KEY FINDING: EH inhibited thrombosis in a dose-dependent manner by reducing the wet weight and dry weight of the thrombus.

KEY FINDING: The anterior surgical approach to the cervical spine is generally associated with a lower risk of vertebral artery injury (0.3–0.5%) compared to the posterior approach (4.1% to 8.2%).

KEY FINDING: FL dependency of SAs at the T9-L3 levels was significantly associated with the development of SCI following FET implantation in AAD.

KEY FINDING: A 54-year-old man with a history of ankylosing spondylitis, scoliosis, and hypotension presented with acute spinal cord infarction.

KEY FINDING: Preoperative identification of the AKA was useful enough to determine treatment strategies with less likelihood of SCI in both OR and EVR for dTA and TAA pathologies.

KEY FINDING: Lumbar cnNIRS reproducibly reflects spinal cord tissue oxygenation and perfusion in real time and appears a feasible method for clinical practice.

KEY FINDING: VPA administration before or after ischemia-reperfusion reduced IL-18 level but not to pre-ischemic levels.

KEY FINDING: D-Dimer, FIB, and FDP levels were significantly elevated in VTE patients compared to non-VTE patients.

KEY FINDING: Transplantation of embryonic presympathetic neurons into the injured spinal cord can reestablish supraspinal regulation of sympathetic activity, reducing autonomic dysreflexia in rodent SCI models.

KEY FINDING: FET is a commonly used treatment approach for acute type A aortic dissection.
