Degeneration of the injured cervical cord is associated with remote changes in corticospinal tract integrity and upper limb impairment.

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundTraumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to disruption of axons and macroscopic tissue loss. Using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), we assessed degeneration of the corticospinal tract (CST) in the cervical cord above a traumatic lesion and ...

Global Connectivity and Function of Descending Spinal Input Revealed by 3D Microscopy and Retrograde Transduction [PDF]

, 2018
The brain communicates with the spinal cord through numerous axon tracts that arise from discrete nuclei, transmit distinct functions, and often collateralize to facilitate the coordination of descending commands.

Cervical spinal cord injury without bony injury [PDF]

Spinal Cord, 1977
Cervical spinal cord injury without demonstrable bony injury occurred in 141 (37%) of 384 successive neck injuries admitted to the Sheffield Spinal Injuries Unit. The condition was common in patients in the older age-groups and there were 70% of the cases who were over the age of 50 years. The commonest cause was a fall.

Right-sided infective endocarditis as a potentially fatal complication in patients with long-term refractory severe bradyarrhythmia after cervical spinal cord injury: A case report

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2015
Bradyarrhythmia is usually a spontaneously subsiding complication of cervical spinal cord injury. However, in severe cases, it can lead to cardiac arrest.

Finite element modeling of the human cervical spinal cord and its applications: A systematic review

North American Spine Society Journal, 2023
Background Context: Finite element modeling (FEM) is an established tool to analyze the biomechanics of complex systems. Advances in computational techniques have led to the increasing use of spinal cord FEMs to study cervical spinal cord pathology ...

Spinal involvement in mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (Morquio-Brailsford or Morquio A syndrome): presentation, diagnosis and management. [PDF]

, 2013
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA), also known as Morquio-Brailsford or Morquio A syndrome, is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme N-acetyl-galactosamine-6-sulphate sulphatase (GALNS). MPS IVA is multisystemic but manifests

Targeted Perfusion Therapy in Spinal Cord Trauma. [PDF]

, 2020
We review state-of-the-art monitoring techniques for acute, severe traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) to facilitate targeted perfusion of the injured cord rather than applying universal mean arterial pressure targets.

Cervical spinal cord injury in sapho syndrome [PDF]

Spinal Cord, 1999
Cervical spinal fracture and pseudarthrosis are previously described causes of spinal cord injury (SCI) in patients with spondylarthropathy. SAPHO (Synovitis Acne Pustulosis Hyperostosis Osteitis) syndrome is a recently recognized rheumatic condition characterized by hyperostosis and arthro-osteitis of the upper anterior chest wall, spinal involvement ...

Acute Hyperoxia Improves Spinal Cord Oxygenation and Circulatory Function Following Cervical Spinal Cord Injury in Rats

Journal of Physiological Investigation
Spinal cord injury is associated with spinal vascular disruptions that result in spinal ischemia and tissue hypoxia. This study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of normobaric hyperoxia on spinal cord oxygenation and circulatory function at the acute ...

Thoracic rat spinal cord contusion injury induces remote spinal gliogenesis but not neurogenesis or gliogenesis in the brain.

PLoS ONE, 2014
After spinal cord injury, transected axons fail to regenerate, yet significant, spontaneous functional improvement can be observed over time. Distinct central nervous system regions retain the capacity to generate new neurons and glia from an endogenous ...
