Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 • November 17, 2021
This review summarizes the current literature relating to the composition, purity, and cell dose of OEC cultures used for transplant-mediated repair of SCI. OEC transplants are not very well character...
KEY FINDING: Successful transplant-mediated repair appeared to be possible using both low and high proportions of OECs in olfactory transplants.
eLife, 2021 • November 16, 2021
Intra-operative monitoring records (MAP, HR) and neurological outcome data were extracted and curated from two Level 1 trauma centers. A final cohort of 118 patients was included The exploratory netw...
KEY FINDING: Time outside of an optimum MAP range (hypotension or hypertension) during surgery was associated with lower likelihood of neurological recovery at hospital discharge.
Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 2022 • November 16, 2021
This study evaluated the use of the single-joint hybrid assistive limb (HAL-SJ) for early rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patients were randomized into HAL-SJ and continuous passiv...
KEY FINDING: The Oxford knee score (OKS) improved significantly in the HAL-SJ group postoperatively, indicating improvement in daily life impairment.
Spinal Cord Series and Cases, 2021 • November 16, 2021
This case report highlights the rare occurrence of renal squamous cell carcinoma (RSCC) in a patient with long-term spinal cord injury (SCI) and a history of recurrent kidney stones. The patient's cas...
KEY FINDING: A 64-year-old male with a spinal cord injury since 1981 and a history of recurrent left-sided kidney stones developed a locally advanced renal squamous cell carcinoma (RSCC).
Cells, 2021 • November 16, 2021
This review explores the potential of combining stem cells and 3D bioprinted scaffolds for spinal cord injury (SCI) treatment. Current SCI therapies are inadequate, creating a need for new approaches....
KEY FINDING: Stem cells have self-renewing capabilities making them suitable for SCI treatment, however, their application is limited due to ethical issues, immune rejection and limited sources.
Sensors, 2021 • November 15, 2021
This RCT investigated the benefits of FES-assisted cycling and volitional cycling over a no-intervention control group on cardiorespiratory fitness in children with CP over an 8-week cycling training pr...
KEY FINDING: The FES group showed significantly higher cycling cadences than the VOL and CON groups at POST and WO.
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021 • November 15, 2021
This study investigated the effects of posteroanterior cervical transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSCS) paired with motor cortex or median nerve stimulation on hand muscle responses in individua...
KEY FINDING: Subthreshold TSCS facilitates hand muscle responses to motor cortex stimulation, with a tendency toward greater facilitation when TSCS is timed to arrive at cervical synapses simultaneously or up to 10 milliseconds after cortical stimulus arrival.
DRUG DELIVERY, 2021 • November 15, 2021
The study successfully designed and synthesized two novel optimized drug delivery microspheres, Lap/MS@Mel and PM/MS@Mel, for treating spinal cord injury in rats. The Lap/MS@Mel system facilitates pro...
KEY FINDING: Lap/MS@Mel hydrogels continuously released melatonin for at least 28 days in vitro, showing a more stable sustained release and better neural recovery ability in SCI rats.
Primary Health Care Research & Development, 2021 • November 15, 2021
This systematic review assessed the effectiveness of supported employment interventions for improving competitive employment in populations of people with conditions other than only severe mental illn...
KEY FINDING: Supported employment was more effective than control interventions in improving competitive employment in people with affective disorders.
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2021 • November 15, 2021
This study evaluated the effects of pelvic movements during gait training on stroke patients using a robotic gait training system (Healbot T). The results showed that providing pelvic movements during...
KEY FINDING: Stride length significantly increased in both groups after gait training with Healbot T.
