Informed and active nursing care is essential for paraplegic patients. A patient with an acute paraplegia may develop gross distension of the bowel amounting to an ileus, presumably due to disturbance...
KEY FINDING: Tuberculosis caries of the spine (Potts paraplegia)-The cord compression is usually due to the presence of tuberculous granulation tissue within the spinal canal.
Proc. R. Soc. Med., 1968 • January 1, 1968
This paper discusses fundamental changes in understanding the physiology of spinal man due to advances in rehabilitation. It emphasizes the potential for reintegrating paraplegic and tetraplegic patie...
KEY FINDING: The isolated spinal cord in man is capable of some readaptive metamorphosis that can be utilized in rehabilitation.
J. Anat., 1966 • January 1, 1966
The study used Monastral fast blue injections to visualize the development and regeneration of blood vessels in Xenopus laevis. A tree-like vascular pattern was found in the spinal cord and rhombencep...
KEY FINDING: A tree-like vascular pattern is observed specifically in the spinal cord and rhombencephalon (hindbrain) of Xenopus laevis.
The Journal of Cell Biology, 1964 • January 1, 1964
This study examines the effects of ultrasonic treatment on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of newt notochord cells using electron microscopy. Ultrasonic treatment disrupted the ER into irregular vesicl...
KEY FINDING: Ultrasonic treatment disordered the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in newt notochord cells into irregularly rounded vesicles.
The Journal of Biophysical and Biochemical Cytology, 1961 • January 1, 1961
The study investigates the ultrastructural events of remyelination in adult cat spinal cord after experimentally induced lesions. Lesions were created via cerebrospinal fluid exchange, and tissue samp...
KEY FINDING: Remyelination occurs in adult mammalian central nervous tissue following demyelination induced by cerebrospinal fluid exchange.
