Understanding a spinal cord injury is the first step in learning to cope with this condition or supporting others who live with such injuries. These injuries can severely limit function depending on their location and whether or not the injury is "complete." ...
This chapter presents a discussion on the clinical aspects of the brain and spinal cord abscess. Brain abscess is a focal, intracerebral infection that begins as a localized area of cerebritis and develops into a collection of pus surrounded by a well-vascularized capsule. Brain abscesses can ...
Spinal cord stimulation therapy masks pain signals before they reach the brain. A small device, similar to a pacemaker, delivers electrical pulses to the spinal cord. It helps people better manage their chronic pain and reduce their use of opioid medications. It may be an option if you suffer...
The binary BSI reestablished a direct communication between the motor cortex and lumbar spinal cord. While this neural bypass alleviated some of the impairments related to flexion, the amount of transmitted information remained limited, and consequently, gait deficits persisted. Moreover, the rats were...

Spinal cord meningioma. The authors present a retrospective analysis of 97 cases of spinal meningioma. Age, sex, tumor location, and clinical presentation are similar to that repo... W J,Levy,Bay,... - 《Journal of Neurosurgery》 被引量: 339发表: 1982年 ...
Once the larva is inside the human body, its final location appears unrestricted - reported sites of infection include the eyes, subcutaneous tissue, abdominal cavity, spinal cord and brain [6],[8]. Pathology is associated with location; for example, infections in the brain can cause ...
Compositions and treatment method for brain and spinal cord injuries Cerebral edema is the final common pathway for all CNS tissue injuries. The CSF is the major player for cerebral edema and the resultant blood perfusion deficit. A composition and method for treating injured central nervous tissue...
Intranasal delivery: Bypassing the blood-brain barrier to deliver therapeutic agents to the brain and spinal cord. Drug Deliv. Technol. 2002, 2, 46–49. [Google Scholar] Hanson, L.R.; Frey, W.H., II. Intranasal delivery bypasses the blood-brain barrier to target therapeutic agents to the...
A spinal cord injury interrupts the communication between the brain and the region of the spinal cord that produces walking, leading to paralysis1,2. Here, we restored this communication with a digital bridge between the brain and spinal cord that enabled an individual with chronic tetraplegia to...
