procedure. This may be the first reported cases in scientific literature with this pattern of failure. We report these cases to highlight one ...

A new species of Cumacea belonging to the genus Lamprops Sars was collected from the East Sea of Korea. This new species resembles Lampropscomatus Zimmer, Lampropscarinatus Hart, Lampropsflavus Harada, Lampropspumilio Zimmer, Lampropstomalesi Gladfelter, and Lampropsobfuscatus (Gladfelter) in lacking lateral oblique ridges on the carapace and lateral setae on the telson. The new species, howeve...

New York Times columnist and science writer Carl Zimmer discusses the challenges of effectively communicating with the public about science.

Background We have previously described a unique gene expression signature exhibited by synovial fluid leukocytes in response to bacterial infection, identifying a number of potential biomarkers for infection. However, the diagnostic performance of these potential biomarkers in an immunoassay format is unknown. Questions/purposes We therefore evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy...

During his PhD years, Alf Zimmer worked on fundamental research in episodic memory, cumulating in his dissertation on the creation of order in human memory (Zimmer, 1973). Since then he kept up this interest in the field, although his focus shifted a bit from more fundamental to more applied issues in memory research. In particular, Alf Zimmer became interested in research on eyewitness testimo...
