Autophagy is a cellular mechanism of self-cycling for survival, which is also called type 2 cell death or autophagic cell death. The process of autophagy is involved in many diseases of the nervous system and in nerve injuries. In Alzheimer’s disease, overactivation of autophagy has been shown...
This chapter discussesspinal cord compressionthat may evolve from disease ortraumaof thevertebrae, prolapse ofintervertebral discs, or lesions within thespinal canalsuch as tumor or infection. Unfortunately, the relatively uncommon condition ofspinal cord compressioncan often begin with the almost ubiquitous...
Spinal cord injury with no radiographic abnormality accounted for 2.21% of cases of spinal cord injury in our series. MRI is the investigation of choice, having diagnostic and prognostic value because it demonstrates neural and extraneural injuries and helps to identify surgically correctable ...
Our data in groups I and II agree with previously published literature that shows no significant advantage of performing laminectomies following penetrating spinal cord injuries. Moreover, group I patients had a poor prognosis whether laminectomy was done or not, and group II patients had a good ...
This paper describes an objective, quantifiable technique for assaying the degree of severity of spinal cord injury. Twenty-one rats underwent a C7-T1 laminectomy: 12 received a C8 spinal cord clip compression injury with forces of either 2.3, 16.9 or 53.0 g; 4 had cord transection at C8, ...

The toothpaste artificial change of spinal cord was microscopically observed at the near site of laminectomy. Slight bleeding was observed in a margin of the slipped area, but there was no reactive change. In present case, external compression of spinal cord which occurred accidentally during the ...
