Frog‐Derived Neuroregenerative‐Peptide‐Reinforced Bioactive Hydrogels with Injectability, Thermosensitivity, and Enhanced Neurotrophic Function for Repairing Central Nervous Injuries

Small Structures, EarlyView.
Herein, the reinforcement of bioactive hydrogels with frog‐derived neuroregenerative peptide (FRNP) is presented to create multifunctional materials with injectability, thermosensitivity, and neurorepair capabilities. The formation of a porous, dual‐network hydrogel structure, combined with the action of FRNP, promotes the proliferation, migration, and

Laminoplasty versus laminectomy with posterior spinal fusion for multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy: influence of cervical alignment on outcomes.

Journal of Neurosurgery : Spine, 2017
OBJECTIVE Cervical curvature is an important factor when deciding between laminoplasty and laminectomy with posterior spinal fusion (LPSF) for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). This study compares outcomes following laminoplasty and LPSF in patients

Chronic sequelae and owner burdens are common following canine intervertebral disc disease

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Canine intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is common and may be managed conservatively or surgically. However, little is known about long‐term sequelae, quality of life and owners’ emotional burden after diagnosis. Methods Information regarding signalment, neuroanatomical lesion localisation, diagnostic imaging results and treatment ...

Selective Conservatism in the Management of Spinal Stab Wounds Remains Applicable—A Critical Review of 169 Patients Managed at a Major Trauma Center in South Africa

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Spinal stab wounds (SW) are relatively uncommon and can be both morbid and fatal. The exact role of surgery remains somewhat unclear. This study reviews our institutional experience of spinal SW management and examines the clinical outcome of these patients in a developing world setting.
