KEY FINDING: High dose TMP-SMX can induce reversible myoclonus, asterixis, and tremor.

KEY FINDING: Higher levels of systemic inflammation (CRP and IL-6) were associated with lower percent-predicted FEV1 and FVC measurements in individuals with chronic SCI. participants with higher levels of CRP and IL-6 had lower percent-predicted FEV1 and FVC measurements.

KEY FINDING: IL-27 treatment reduces neutrophil accumulation in the peritoneal cavity in a zymosan-induced peritonitis model.

KEY FINDING: The frequency of CD3? and CD3? CD4? T cells are decreased in individuals with chronic SCI compared to uninjured individuals.

KEY FINDING: 14-3-3 γ mRNA expression increases in the spinal cord during the late chronic phase of MOG-EAE.

KEY FINDING: Significant bacteriuria was identified in 73.4% of urine samples from newly admitted SCI patients, and MDR organisms were isolated in 1.1% of cultures.

KEY FINDING: High thoracic spinal cord injuries in mice significantly increased bacterial load in the lungs, indicating increased susceptibility to pneumonia.

KEY FINDING: PAR-1 null mice showed reduced neutrophil infiltration and improved vascular integrity after spinal cord injury compared to wild-type mice.

KEY FINDING: There was no statistically significant difference in cure rates between the three antibiotic treatment duration groups (<10 days, 10-15 days, >15 days).

KEY FINDING: Patients aged 50-64 years had a significantly higher risk of MDRPA compared to younger patients (18-49 years).
