The first two decades of CREB-memory research: data for philosophy of neuroscience.

I recount some landmark discoveries that initially confirmed the cyclic AMP response element-binding (CREB) protein-memory consolidation and allocation linkages. This work constitutes one of the successes of the field of Molecular and Cellular Cognition (MCC) but is also of interest to philosophers of neuroscience. Two approaches, "mechanism" and "ruthless reductionism", claim to account for this case, yet these accounts differ in one crucial way.

Management of Pelvic and Acetabular Fractures in the Obese Patient.

Acetabular and pelvic ring injuries in obese patients are difficult to treat. Obese patients require great attention to detail during the trauma evaluation to prevent medical and anesthetic complications in the perioperative period. Radiographic evaluation is often compromised by modalities available and loss of resolution with plain film imaging.
