BMC Neurology, 2022 • September 14, 2022
This case report describes a rare instance of long-segment spinal cord infarction complicated by multiple cerebral infarctions in a 65-year-old male. The patient presented with sudden pain, weakness, ...
KEY FINDING: Long-segment spinal cord infarction can occur in conjunction with multiple cerebral infarctions, presenting a complex clinical picture.
Molecular Medicine, 2022 • September 12, 2022
miR-21 has potential against the burden of SCI through suppressing the inflammatory milieu in neural cells, apoptosis inhibition, improving angiogenesis, and synapsis protection. Current understanding...
KEY FINDING: miR-21 overexpression reduces neuroinflammation after SCI by decreasing the expression of inflammatory factors.
Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health, 2022 • September 14, 2022
This study evaluated gait initiation in iSCI patients using wearable IMUs in dry land and water immersion conditions. The aquatic condition showed an increased first step duration and decreased RMS acc...
KEY FINDING: In the aquatic environment, the initial step lasted longer compared to walking on land.
Scientific Reports, 2022 • September 5, 2022
The study investigates cervical spine injuries in older adults, highlighting falls as the primary cause, particularly falls from ground level. Clinical characteristics and outcomes differ based on the...
KEY FINDING: Ground-level falls are the most common cause of cervical spine injuries in older adults.
J Neural Eng., 2022 • October 18, 2022
This study introduces a machine-learning framework to identify EES parameters capable of generating desired patterns of EMG activity. The approach involves training a forward neural network model to p...
KEY FINDING: Neural networks can effectively approximate the complex computations of the spinal cord related to sensorimotor control, accurately predicting muscle activity based on EES parameters.
The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, 2022 • January 1, 2022
The Ernest Bors, MD Award for Scientific Development is awarded annually by the Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine to recognize excellence in spinal cord injury research. Nathan Hogaboom, PhD, received t...
KEY FINDING: Dr. Hogaboom's pilot study evaluates micro-fragmented adipose tissue injection under ultrasound guidance for treating refractory rotator cuff disease in wheelchair users with spinal cord injury.
The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, 2020 • July 1, 2020
This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between musculoskeletal pain, fear-avoidance factors, quality of life (QoL), and activity in active manual wheelchair users with spinal cord in...
KEY FINDING: A strong association was identified between pain catastrophizing and task-specific shoulder pain, indicating that psychological factors significantly influence the experience of pain during activities.
Behav Brain Res, 2022 • January 7, 2022
This study investigated the relationship between corticospinal tract (CST) sprouting and behavioral recovery in monkeys after two different spinal deafferentation injury models: dorsal root lesion (DR...
KEY FINDING: The extent of corticospinal tract (CST) sprouting does not correlate with the degree of behavioral recovery in monkeys after a spinal deafferentation injury.
World Journal of Clinical Cases, 2022 • September 26, 2022
This study evaluated heart rate variability (HRV) and pulse-wave velocity (PWV) in patients with and without spinal cord injury (SCI) to assess cardiovascular complications. The results showed that SC...
KEY FINDING: Patients with SCI exhibited significantly lower SDNN, RMSSD, TP, LF, and HF, indicating weaker cardiac function and reduced sympathetic and parasympathetic activity.
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 • September 15, 2022
This study conducted quantitative and qualitative analyses on 213 publications in the field of acupuncture for SCI in the WOS core database from 1979 to 2021. Quantitative analysis shows a fluctuating...
KEY FINDING: The number of publications related to acupuncture for SCI showed a fluctuating upward trend from 1979 to 2021.
