Early Decompression (<8h) versus Delayed Surgical Management Improves Functional Outcome after Traumatic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Global Spine Journal, 2016
Introduction Traumatic cervical spinal cord injury affects the individual in a multi-faceted way. Early decompression of the spinal canal is recommended. The optimal time point for this intervention has been under debate for decades.

Health promotion and cardiovascular risk reduction in people with spinal cord injury: physical activity, healthy diet and maintenance after discharge— protocol for a prospective national cohort study and a preintervention- postintervention study

BMJ Open, 2019
Introduction Spinal cord injury (SCI) predisposes those who suffer from it to physical inactivity and weight gain; consequently, death due to cardiovascular diseases is more frequent among people with SCI than in the general population.

The Ali Krogius procedure for treatment of patellofemoral instability should be regarded as obsolete even in skeletally immature patients

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Background Several interventions are established for treating patellofemoral instability in adults. Fewer exist for pediatric patients without damaging the epiphysis. The Ali Krogius (AK) method is currently still being used. Most studies are not current

Metabolic profile of injured human spinal cord determined using surface microdialysis. [PDF]

, 2016
The management of patients having traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) would benefit from understanding and monitoring of spinal cord metabolic states. We hypothesized that the metabolism of the injured spinal cord could be visualized using Kohonen self ...

A Laser-Guided Spinal Cord Displacement Injury in Adult Mice [PDF]

, 2018
Mouse models are unique for studying molecular mechanisms of neurotrauma because of the availability of various genetic modified mouse lines. For spinal cord injury (SCI) research, producing an accurate injury is essential, but it is challenging because ...

SponDT (Spondylodiscitis Diagnosis and Treatment): spondylodiscitis scoring system

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2019
Background Spondylodiscitis is a chameleon among infectious diseases due to the lack of specific symptoms with which it is associated. It is nevertheless a serious infection, with 7% mortality of hospitalized patients, in large part because of delayed ...

Longitudinal Optogenetic Motor Mapping Revealed Structural and Functional Impairments and Enhanced Corticorubral Projection after Contusive Spinal Cord Injury in Mice [PDF]

, 2019
Current evaluation of impairment and repair after spinal cord injury (SCI) is largely dependent on behavioral assessment and histological analysis of injured tissue and pathways. Here, we evaluated whether transcranial optogenetic mapping of motor cortex
