it was estimated that 3 million people suffered from spinal cord injury. unfortunately up to date, there are not any reliable clinical treatments for spinal cord injury and researches for treatments of sci have focused on medication, surgery, stem cell transplantation, molecular therapy and tissue engineering. also scientists are trying to use a combination of stem cells and nanotechnology scie...

Objective: The present study was aimed at evaluating the outcome of pregnancies with a nuchal cord. Methods: A retrospective population-based all deliveries during years 2011-2020 in Philippe Maguilen SENGHOR Center conducted. Perinatal patients and without cord compared. Results: Among 44,958 period, 1.8% had cord, documented birth (n = 807). Higher rates labor induction (9.1% vs. 3.2%; p 0.00...

Background: Cesarean section delivery can lead to much maternal morbidity. Different cytokines have been reported to be influenced by the mode of delivery. Objective: To investigate the influence of mode of delivery on maternal, placental and cord sera of interferon gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels. Methods: These three cytokines were measured using ELISA in...

Background & Importance: Acute autonomic system impairment can be dangerous and life-threatening, and a clinician should be aware of its occurrence possibility. According to the anatomy of this system, spinal cord lesions could disturb its function. There are many reports of autonomic dysreflexia in spinal cord i njuries especially spinal cord trauma. Case Presentation: A 28 year-o...

Introduction: Functional MRI methods have been used to study sensorimotor processing in the Spinal cord. However, these techniques confront unwanted contributions to the measured signal from the physiological fluctuations. For the spinal cord imaging, most of the challenges are consequences of cardiac and respiratory movement artifacts that are considered as significant sources of noise, especi...

background and objective: deprenyl is a drug for the treatment of parkinson’s disease, where the dopaminergic neurons are the target of this drug. several reports also documented that deprenyl has an effect on the sensory and motor neurons. there are some reports about the mode of action of deprenyl on motoneurons as a neuroprotective agent, while others believe that deprenyl acts as a neurores...

background ischemic injury of the spinal cord during the surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms might lead to paraplegia. although a number of different mechanisms have been proposed, the exact cause of paraplegia has remained unknown, hampering the development of effective pharmacologic or other strategies for prevention of this condition. a number of studies suggested that cyclo...

background: tumors of the central nervous system (cns) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with different prevalence in different sex and age groups and various parts of cns. objectives: determining the relative frequency of different types of cns tumors in different ages, sex and cns anatomical locations. materials and methods: this retrospective study was performed using pathological repor...

severe combined immunodeficiency is a true pediatric emergency; children with scid were the first patients with immunodeficiencies to be successfully transplanted with unrelated and t-cell-depleted, haploidentical bone marrow. the pattern of inheritance of scid is x-linked and autosomal recessive (ada def, jak3, rag1, rag2, il 7rα). in this case report, we describe a one-year-old boy with b+t- ...

A new mineral species, markascherite (IMA2010-051), ideally Cu3(MoO4)(OH)4, has been found at Copper Creek, Pinal County, Arizona, U.S.A. The mineral is of secondary origin and is associated with brochantite, antlerite, lindgrenite, wulfenite, natrojarosite, and chalcanthite. Markascherite crystals are bladed (elongated along the b axis), up to 0.50 × 0.10 × 0.05 mm. The dominant forms are {001...
