BMJ Open Sp Ex Med, 2023 • January 1, 2023
This study aimed to evaluate the difference between healthcare professionals (HCPs) and adults living with spinal cord injury (SCI) in Asia regarding knowledge and interpretation of ‘exercise intensit...
KEY FINDING: HCPs ranked 'intensity' as the most important aspect of exercise, while adults with SCI ranked 'frequency' as most important.
Spinal Cord, 2020 • February 13, 2020
This study examined the associations between activities, body structures and functions, and their relationship with aetiology, age and sex in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) at discharge from fir...
KEY FINDING: Pain significantly affects independence in daily activities through its relationship with depression, optimism, and self-esteem.
Experimental & Molecular Medicine, 2020 • December 14, 2020
This study investigates the potential of Wnt5a to enhance neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation for spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. The research demonstrates that Wnt5a promotes NSC differentiation ...
KEY FINDING: Wnt5a and miRNA200b-3p promote NSC differentiation into neurons, with Wnt5a upregulating miRNA200b-3p expression through the MAPK/JNK pathway.
Spinal Cord, 2020 • November 26, 2019
The study investigates the financial consequences of SCI on individuals and their families in Bangladesh, revealing significant impoverishment due to loss of work-related income. The research demonstr...
KEY FINDING: Prior to injury, 74% of participants were the main income earners for their families, and 50% provided the only source of income.
The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, 2020 • January 1, 2020
Medicaid patients with SCI in West Virginia experienced longer hospital stays, higher billed charges, and were more frequently discharged to home or skilled nursing facilities compared to non-Medicaid...
KEY FINDING: Medicaid beneficiaries had a significantly longer length of stay (20.9 days; P < .001) when compared to all other patients.
JBMR Plus, 2020 • August 1, 2020
This study evaluated the effectiveness of denosumab in preserving bone mineral density (BMD) in individuals with subacute spinal cord injury (SCI). The findings indicate that denosumab maintained BMD ...
KEY FINDING: Denosumab maintained aBMD at the distal femur and proximal tibia in persons with a subacute motor-complete SCI.
Scientific Reports, 2022 • December 19, 2022
We found that MSI in both SCI and healthy controls is best explained by cross-modal perceptual competition, highlighting a common competition mechanism. Relative to controls, MSI impairments in SCI pa...
KEY FINDING: MSI in both SCI and healthy controls is best explained by cross-modal perceptual competition, highlighting a common competition mechanism.
JOURNAL OF REHABILITATION MEDICINE, 2019 • October 4, 2019
Sacral insufficiency fractures should be considered in differential diagnosis as a cause of autonomic dysreflexia and other vague symptoms in patients with spinal cord injury. Radiological investigati...
KEY FINDING: Radiological investigation with computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis demonstrated sacral insufficiency fractures in both cases.
The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, 2020 • October 2, 2020
This systematic review aimed to evaluate melatonin levels in individuals with complete cervical SCI compared to healthy controls and those with other types of SCI. The review analyzed 12 studies to as...
KEY FINDING: Adults with complete cervical SCI tend to have absent diurnal melatonin rhythms compared to healthy controls and individuals with thoracolumbar SCI below T3.
The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, 2020 • October 1, 2020
This study aimed to identify T-score values at the total hip (TH) and femoral neck (FN) that correspond to the cutoff value of <0.60 g/cm2 for heightened risk of fracture at the distal femur (DF) and ...
KEY FINDING: aBMD at the DF and PT regions were significant predictors of T-score at the TH (R2 = 0.63, P < 0.001 and R2 = 0.65, P < 0.001) and FN (R2 = 0.55, P < 0.001 and R2 = 0.58, P < 0.001).
