Anterior-to-Posterior Migration of a Lumbar Disc Sequestration. Surgical Remarks and Technical Notes about a Tailored Microsurgical Discectomy [PDF]
Extrusion of disc material within the spinal canal complicates up to 28.6% of lumbar disc herniations. Due to the anatomical "corridors" created by the anterior midline septum and lateral membranes, relocation occurs with an anterior and anterolateral ...

Intradural angiomatous meningioma arising from a thoracic nerve root [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Spinal intradural meningiomas that arise purely from a nerve root without dural attachments are extremely rare. Spinal meningiomas arise from arachnoidal cap cells in the spinal canal, and growth of these tumors exerts pressure on the spinal ...

The Pathophysiology of Myelin Basic Protein-Induced Acute Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis in the Lewis Rat [PDF]
Histological and electrophysiological studies were performed on Lewis rats with acute experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced by inoculation with guinea-pig myelin basic protein (MBP) and Freund's adjuvant.

The paradox between resistance to hypoxia and liability to hypoxic damage in hyperglycemic peripheral nerves. Evidence for glycolysis involvement [PDF]
Isolated ventral and dorsal rat spinal roots incubated in normal (2.5 mM) or high glucose (25 mM) concentrations or in high concentrations of other hexoses were exposed transiently to hypoxia (30 min) in a solution of low buffering power.

Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spinal cord in spinal muscular atrophy
Objective: In this study we investigated the potential value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in characterizing changes in the cervical spinal cord and peripheral nerve roots in vivo in patients with spinal muscular ...

Clinical Features and Efficacy Analysis of Redundant Nerve Roots
Introduction: Redundant nerve roots (RNRs) are common finding in lumbar spinal stenosis patients. Up to now, many relevant studies were carried out on the mechanism, pathogenic factors, and clinical features of redundant nerve roots.

Focal conduction block in the dorsal root ganglion in experimental allergic neuritis [PDF]
Acute experimental allergic neuritis was induced in Lewis rats by inoculation with bovine intradural root myelin and adjuvants. In terminal experiments, sensory conduction was assessed in rats with hindlimb ataxia and weakness by stimulating the exposed ...

Lumbar puncture for the generalist [PDF]
The safe and successful performance of a lumbar puncture demands a working and yet specific knowledge as well as competency in performance. This review aims to aid understanding of the knowledge framework, the pitfalls and complications of lumbar ...
