Présentation d'une méthodologie d'évaluation de la faisabilité de la substitution sensorielle par électrostimulation linguale pour la prévention des escarres chez le bléssé médullaire paraplégique [PDF]

L'Escarre 31 (2006) 21-23, 2006
Pressure ulcers are recognized as a major health issue in individuals with spinal cord injuries and new approaches to prevent this pathology are necessary. An innovative health strategy is being developed through the use of computer and sensory substitution via the tongue in order to compensate for the sensory loss in the buttock area for individuals ...

Exploration of Neurodegenerative Diseases Using Long‐Read Sequencing and Optical Genome Mapping Technologies

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Genetic factors play a central role in neurodegenerative disorders. Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in identifying the causative genes of numerous monogenic disorders, largely due to the widespread adoption of next‐generation sequencing (NGS) technologies in both research and clinical settings.

Expanding the Allelic and Clinical Heterogeneity of Movement Disorders Linked to Defects of Mitochondrial Adenosine Triphosphate Synthase

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Defects of mitochondrial ATP synthase (ATPase) represent an emerging, yet incompletely understood group of neurodevelopmental diseases with abnormal movements. Objective The aim of this study was to redefine the phenotypic and mutational spectrum of movement disorders linked to the ATPase subunit‐encoding genes ATP5F1A and ATP5F1B ...

Hereditary spastic paraplegia: Novel insights into the pathogenesis and management

SAGE Open Medicine
Hereditary spastic paraplegia is a genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder characterised primarily by muscle stiffness in the lower limbs. Neurodegenerative disorders are conditions that result from cellular and metabolic abnormalities, many

Is there a right time for surgery in paraplegic patients secondary to non traumatic spinal cord compression?

Einstein (São Paulo)
Paraplegia is a well-defined state of complete motor deficit in lower limbs, regardless of sensory involvement. The cause of paraplegia usually guides treatment, however, some controversies remain about the time and benefits for spinal cord decompression

Spontaneous Recovery of Paraplegia Caused by Spinal Epidural Hematoma after Removal of Epidural Catheter

Case Reports in Anesthesiology, 2014
We report a patient who developed paraplegia caused by a spinal epidural hematoma after removal of an epidural catheter, which resolved spontaneously. A 60-year-old woman underwent thoracoscopic partial resection of the left lung under general anesthesia
