Transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells into spinal cord lesions restores breathing and climbing [PDF]
, 2003 One of the most devastating effects of damage to the upper spinal cord is the loss of the ability to breathe; patients suffering these injuries can be kept alive only with assisted ventilation. No known method for repairing these injuries exists.

Spinal Injuries in Children [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2012 About 5% of spinal injuries occur in children - however the consequences to the society are devastating, all the more so because the cervical spine is more commonly affected. Anatomical differences with adults along with the inherent elasticity of the pediatric spine, makes these injuries a biomechanically separate entity. Hence clinical manifestations

Brachial plexus injury mimicking a spinal-cord injury. [PDF]
, 2010 Objective High-energy impact to the head, neck, and shoulder can result in cervical spine as well as brachial plexus injuries. Because cervical spine injuries are more common, this tends to be the initial focus for management.

Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, 2002 The pre-hospital care of patients with suspected spinal injuries involves early immobilisation of the whole spine and the institution of measures to prevent secondary injury from hypoxia, hypoperfusion or further mechanical disruption. Early ventilation and differentiation of haemorrhagic from neurogenic shock are the key elements of pre-hospital ...
