Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Orthopaedic Research"
DOI: 10.1002/jor.23479
Abstract: Simvastatin, an inexpensive lipid‐lowering drug widely used to prevent cardiovascular disorders, is known to increase osteoblastic activity, inhibit osteoclastic activity, and stimulate osteoblastic production of bone morphogenetic protein 2. Furthermore, local simvastatin application increased bone… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jum.15587
Abstract: Despite extensive research, nonunion continues to affect a nontrivial proportion of patients undergoing spinal fusion. Recently, preclinical studies have suggested that low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) may increase rates of spinal fusion. In this study, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00540-018-2541-5
Abstract: PurposeTo provide optimal conditions for neurophysiological monitoring and rapid awakening, remifentanil is commonly used during pediatric spinal surgery. However, remifentanil may induce hyperalgesia and increase postoperative opioid requirements. We evaluated the potential of methadone or… read more here.
