An experimental study of cardiovascular complications that arise during vertebroplasty was conducted.To investigate the sequential occurrence fat embolism and hypotension vertebroplasty.Vertebroplasty, augmentation vertebrae with polymethylmethacrylate, is a technique for treating osteoporotic compression fractures achieving prophylactic stabilization vertebral bodies at risk fracture. However, there concern acute could occur as in variety other orthopedic procedures.In six sheep, 6 mL...

STUDY AIMS: Wheelchair athletes may be at risk of urinary tract infections, especially those with spinal cord injury. A infection can lead to a loss training hours and reduced performance in athletes. We assessed the self-reported occurrence infections impact on elite wheelchair also evaluated prophylactic measures used, as reported by METHODS: Data were collected from September 2022 August 2023 an institute specialised examining All active international and/or national competitions who...

To investigate the outcome and complications of sacral deafferentation (SDAF) anterior root stimulation (SARS) in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) resulting from complete spinal cord injury (SCI).Retrospective chart analysis 137 who underwent SDAF/SARS at a single institution. Patients were categorized as being risk renal damage when maximum detrusor pressure was >40 cmH2 O or compliance <20 ml/cmH2 O.After mean follow-up time 14.8 ± 5.3 years, treatment...

Abstract Research efforts aim at enhancing early osseointegration of cementless implants to improve fixation and, thus, reduce the risk loosening. The present study was investigate whether bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 2 had a positive effect on hydroxyapatite‐coated implants. Hydroxyapatite (HA) (perforated hollow cylinders and solid rods) were coated with BMP‐2 hyaluronic acid (HY) as carrier or HY alone. Uncoated HA served controls. evaluated either by light microscopy pullout tests...

Clinical study of injection pressure during vertebroplasty.To investigate the range pressures conventional vertebroplasty interventions and to influence syringe design cement polymerization time on pressure.Vertebroplasty is an efficient procedure for treatment painful vertebral fractures. However, leakage a potentially serious complication. Although has been suggested as factor extravasation risk, date, there are only anecdotal reports data augmentation in clinic.Using holder instrumented...

Abstract Concerns have been raised that the use of calcium phosphate (CaP) cements for augmentation fractured, osteoporotic bones may aggravate cardiovascular deterioration in event pulmonary cement embolism by stimulating coagulation. The aim present study was therefore to investigate changes after CaP using an animal model. In 14 sheep, 2.0 mL or polymethylmethacrylate were injected intravenously. Cardiovascular parameters and antithrombin levels monitored until 60 min postinjection....

The authors investigated the relevance of 2D MRI measurements for diagnosis critical cervical spinal canal stenosis. Among patients who had sustained a minor spine trauma, they compared between those with acute cord injury (CSCI) and without. They also correlation severity CSCI as well classification accuracy concerning stenosis after trauma.The conducted single-center retrospective radiological case-control study trauma to from January 2000 August 2010. controls were without clinical or...

Prospective cohort study.To investigate the changes in resting energy expenditure and body composition over time a of patients with spinal cord injury during acute treatment, rehabilitation, 2 years after end rehabilitation.Adult admitted for treatment rehabilitation traumatic were recruited. Measurements scheduled at 2, 6, 10 14 weeks injury, later.Patients' mean age was 38.8 (standard deviation 14.0). Resting began to decrease up 10-week measurement (p = 0.02) further decreased 130-week...

In Brief Study Design. Experimental study of temperature profiles during vertebroplasty. Objectives. To define accurate vertebroplasty in an vivo animal model. Summary Background Data. Controversy still exists whether achieves its analgesic effect by stabilizing fracture fragments or due to thermal damage sensory nerves inside the vertebral body. Furthermore, energy release cement polymerization may cause injury spinal cord intervertebral discs. Methods. A total 4.0 mL PMMA was injected into...

Objective. To determine which single or combined upper limb muscles as defined by the International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI); extremity motor score (UEMS) and Graded Redefined Assessment Strength, Sensibility, Prehension (GRASSP), best predict function independence in activities daily living (ADLs) to assess predictive value qualitative grasp movements (QlG) on individuals with acute tetraplegia. Method. As part a Europe-wide, prospective,...

Individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI), despite specialized rehabilitation and good health care, have reduced life expectancy. Infectious diseases, such as pneumonias, infected pressure sores urinary tract infections (UTI) been identified the leading causes of mortality. We hypothesise that premature onset immune frailty occurs in SCI, possibly caused also by recurrent infections. A cross sectional study was performed comparing blood urine samples between able bodied controls (n = 84)...

Recent research has indicated an increase in the severity of head injuries Switzerland. The aim present study was to describe epidemiological features cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) due interpersonal violence patients at Bern University Hospital Emergency Department (ED), based on injury patterns.Retrospective analysis performed data collected during 11-year period between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2010 covering 1,585 patients. A distinction drawn neurocranial maxillofacial injuries, two...

To date sacrocolpopexy is regarded as the reference standard treatment for primarily apical compartment prolapse and multicompartment prolapse. Most bladder bowel dysfunction improves postoperatively after sacrocolpopexy; however, de novo or can occur. The inferior hypogastric nerve commonly known among pelvic surgeons. However, its fine fibers are difficult to identify; iatrogenic lesion tolerated although this lead bladder, sexual dysfunction. This study was performed assess functional...
