A progressive compression model of thoracic spinal cord injury in mice: function assessment and pathological changes in spinal cord

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2017
Non-traumatic injury accounts for approximately half of clinical spinal cord injury, including chronic spinal cord compression. However, previous rodent spinal cord compression models are mainly designed for rats, few are available for mice.

Establishment of a rat model of chronic thoracolumbar cord compression with a flat plastic screw

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2016
Previous studies of animal models of chronic mechanical compression of the spinal cord have mainly focused on cervical and thoracic lesions, but few studies have investigated thoracolumbar injury.

Malignant Spinal Cord Compression

open access: yesJournal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, 2019
Malignant spinal cord compression (MSCC) is a potentially devastating consequence of cancer. Early recognition of the signs and symptoms of MSCC can allow diagnosis prior to the development of irreversible complications. Information provision to patients and doctors regarding the risk of MSCC and a streamlined pathway for further investigation are ...

The Combination of Separation Surgery and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for a Primary Osteosarcoma of the Spine: A Case Report and Literature Review

open access: yesClinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports, 2023
Background: Primary spinal osteosarcoma is a rare and intractable disease. Although en bloc resection is favorable for longer survival, it is not always achievable. Separation surgery, a partial resection with circumferential separation to safely deliver

Geometrical variations in white and gray matter affect the biomechanics of spinal cord injuries more than the arachnoid space

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2016
Traumatic spinal cord contusions lead to loss of quality of life, but their pathomechanisms are not fully understood. Previous studies have underlined the contribution of the cerebrospinal fluid in spinal cord protection.

Dynamic Cord Compression Causing Cervical Myelopathy [PDF]

open access: yesNeurospine, 2019
Due to the highly mobile nature of the cervical spine, and the fact that most magnetic resonance imagings (MRIs) and computed tomography scans are obtained only in one single position, dynamic cord compression can be an elusive diagnosis that is often ...

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

open access: yesNeural 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.

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

open access: yesBrazilian 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
