Traumatic axonal injury in the spinal cord evoked by traumatic brain injury [PDF]

, 2008
Although it is well known that traumatic brain injury (TBI) evokes traumatic axonal injury (TAI) within the brain, TBI-induced axonal damage in the spinal cord (SC) has been less extensively investigated.

Mind the Gap: Predictors of Osteoporosis Treatment Following Fragility Fracture in Parkinsonism

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Fracture risk is increased in Parkinson's yet this risk is often not addressed. Objectives Our objective was to study the extent to which osteoporosis was treated, and predictors of treatment in a large representative cohort with parkinsonism.

How Can We Personalize the Delivery of Onabotulinumtoxin‐A for Patients With Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction?

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) can produce bothersome urinary symptoms, impact quality of life, and in some cases, lead to deterioration of upper urinary tract function. Intradetrusor injection of onabotulinumtoxin‐A (BoNT‐A) is approved for NLUTD in patients who have an inadequate response to or ...

Evaluation of Whole-Brain Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Spinal Cord Injury - A Large-Scale Network Analysis Using Network Based Statistic [PDF]

, 2017
Large-scale network analysis characterizes the brain as a complex network of nodes and edges to evaluate functional connectivity patterns. The utility of graph-based techniques has been demonstrated in an increasing number of restingstate functional MRI (

Chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy versus physical therapist‐led exercise and the risk of cauda equina syndrome in adults with lumbar disc herniation, stenosis, or radiculopathy

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cauda equina syndrome is a surgical emergency often caused by lumbar disc herniation. Spinal manipulative therapy is commonly used for lumbar spine disorders, but case reports have raised concerns it may precipitate cauda equina syndrome. One cohort study suggested no increased risk, although it did not focus on patients with lumbar
