Acute hyperglycemia exacerbates poor functional outcomes after spinal cord injury through overactivation of microglia in mice and a human cohort.
Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) causes an insult to the central nervous system, often resulting in devastating temporary or permanent neurological impairment and disability, which places a substantial financial burden on health-care system. This study aimed clarify up-to-date epidemiology demographics of patients with TSCI treated at largest SCI center Japan. Data all admitted Spinal Injuries Center between May 2005 December 2021 were prospectively collected using customized, locally...
Study Design Retrospective case series. Purpose To clarify the influence of cervical spinal canal stenosis (CSCS) on neurological functional recovery after traumatic cord injury (CSCI) without major fracture or dislocation. Overview Literature The biomechanical etiology CSCI remains under discussion and its relationship with CSCS is one most controversial issues in clinical management CSCI. Methods obtain a relatively uniform background, patients non-surgically treated for an acute C3–4...
Spasticity—defined as involuntary movements caused by insult to upper motor neurons after spinal cord injury (SCI)—interferes with patients' activities of daily living. Spasticity is generally identified and managed in the chronic phase SCI, but few reports have examined onset spasticity injury. The purpose this study elucidate serial changes SCI clarify timing severe spasticity. We prospectively individuals acute traumatic admitted within two weeks Severity was evaluated using Modified...
Objectives We evaluated the time course of American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale (AIS) for up to three months in participants within 72 h after traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) with complete paralysis. aimed determine most useful sacral-sparing examination (deep anal pressure [DAP], voluntary contraction [VAC], S4-5 light touch [LT], or pin prick [PP] sensation) determining AIS grades.
