BACKGROUND: We studied serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH),
estradiol (E2), triiodothyronine (T3), free T3 (FT3), cortisol and growth hormone (GH) …

Background: The traditional Brostrom repair and the modified Brostrom-Gould repair are 2
historically reliable procedures used to address lateral ankle instability. The purpose of this …

PURPOSE: To examine the anatomy of the lateral ankle after arthroscopic repair of the
lateral ligament complex (anterior talofibular ligament [ATFL] and calcaneofibular ligament [CFL]) …

Background: Radiographic stress testing using both the anterior drawer (AD) and talar tilt (TT)
technique is a widely accepted means of assessing ankle instability. The purpose of this …

The unclear relationship between cuprate superconductivity and the pseudogap state remains
an impediment to understanding the high transition temperature (T c ) superconducting …

High temperature superconductors were discovered in 1986, but despite a frantic pace of
research, resulting in some 104 publications per year for the last 16 years, these materials …

La 2 − x Sr x CuO 4 nanowire devices have been fabricated and characterized using electrical
transport measurements. Nanowires with widths down to 80 nm are patterned using high-…

Purpose Assessing the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) on the severity of adolescent
idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) on initial presentation to the spinal surgeon remains a challenge. …

Introduction Ankle sprains are the most common musculoskeletal injury, accounting for 2
million emergency department visits annually. Most sprains involve the lateral ligament …
