Skeletal muscle metabolism in individuals with spinal cord injury.
With increasing survival rates in people with spinal cord injuries (SCI), detection and prevention of metabolic and cardiovascular disease have become increasingly important. Few studies have evaluated in vivo mitochondrial function in paralyzed skeletal muscle. The purpose of this study was to compare oxidative muscle metabolism using the rate of phosphocreatine (PCr) resynthesis measured by m...
متن کاملO17: Inflammation in Brain and Spinal Cord
our goal in this paper is to describe and compare basic immunopathologic pattern of common demyelinating disorder, that is very important to choose the best treatment. The most common disorders are multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica,Anti MOG associated disease,ADEM and autoimmune encephalitis. ADEM consists of ‘‘sleeves’’ of demyelination centered on small, engorge...
متن کاملDiffusion tensor imaging in spinal cord injury
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To assess the feasibility of spinal tractography in patients of spinal cord injury vs a control group and to compare fractional anisotropy (FA) values between the groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was performed in the spinal cord of 29 patients (18 patients and 11 controls). DTI was done in the cervical region if the cord injury was at the dor...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance microimaging of intraaxonal water diffusion in live excised lamprey spinal cord.
Anisotropy of water diffusion in axon tracts, as determined by diffusion-weighted MRI, has been assumed to reflect the restriction of water diffusion across axon membranes. Reduction in this anisotropy has been interpreted as degeneration of axons. These interpretations are based primarily on a priori reasoning that has had little empirical validation. We used the experimental advantages of the...
متن کاملEvidence for spinal cord hypersensitivity in chronic pain after whiplash injury and in fibromyalgia.
Patients with chronic pain after whiplash injury and fibromyalgia patients display exaggerated pain after sensory stimulation. Because evident tissue damage is usually lacking, this exaggerated pain perception could be explained by hyperexcitability of the central nervous system. The nociceptive withdrawal reflex (a spinal reflex) may be used to study the excitability state of spinal cord neuro...
