Amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta) is believed to be a central player in the Alzheimer disease (AD) pathogenesis. However, its mechanisms of toxicity to the central nervous system are unknown. To explore this area, investigators have recently focused on Abeta-induced cellular dysfunction. Extensive research has been conducte…

Corynebacterium spp. have proven their pathogenic potential in causing infections, particularly in the setting of immunosuppression and prosthetic devices. We conducted a PubMed literature review of all cases of Corynebacterium prosthetic device infections published in the English language through December 2013. The ma…

BACKGROUND: Over the past 20 years, there has been an increase in the use of bioresorbable fixation system in orthognathic surgery, but concerns remain about the stability of fixation.
