Spinal Cord Injury Research

KEY FINDING: Single/divorced participants were more likely to not respond to the intervention (52%), compared to married participants (17%).

KEY FINDING: There was a significant shift in bladder emptying methods, with a decrease in voiding without catheter and an increase in intermittent catheterization over the 20-year study period.

KEY FINDING: Participants with low SWL were recently injured (<4.5 years), while persons with high SWL were married and younger (<49 years old).

KEY FINDING: Age ≥73 years, treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic, and psychiatric disorders were identified as independent risk factors for delirium after SCI surgery.

KEY FINDING: Thirty-one balance measures were identified, including biomechanical assessments and clinical balance scales.

KEY FINDING: The use of the Cough System resulted in significant clinical improvements in terms of restoring an effective cough and the ability to manage airway secretions.

KEY FINDING: Preventive care is generally provided by general primary care providers, but not all primary care providers are trained in recognizing and addressing spinal cord injury-specific needs.

KEY FINDING: The highest mean Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan scale score occurred at 42 days after DHA treatment in spinal cord injury rats.

KEY FINDING: Muscle fiber conduction velocity (MFCV) was significantly slower in the SCI group than the control group at all force levels.

KEY FINDING: Overexpression of SET8 upregulates H4K20me1 enrichment in Keap1, inhibiting Keap1 expression and activating the Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway.
