Providing good pain relief for post-op spinal fusion patients is a real challenge. The Pain Management Team at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago is comprised of nurse practitioners and physicians with many collective years of experience in pain management. Despite this it continues to be ...
Bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP2) is known to induce osteogenesis and is applied clinically to enhance spinal fusion despite adverse effects. BMP2 needs to be used in high doses to be effective due to the presence of BMP2 inhibitors. L51P is a BMP2 analogue that acts by inhibition of ...
by Elana Gotkine For adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF), intraoperative liposomal bupivacaine (LB) infiltration is associated with lower total opioid consumption and shorter length of stay (LOS), according to a study published online May 1 inSpine....

(Protocol Number 1810-36461A). Laminectomy was performed at the T8/T9 vertebral level. Adult rats were placed in an induction box until sufficiently anaesthetized with isoflurane (1–5% inhalation with oxygen) and supplemented as needed during the surgery. The surgical site is then shaved out...
In cells transfected with SCIRR1-EGFP plasmid, the encoded SCIRR1-EGFP fusion localizes in the cytoplasm. No signal found in the nucleus (A). In cell transfected with pEGFP-N1 vector, the vector EGFP is dispersed throughout the cell body (B). Cytoplasm localization of SCIRR1 was fur- ...
Intraspinal grafting of human neural stem cells represents a promising approach to promote recovery of function after spinal trauma. Such a treatment may serve to: I) provide trophic support to improve survival of host neurons; II) improve the structural
