Activ C cervical disc replacement for myelopathy

Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine, 2011
Background: Cervical disc replacement is becoming an increasingly popular treatment option for cervical myelopathy. It retains motion at the affected segment, unlike anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. The aim of this study is to assess the outcomes

Diffusion Tensor Imaging in a Large Longitudinal Series of Patients With Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy Correlated With Long-Term Functional Outcome [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND Fractional anisotropy (FA) of the high cervical cord correlates with upper limb function in acute cervical cord injury. We investigated the correlation between preoperative FA at the level of maximal compression and functional recovery in a ...

Canine NAPEPLD-associated models of human myelin disorders [PDF]

, 2018
Canine leukoencephalomyelopathy (LEMP) is a juvenile-onset neurodegenerative disorder of the CNS white matter currently described in Rottweiler and Leonberger dogs. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) allowed us to map LEMP in a Leonberger cohort to dog

Calcitonin gene‐related peptide concentration in cerebrospinal fluid and serum in horses affected by trigeminal‐mediated headshaking

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Trigeminal‐mediated headshaking (TMHS) in horses shares clinical features with human trigeminal neuralgia (HTN). Increased levels of the neuropeptide calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) have been found in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of HTN patients. Inhibition of CGRP in humans has shown promise for pain relief.

A rare case of “Brown tumor” of the axis with parathyroid adenoma and tertiary hyperparathyroidism

Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine, 2023
“Brown tumors (BTs)” of the spine are benign rare lesions, seen in about 5%–13% of all patients with chronic hyperparathyroidism (HPT). They are not true neoplasms and are also known as osteitis fibrosa cystica or occasionally osteoclastoma. Radiological

Airway Involvement in Conradi–Hünermann–Happle Syndrome: A Novel Clinical Manifestation

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We report the first documented case of airway involvement in Conradi–Hünermann–Happle syndrome (CDPX2), an X‐linked dominant form of chondrodysplasia punctata caused by pathogenic variants in EBP. A 2‐month‐old female with genetically confirmed CDPX2 developed severe subglottic stenosis and persistent respiratory distress requiring CPAP; cross ...

Telomere Length, Proviral Load and Neurologic Impairment in HTLV-1 and HTLV-2-Infected Subjects. [PDF]

, 2016
Short or damaged telomeres have been implicated in degenerative conditions. We hypothesized that analysis of telomere length (TL) in human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) infection and HTLV-associated neuropathy might provide clues to the etiology of ...

Clinical Outcome Assessments for Functional Performance in Spastic Paresis: Systematic Review, Critique, and Recommendations

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spastic paresis, resulting from central nervous system lesions, significantly impairs functional performance. In the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health, functional performance was defined as functioning at the activity level in relation to the impairment of body functions and ...
