Acute and Critical Care, 2025 • February 1, 2025
This paper presents two case reports detailing the successful use of droxidopa to manage hypotension in acute spinal cord injury (SCI) patients who could not tolerate midodrine due to reflex bradycard...
KEY FINDING: Droxidopa was successfully used to manage hypotension in two patients with acute SCI who experienced bradycardia with midodrine.
Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports, 2025 • February 1, 2025
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is most common following trauma, typically involving motor vehicle incidents. The clinical prognosis depends on many factors, most importantly the initial grade of injury. We ...
KEY FINDING: A computed tomography scan demonstrated cervicomedullary transection caused by C6-C7 facet distraction with C6 retrolisthesis on C7.
European Journal of Neuroscience, 2025 • February 1, 2025
The study investigates the effects of extremely low-frequency and low-intensity electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) on microtubules (MTs) and Tau-MT interactions in a neuronal cell model exposed to zinc ...
KEY FINDING: Timed pre-exposure to ELF-EMF (40 Hz, 1 G) enhanced microtubule dynamics, specifically increasing EB1 comet tracks' length with a 10 min (48 h) treatment.
Global Spine Journal, 2025 • February 1, 2025
This retrospective multicenter study analyzed 140 elderly patients with cDISH-related injuries (106 fractures, 34 SCI without fracture) compared to matched controls. Patients with cDISH-related fractu...
KEY FINDING: Elderly patients with cDISH-related spine injuries involving fractures did not show significantly different complication rates, ambulation outcomes, or paralysis severity compared to matched controls.
Global Spine Journal, 2025 • February 1, 2025
This study investigates the treatments and outcomes of hangman’s fractures in geriatric patients using a large multicenter database in Japan. The study reveals a high bony fusion rate with appropriate...
KEY FINDING: The bony fusion rate for hangman’s fractures in the geriatric population was high, around 90% for Type I and Type II fractures.
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2025 • February 1, 2025
This retrospective cohort study examined the association between the level of consent to the Rick Hansen Spinal Cord Injury Registry (RHSCIR) and patient outcomes after traumatic spinal cord injury (T...
KEY FINDING: Participants who declined community follow-up interviews but accepted minimal data collection had significantly longer acute length of stay compared to those who provided full consent.
European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2025 • February 1, 2025
This systematic review evaluated diagnostic and rehabilitation methods for dysphagia in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. The review identified a range of assessment tools, including clinical evaluat...
KEY FINDING: The most common assessment tools are the Bedside Swallow Evaluation (BSE), Bazaz score, Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10), and Videofluoroscopic Study of Swallowing (VFSS).
J Nucl Med, 2025 • February 1, 2025
This study introduces [18F]3F4AP as a PET tracer for imaging demyelinated axons after spinal cord injury in both animal models and humans, showing its efficacy in detecting incomplete SCI. The tracer ...
KEY FINDING: [18F]3F4AP PET in rats showed over a 2-fold increase in tracer binding localized to the injury site 7 days post-injury compared to baseline.
NeuroSci, 2025 • February 1, 2025
This study investigated employment rates and determinants among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) in Romania, revealing a significant employment gap compared to the general population. Key bar...
KEY FINDING: The employment rate among individuals with SCI in Romania was found to be 25.35%, significantly lower than the general population's rate of 64.8%, resulting in a 39.45% employment gap.
ACS Nano, 2025 • January 31, 2025
This paper presents a wearable, multimodal nanomembrane sensor-integrated glove and a tactile feedback system designed to aid in the rehabilitation of upper-limb sensory impairments in TSCI patients. ...
KEY FINDING: The wearable system achieves high accuracy in detecting pressure (98%) and finger flexion (97%), demonstrating its potential as an effective rehabilitation tool.
