Objective(s): Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury of spinal cord is leading to the paraplegia observed. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of the saffron extract on spinal cord I/R injury. Materials and Methods: Thirty five male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups: intact, sham surgery, normal saline (NS), low dose saffron aqua extract, high dose saffron aqua extract....

background and aim: although nuchal cord is a common occurrence at birth, there is little attention to its importance or management at birth, and teaching includes premature clamping and cutting of the cord as the common option.  although grade 1 evidence is lacking, the optimal management of the nuchal cord,  the somersault manoeuvre  is not taught or included in any current guidelines. what e...

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...

stem cell therapy can be useful for spinal cord injury (sci). induced pluripotent stem cells (ipscs) are generated by reprogramming mature, fully differentiated cells into a pluripotent state. the ability to generate pluripotent cells from adult somatic cells without the need for an embryo was a major development in stem cell biology. ipscs were established from mouse fibroblasts and demonstrat...

objective(s) recent studies revealed the neuroprotective effects of epigallocatechin gallate (egcg) on a variety of neural injury .the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of egcg on the tissue lipid peroxidation after spinal cord injury (sci). materials and methods rats were randomly divided into four groups of 7 rats each as follows: sham-operated group, trauma group, and egcg-t...

A spinal cord injury is an uncommon discovery in a clay-shoveler’s fracture. Multiple syncope could be caused by bradycardia which followed injury. These combination findings adds its rarity. This case report aim to share awareness among physicians of the rare complication and management. descriptive also narratively review other literature. Physicians should aware SCIWORA (Spinal Cord Injury W...

Introduction : Gingival retraction is the withdrawal of marginal gingiva away from tooth. This procedure creates a space between prepared tooth and gingival tissues to catch more fine details impression material. The most common device used in clinical practice cord. Aim study aims evaluate tensile strength cords designed with different braiding technology. Materials methods A total 150 experim...

Introduction. To investigate the effect of complex umbilical cord entanglement primarily around the trunk on pregnancy outcomes. Methods. We studied 6307 pregnant women with singleton pregnancies who underwent vaginal delivery of an infant at ≥37 weeks of gestation. Cases were classified into no cord, nuchal cord, and body cord groups and defined as cases without umbilical cord entanglement, on...

We often see entangled cords in our daily life. Entangled cords need to be resolved and put in order to handle them conveniently or to keep their quality in a good situation. In order to resolve an entangled cord, mutual relation must be made clear in advance among areas of the cord. In this paper, a technique is presented for analyzing mutual connection among the areas of an entangled cord. A ...
