Effect of melatonin on the functional recovery from experimental traumatic compression of the spinal cord

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2013
Spinal cord injury is an extremely severe condition with no available effective therapies. We examined the effect of melatonin on traumatic compression of the spinal cord. Sixty male adult Wistar rats were divided into three groups: sham-operated animals

Dynamic Compression of the Spinal Cord by Paraspinal Muscles following Cervical Laminectomy: Diagnosis Using Flexion-Extension MRI

Case Reports in Radiology, 2015
Introduction. Flexion-extension, or kinematic, MRI has been used to identify dynamic spondylotic spinal cord compression not seen with traditional static MRI.

Correlation of spinal cord compression angle and increased signal intensity on MRI in patients with ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament

Scientific Reports
We retrospectively investigated the correlation between the spinal cord compression angle and increased signal intensity (ISI) in 118 patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL).

The Radiological Characteristics of Degenerative Cervical Kyphosis with Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy

Spine Surgery and Related Research
Introduction: In this study, we aim to describe the radiological characteristics of degenerative cervical kyphosis (DCK) with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) and discuss the relationship between DCK and the pathogenesis of spinal cord dysfunction ...

Compression analysis of the gray and white matter of the spinal cord

Neural Regeneration Research, 2020
The spinal cord is composed of gray matter and white matter. It is well known that the properties of these two tissues differ considerably. Spinal diseases often present with symptoms that are caused by spinal cord compression.

Riluzole attenuates neuropathic pain and enhances functional recovery in a rodent model of cervical spondylotic myelopathy

Neurobiology of Disease, 2014
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is the commonest cause of spinal cord impairment worldwide and despite surgical treatment, it is commonly associated with chronic neuropathic pain and neurological impairment.

Different Time-Frequency Distribution Patterns of Somatosensory Evoked Potentials in Dual- and Single-Level Spinal Cord Compression

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022
Among patients with cervical myelopathy, the most common level of stenosis at spinal cord of all ages was reported to be between cervical levels C5-6. Previous studies found that time-frequency components (TFCs) of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs ...

Spinal cord swelling and intradural compression predict neurological recovery after acute cervical traumatic spinal cord injury.

PLoS ONE
Intradural spinal cord compression impairs perfusion pressure and is putatively rate-limiting for recovery after traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI). After cervical tSCI, even minimally improved tissue preservation may help promote neurological recovery.

Spinal Paget's disease with bilevel cord compression and ischemic non‐compressive myelopathy treated with zoledronic acid

Clinical Case Reports, 2022
Cord compression and ischemic non‐compressive myelopathy are a complication of spinal Paget's disease (SPD). SPD usually touches a single spine level.
