We describe three of our patients who developed spinal cord injury.A 45-year-old gentleman was admitted to our burns unit with a history of contact with high tension live electrical wire while sitting and working on an electric pole. He was fully alert and there was no loss of ...

However a small number of patients may ...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) has a global incidence of 10.4 to 83.0 cases per million per year, with most cases resulting in incomplete injury and permanent disability.1,2 After the initial SCI, a complex pathophysiological process involving multiple molecular mechanisms ensues, which causes further dam...
TUESDAY, Dec. 10, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Bed sores can be more than debilitating and painful. Now a new study shows they can also dramatically impact a person’s recovery from a spinal cord injury. “Our study found that patients with pressure ulcers [bed sores] regained ...
The administration of antibodies (IN-1) to neutralize the myelin-associated neurite growth inhibitory proteins leads to long-distance regrowth of a proportion of CNS axons after injury. Our aim was: to determine if spinal cord lesion in adult rats, followed by treatment with antibodies to neurite...

The effect of immobilization on motor recovery was studied in adult rats after subtotal spinal cord section. Anesthetized rats underwent three-quarter section of the cord, sparing the left lateral funiculus. After surgery, half the rats were placed in immobilization tubes for three to four weeks;...
Spinal cord injury disconnects communication between the brain and the spinal cord, disrupting control over parts of the body. Studying the mechanisms of recovery, Leuven researcher Aya Takeoka (NERF) found that a specific type of neuronal feedback from
After an incomplete spinal cord injury, the body can partially recover basic motor function. So-called muscle spindles and associated sensory circuits back to the spinal cord promote the establishment of novel neuronal connections after injury. This circuit-level mechanism behind the process of motor ...
show that spinal cord injury causes profound changes in gut microbiota and that these changes in gut ecology are associated with activation of GALT immune cells. They show that feeding mice probiotics after SCI confers neuroprotection and improves functional recovery. The trillions of microbes that ...
