For cases of occult tethered cord syndrome, all other sources of symptoms should be excluded, including consultation notes from appropriate specialists (e.g., a urologist for urologic complaints, a neurologist for neurologic complaints); or Other mass lesions confirmed by imaging studies (e.g., ...
Therefore, establishing public policies aimed at preventing injuries should focus on falls and more attention should be paid to the aged regarding their vulnerability to low fall. Additionally, complications should be prevented in TCSCI patients.EBSCO_AspSpinal Cord...
Injuries to the spinal cord can result in paralysis. Typically, injuries higher on the spinal cord would resort to a more serious injury. Explain why. Assign the correct ICD - 10 -CM diagnosis codes and ICD-10-PCS procedure codes...

pain; prediction; 10 kHz spinal cord stimulation; responders; machine learning1. Introduction Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is considered an effective treatment option for patients with chronic pain, among which patients with failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) [1,2,3]. Recent studies clearly ...
An MRI image revealed an expansile intramedullary cystic mass in the thoracic spinal cord, which was initially diagnosed as a spinal tumor. He underwent laminectomy and myelotomy, and eventually the pus was drained from the abscess. The follow-up MRI showed improvement, but the patient's ...
While Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) provides satisfaction to almost 2/3 of Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome-Type 2 (PSPS-T2) patients implanted for refractory chronic back and/or leg pain, when not adequately addressed the back pain component, leaves patients in a therapeutic cul-de-sac. Periphe...
One of the most relevant demographic indicators is BMI (body mass index). High BMI values are known to be risk factors for many diseases and are directly correlated with the complication rate after spinal surgery, even if in the literature, BMI’s role is still debated in the prediction of...
This can be seen as the result of decreased muscle mass in the lower limbs of individuals with spinal cord injury and the result of decreased workouts of the lower limbs among individuals with amputation. In Chest breadth, Waist breadth, and Hip breadth (sitting), which are the measurement ...
