Spinal Cord Injury Research

KEY FINDING: The patient developed quadriplegia immediately after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).

KEY FINDING: During baseline recordings, the majority of detectable excitatory IN connections occurred in a contra- to- ipsilateral direction, suggesting that signals tend to flow from the uninjured side of the spinal cord to the injured side.

KEY FINDING: The combination of low-dose TRT and RT resulted in significant hypertrophy of the glutei muscles compared to TRT alone.

KEY FINDING: Many SCIM fellowship websites lack sufficient information on didactics, educational resources, evaluation criteria, call requirements, schedules, and expected caseloads.

KEY FINDING: Participants showed improvements in both performance and satisfaction scores on the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) after participating in Coaching in Context.

KEY FINDING: After 8 hours of electrical stimulation, muscles still contracted, indicating the method's feasibility for prolonged use.

KEY FINDING: Stand training alone did not improve pelvic organ functions after spinal cord injury.

KEY FINDING: Awareness of diagnostic CDC-criteria for pneumonia was confirmed by 88% of departments.

KEY FINDING: The patient presented with nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and feeding intolerance, initially leading to a diagnosis of pseudo-gut obstruction due to severe hyponatremia.

KEY FINDING: The patient, initially diagnosed with a T9 AIS A SCI, was re-graded as C6 AIS A SCI following the diagnosis of transverse myelitis.
