Multidisciplinary management of metastatic spine disease: initial symptom-directed management
Steinberger J, Yuk F, Doshi A, Green S, Germano I
Neurooncol Pract . 2020 Dec; 7(Suppl 1):i33-i44. PMID: 33299572
In the past 2 decades, a deeper understanding of the cancer molecular signature has resulted in longer longevity of cancer patients, hence a greater population, who potentially can develop metastatic...

Estrogen Alters the Synaptic Distribution of Phospho-GluN2B in the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex While Promoting Working Memory in Aged Rhesus Monkeys
Hara Y, Crimins J, Puri R, Wang A, Motley S, Yuk F, et al.
Neuroscience . 2018 Nov; 394:303-315. PMID: 30482274
Age- and menopause-related deficits in working memory can be partially restored with estradiol replacement in women and female nonhuman primates. Working memory is a cognitive function reliant on persistent firing...

Synaptic distributions of pS214-tau in rhesus monkey prefrontal cortex are associated with spine density, but not with cognitive decline
Crimins J, Puri R, Calakos K, Yuk F, Janssen W, Hara Y, et al.
J Comp Neurol . 2018 Nov; 527(4):856-873. PMID: 30408169
Female rhesus monkeys and women are subject to age- and menopause-related deficits in working memory, an executive function mediated by the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC). Long-term cyclic administration of 17β-estradiol...

Postoperative Radiculopathy Caused by a Retained Fractured Pedicle Cannulation Probe and Its Mechanism of Extraction
Yuk F, Steinberger J, Skovrlj B, Mascitelli J, Cho S, Caridi J
World Neurosurg . 2017 Jul; 107:1044.e1-1044.e4. PMID: 28755917
Background: Spine surgery relies heavily on technology and surgical instrumentation. Improperly used instrumentation can be detrimental to the patient. Despite multiple checkpoints to ensure that foreign bodies are not retained...

Diverse Synaptic Distributions of G Protein-coupled Estrogen Receptor 1 in Monkey Prefrontal Cortex with Aging and Menopause
Crimins J, Wang A, Yuk F, Puri R, Janssen W, Hara Y, et al.
Cereb Cortex . 2016 Mar; 27(3):2022-2033. PMID: 26941383
Age- and menopause-related impairment in working memory mediated by the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) occurs in humans and nonhuman primates. Long-term cyclic 17β-estradiol treatment rescues cognitive deficits in aged ovariectomized...

Concussion Incidence in Professional Football: Position-Specific Analysis With Use of a Novel Metric
Nathanson J, Connolly J, Yuk F, Gometz A, Rasouli J, Lovell M, et al.
Orthop J Sports Med . 2016 Feb; 4(1):2325967115622621. PMID: 26848481
Background: In the United States alone, millions of athletes participate in sports with potential for head injury each year. Although poorly understood, possible long-term neurological consequences of repetitive sports-related concussions...

Estrogen Restores Multisynaptic Boutons in the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex while Promoting Working Memory in Aged Rhesus Monkeys
Hara Y, Yuk F, Puri R, Janssen W, Rapp P, Morrison J
J Neurosci . 2016 Jan; 36(3):901-10. PMID: 26791219
Humans and nonhuman primates are vulnerable to age- and menopause- related decline in working memory, a cognitive function reliant on area 46 of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC). We showed...
