KEY FINDING: Fixed-dose enoxaparin prophylaxis resulted in sub-prophylactic anti-Xa levels in 19% of patients and supra-prophylactic levels in 7.9% of patients.

KEY FINDING: Spinal cord hemorrhage is a rare cause of acute myelopathy that can mimic other conditions, such as transverse myelitis.

KEY FINDING: An increase in skin blood flow (SkBF) during local cooling (LC) was observed in both sensate (chest) and non-sensate (thigh) areas in individuals with spinal cord injuries (SCIs).

KEY FINDING: The effect of MAP support on neurological recovery remains uncertain based on very low-quality evidence from observational studies.

KEY FINDING: At admission, individuals with NTSCI had a higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes and obesity, and a significantly higher Framingham Risk Score (FRS).

KEY FINDING: A 1.00 × 10^12/L increase in RBC counts correlated with a 45% decrease in DVT incidence, but only up to a certain threshold.

KEY FINDING: Upper-body HIIT increased peak power output (PPO) in individuals with chronic paraplegia compared to the control group.

KEY FINDING: Perioperative spinal cord protection is critical for postoperative quality of life. This includes cerebrospinal fluid drainage and maintaining adequate arterial pressure.

KEY FINDING: Patients with SCI at or above T6 (Group A) had significantly higher values in the head-up tilt test and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, indicating greater autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

KEY FINDING: Significant reduction in body mass and BMI by 7.5%, indicating effective weight management through the Therapeutic Lifestyle Intervention (TLI).
