Anesthetic Management of a Parturient with Spinal Muscle Atrophy for Cesarean Section: A Case Report
Spinal muscular atrophy is a rare genetic neuromuscular disease characterized by loss of anterior horn cells of spinal cord and brain stem nuclei, resulting in progressive muscle weakness.

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

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.

Spinal codes are a new class of rateless codes that enable wireless networks to cope with time-varying channel conditions in a natural way, without requiring any explicit bit rate selection. The key idea in the code is the sequential application of a pseudo-random hash function to the message bits to produce a sequence of coded symbols for

The efficacy of adalimumab on experimentally induced spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury
Objective: Paraplegia is a dangerous complication of thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. Various studies have been conducted on the prevention of this complication and some spinal cord protection methods have been proposed.

VertXNet: Automatic Segmentation and Identification of Lumbar and Cervical Vertebrae from Spinal X-ray Images [PDF]
Manual annotation of vertebrae on spinal X-ray imaging is costly and time-consuming due to bone shape complexity and image quality variations. In this study, we address this challenge by proposing an ensemble method called VertXNet, to automatically segment and label vertebrae in X-ray spinal images.

Scoliosis Detection using Deep Neural Network [PDF]
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that most often is diagnosed among young teenagers. It dramatically affects the quality of life, which can cause complications from heart and lung injuries in severe cases. The current gold standard to detect and estimate scoliosis is to manually examine the spinal anterior-posterior X-ray images.

Imaging Microglial/Macrophage Activation in Spinal Cords of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis Rats by Positron Emission Tomography Using the Mitochondrial 18kDa Translocator Protein Radioligand [18F]DPA-714 [PDF]
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the CNS. Activated microglia/macrophages play a key role in the immunopathogenesis of MS and its corresponding animal models, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).

Spinal Muscular Atrophy With Myoclonic Epilepsy
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is defined by degeneration of anterior horn cells in the spinal cord. Progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME) is characterized by myoclonic and generalized seizures with progressive neurological deterioration.
