Axonal regeneration in hippocampal and spinal cord organotypic slice cultures [PDF]
Under normal conditions, axonal regeneration after lesions is not possible in mature CNS but can occur in embryonic and early postnatal nervous systems. In recent years, a number of possible strategies to enhance axonal regeneration and eventually treat ...

Lethal Cardiac Complications in a Long-Term Survivor of Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 [PDF]
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare neuromuscular disease characterized by degeneration of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord and motor nuclei in the lower brainstem, resulting in hypotonia, progressive proximal muscle weakness, paralysis ...

Regulation of peripheral inflammation by spinal p38 MAP kinase in rats. [PDF]
BackgroundSomatic afferent input to the spinal cord from a peripheral inflammatory site can modulate the peripheral response. However, the intracellular signaling mechanisms in the spinal cord that regulate this linkage have not been defined.

Optogenetic Interrogation of Functional Synapse Formation by Corticospinal Tract Axons in the Injured Spinal Cord [PDF]
To restore function after injury to the CNS, axons must be stimulated to extend into denervated territory and, critically, must form functional synapses with appropriate targets. We showed previously that forced overexpression of the transcription factor

Comparison between intrathecal fentanyl and dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to hyperbaric 0.5% levobupivacaine in subarachnoid block for cesarean section: A prospective study [PDF]
The effect of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl as an adjuvant with hyperbaric levobupivacaine in cesarean section has not been evaluated adequately by researchers until now.

Spinal column shortening versus revision detethering for recurrent adult tethered cord syndrome: a preliminary comparison of perioperative and clinical outcomes. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE:Recurrent tethered cord syndrome (TCS), believed to result from tension on the distal portion of the spinal cord, causes a constellation of neurological symptoms. Detethering surgery has been the traditional treatment for TCS. However, in cases

Strategies to augment volitional and reflex function may improve locomotor capacity following incomplete spinal cord injury [PDF]
Many studies highlight the remarkable plasticity demonstrated by spinal circuits following an incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Such plasticity can contribute to improvements in volitional motor recovery, such as walking function, although similar ...
