Latest Research Summaries

KEY FINDING: The primary finding is a correction of the material measured; GFAP was measured in plasma, not serum, in the original study.

KEY FINDING: Weight-bearing rhythmic activity-based paradigms seem effective for neuropathic pain relief after spinal cord injury, regardless of whether interventions are started early or delayed, or applied for short or long durations, but the benefits may not persist long after halting the interventions.

KEY FINDING: The case report highlights a very rare complication of SCS, spinal cord compression due to the electrode array.

KEY FINDING: LPA (18:1) treatment decreases cell viability and increases LDH release in spinal cord neurons, indicating cytotoxicity.

KEY FINDING: The amount of blood loss, wound diameters, operation times, and operation costs were higher in the posterior approach group compared to the anterior approach group.

KEY FINDING: M2 macrophage exosomes alleviate tissue damage and enhance functional recovery post-SCI in rats.

KEY FINDING: Fiber–hydrogel composites with a modulus of about 20 kPa showed the strongest cell attachment and highest cell proliferation, rendering them an ideal differentiation support.

KEY FINDING: The trained deep learning algorithm achieved an overall accuracy of 98% in classifying wheelchair-related shoulder-loading activities (SL-ADL).

KEY FINDING: Logistic reasons (including distance problems and difficulty in being accompanied) were the most common reason reported for treatment discontinuation (21, [37.5%]), especially in stroke patients

KEY FINDING: Circulating monocytes increased four-fold at 3 weeks following DCM induction, but these differences normalized at subsequent time points.
