Articles of Note: December Edition

Time once again for Articles of Note. All of these are from the late November/December/January issues and electronic previews. As always, please keep in mind this in no way a comprehensive list; simply items that have caught my attention from a selection of peer-reviewed journals. Links lead to PubMed abstracts; from there you can choose what’s worth a.) paying for; b.) a pilgrimage to your nearest medical library; or c.) downloading via the full-text access you possibly have at your disposal.

I have included both an embedded list of this month’s articles AND the usual Scribd list (for those of you who want a print out). Sorry for the length of the posting, but this should hopefully meet everyone’s needs.
