Metastatic spinal cord compression: a rare but important complication of cancer.

open access: yesClinical medicine (London), 2014
Metastatic spinal cord compression (MSCC) is a well-recognised complication of cancer and usually presents as an oncological emergency. Metastases to the spine occur in 3–5% of all patients who have cancer and are more common in patients with breast ...

Biomimetic Scaffolds Enhance iPSC Astrocyte Progenitor Angiogenic, Immunomodulatory, and Neurotrophic Capacity in a Stiffness and Matrix‐Dependent Manner for Spinal Cord Repair Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Through tuning biomimetic scaffold stiffness and matrix composition the reparative capacity of astrocyte progenitors is enhanced. Soft, collagen‐IV/fibronectin‐functionalized scaffolds promote progenitor growth while improving angiogenic, immunomodulatory, and neurotrophic capacity in a stiffness and matrix‐dependent manner, demonstrating the impact of

Toxic and Metabolic Myelopathies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Myelopathy describes any neurologic deficit related to the spinal cord. It is most commonly caused by its compression by neoplasms, degenerative disc disease, trauma, or infection.

Pain and analgesic use associated with skeletal-related events in patients with advanced cancer and bone metastases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
PURPOSE: Bone metastases secondary to solid tumors increase the risk of skeletal-related events (SREs), including the occurrence of pathological fracture (PF), radiation to bone (RB), surgery to bone (SB), and spinal cord compression (SCC).

Epidemiological study of cervical cord compression and its clinical symptoms in community-dwelling residents.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundDegenerative compressive myelopathy (DCM) is caused by cervical cord compression. The relationship between the magnitude and clinical findings of cervical cord compression has been described in the literature, but the details remain unclear ...

A CLINICAL CASE OF THE TREATMENT OF THE SPINE TRAUMA WITH SPINAL CORD INJURY IN CAT

open access: yesUkrainian Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2021
The arTIcle covers a clinical case of spine trauma with spinal cord injury in a cat. He was diagnosed with a bullet wound to the lumbar spine with spinal cord compression. Dorsal laminectomy was performed with the removal of the bullet at the L3–L5 level.

Genome-wide gene expression profiling of stress response in a spinal cord clip compression injury model. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BackgroundThe aneurysm clip impact-compression model of spinal cord injury (SCI) is a standard injury model in animals that closely mimics the primary mechanism of most human injuries: acute impact and persisting compression.
