Effects of contusion load on cervical spinal cord: A finite element study [PDF]
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2020 Injury of cervical spine is a common injury of locomotor system usually accompanied by spinal cord injury, however the injury mechanism of contusion load to the spinal cord is not clear. This study aims to investigate its injury mechanism associated with

Multiple myeloma presenting as spinal cord compression: a case report [PDF]
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2010 Introduction Spinal cord compression is a potentially devastating condition that demands immediate attention. Efforts must be divided between addressing the symptoms of cord compression and identifying the precise etiology of the condition.

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2012 Malignant epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC) remains a common neuro-oncologic emergency with high associated morbidity. Despite widespread availability of MRI, the diagnosis frequently goes unmade until myelopathy supervenes, which is unfortunate because the strongest predictor of neurologic outcome with treatment is the neurologic status when ...

Evidence-based commentary on the diagnosis, management, and further research of degenerative cervical spinal cord compression in the absence of clinical symptoms of myelopathy [PDF]
Frontiers in NeurologyDegenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) represents the final consequence of a series of degenerative changes in the cervical spine, resulting in cervical spinal canal stenosis and mechanical stress on the cervical spinal cord.
