Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling in development and human diseases.
Richard N. Wang,Jordan D. Green,Zhongliang Wang,Youlin Deng,Min Qiao,Michael A. Peabody,Qian Zhang,Jixing Ye,Zhengjian Yan,Sahitya K. Denduluri,Olumuyiwa Idowu,Melissa Li,Christine Shen,Alan J. Hu,Rex C. Haydon,Richard W. Kang,James M. Mok,Michael J Lee,Hue L. Luu,Lewis L. Shi +19 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on genetically manipulated mouse knockout models that have helped elucidate the role of BMPs in development and a significant portion of this review is devoted to the prominent human pathologies associated with dysregulated BMP signaling

Lumbar Plexus Anatomy within the Psoas Muscle: Implications for the Transpsoas Lateral Approach to the L4-L5 Disc
TL;DR: Because of the proximity of the neural elements, in particular the femoral nerve, to the center of the disc space, the transpsoas lateral surgical approach to the L4-L5 disc space will likely cause intraoperative displacement of neural structures from their anatomic course during retractor dilation.

Comparison of observer variation in conventional and three digital radiographic methods used in the evaluation of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
TL;DR: The results suggest that different observers will obtain similar measurements when viewing the same image, but care should be taken when interpreting images printed on 2 unstitched films.

Michael P. Kelly,James M. Mok,Sigurd Berven +2 more
- 01 Jan 2010
TL;DR: A review and assessment of the evidence in the literature on the efficacy of dynamic stabilization techniques in the management of spinal disorders is presented in this paper. But, the authors do not consider the effect of instrumentation on adjacent segments.
