South African Journal of Physiotherapy, 2025 • January 31, 2025
This study provides a comprehensive epidemiology of SCI in three counties in Kenya with male patients recording high prevalence in motor vehicle accidents and falls from height as well as in severity ...
KEY FINDING: The findings reveal a predominant prevalence in male patients, accounting for 84.04% of occurrences, with the highest incidence observed among individuals aged 26–35 years (36.15%).
General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Cases, 2025 • January 30, 2025
This case report presents a successful instance of EVAR with IBE for treating abdominal aortic and common iliac artery aneurysms associated with residual type B aortic dissection after previous thorac...
KEY FINDING: EVAR with IBE can be safely performed for abdominal aortic and common iliac artery aneurysms associated with residual aortic dissection after thoracoabdominal aortic graft replacement.
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2025 • January 30, 2025
The study assessed the efficacy of SDSS compared to SES at moderate and high electrical stimulation intensities, focusing on time to fatigue (TTF), maximum produced force (MPF), and average produced f...
KEY FINDING: The advantages of SDSS over SES in reducing muscle fatigue and enhancing force generation were significantly diminished at high intensity compared to moderate intensity.
Front. Cell Dev. Biol., 2025 • January 29, 2025
This study investigates the mitochondrial and metabolic response of neural stem progenitor cells (NSPCs) during spinal cord regeneration in Xenopus laevis. The research reveals that mitochondria under...
KEY FINDING: Mitochondria are primarily located in neural stem progenitor cells (NSPCs) near the spinal cord's central canal, exhibiting an apical distribution. After SCI, this arrangement is disrupted.
Scientific Reports, 2025 • January 29, 2025
This study uses a transcriptomic approach to investigate the mechanisms by which photobiomodulation (PBM) exerts its effects on spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. The findings indicate that PBM promote...
KEY FINDING: PBM treatment resulted in 1275 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with 397 upregulated and 878 downregulated, indicating a significant change in gene expression patterns after PBM.
International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, 2025 • January 29, 2025
This case report describes a rare instance of an intradural extramedullary epidermoid cyst at the cauda equina level in a 2-year-old female, presenting with a skin fold on the back since birth. The cy...
KEY FINDING: The patient presented with a rare intradural extramedullary epidermoid cyst at the L3-L4 level of the cauda equina, identified via lumbosacral MRI.
J. Clin. Med., 2025 • January 29, 2025
This review explores updated guidelines and current evidence regarding MAP management and the use of vasopressors in SCI, focusing on their impact on spinal cord perfusion and neurologic outcomes. Rec...
KEY FINDING: Updated guidelines suggest a broader MAP target range of 75–80 mmHg as the lower limit and 90–95 mmHg as the upper limit for 3–7 days of treatment post-SCI.
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2025 • January 29, 2025
This study investigates the mechanisms of zinc ion treatment in SCI, focusing on its effects on inflammation, cell polarization, and apoptosis, using transcriptomic analysis and in vitro/in vivo studi...
KEY FINDING: Zinc ions modulate inflammatory pathways through IKBα, which inhibits NF-κB activity, reducing inflammation and cell death in SCI mouse model.
Children, 2025 • January 29, 2025
This report details a rare instance of an infant with achondroplasia developing acute tetraparesis after a cervical whiplash injury, highlighting key multidisciplinary management considerations and sp...
KEY FINDING: A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for managing children with achondroplasia, especially those with foramen magnum stenosis and cervical spine injuries.
Cell Death and Disease, 2025 • January 29, 2025
The study demonstrates that the nuclear orphan receptor NR2F6 represses the expression of the activating receptor NKp46, an established key player in NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity during infection and...
KEY FINDING: NR2F6 represses the expression of the activating receptor NKp46, a key player in NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity.
