Cervical Spinal Cord Stimulation for Functional Rehabilitation After Spinal Cord Injury: A Systematic Review of Preclinical and Clinical Studies

Life
Cervical spinal cord injury causes severe functional impairment with limited spontaneous recovery, and while spinal cord stimulation has emerged as a promising neuromodulatory strategy, evidence for cervical applications remains fragmented.

Factors Affecting Outcomes in Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This retrospective cohort study examined perioperative complications after anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS) in 3401 patients treated at a tertiary academic institution. Otolaryngologist co‐surgeons in revision and upper cervical spine (C1‐4) cases, and high‐volume spine surgeons (≥ 15 annual cases) were associated with lower complication rates ...

Mass spectrometry imaging of N‐linked glycans: Fundamentals and recent advances

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract With implications in several medical conditions, N‐linked glycosylation is one of the most important posttranslation modifications present in all living organisms. Due to their nontemplate synthesis, glycan structures are extraordinarily complex and require multiple analytical techniques for complete structural elucidation.

Electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve restores inspiratory diaphragm function in mice after spinal cord injury

Frontiers in Neural Circuits
IntroductionSpinal cord injury in the high cervical cord can impair breathing due to disruption of pathways between brainstem respiratory centers and respiratory motor neurons in the spinal cord.

Analysis of the Functional Independence Measure Value of Cervical Spine Injury Patients with Conservative Management

Makara Journal of Health Research, 2012
Cervical spine injury is one of the most common spinal cord injuries in trauma patients. From 100,000 spinal cord injury cases reported in the United States of America (2008), sixty seven percent involve cervical spine injury.

Urinary Symptoms and Sexual Dysfunction in National Level Wheelchair Rugby Male Athletes With Spinal Cord Injury

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a disruption of autonomic function negatively affecting bladder and sexual function. Research suggests that sport participation can improve physiological function and quality of relationships.

Pediatric spinal ependymomas: Long‐term surgical outcomes in a cohort of 61 cases

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Spinal ependymomas are rare in children, with limited long‐term outcome data. In this retrospective study of 61 pediatric patients undergoing surgical resection, gross total resection was achieved in 62.3% and was associated with favorable functional improvement. Recurrence was observed in 31.1% of cases.

Targeted neuromodulation of spinal interneurons enhances breathing in chronic spinal cord injury

Neurobiology of Disease
Respiratory dysfunction is a debilitating consequence of cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI) with few available treatment options. Restoring function in the chronic phase is challenging due to the limited regenerative capacity of the adult central nervous
