Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in young adults and children, and is a leading public health problem worldwide. In TBI, neurological impairment is caused by immediate brain tissue disruption (primary injury) and post‑injury cellular and molecular events (secondary injury) that exacerbate the primary neurological insult. However, the destructi...

Traumatic spinal cord injury is one of the important causes of disability.in some of vertebral fractures,spinal canal is deformed and compromised.the relationship between the shape of the cervical canal and spinal cord hnjury has been proved but such a correlation for thoraculombar spine 50 patients with compromised canal(cases) and 50 oatients with intact canal were evaluated in the light of s...

This article presents and discusses a long-term repeated-immersion research process that explores meaning allocated to an episode of 50 seconds of music improvisation in early neurosurgical rehabilitation by a teenage boy with severe traumatic brain injury and his music therapist. The process began with the original therapy session in August 1994 and extends to the current time of writing in 20...

Introduction: Various neuroregenerative procedures have been recently employed along with neurorehabilitation programs to promote neurological function after Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), and recently most of them have focused on the acute stage of spinal cord injury. In this report, we present a case of acute SCI treated with neuroprotective treatments in conjunction with conventional reha...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a complex disease that affects not only sensory and motor pathways below the neurological level of (NLI) but also all organs systems situated this NLI. This multisystem impairment implies comprehensive management in dedicated SCI specialized centers, by interdisciplinary multidisciplinary teams, able to treat impairment, affected. After brief history Cord Medicine, a...

recent studies in animal models indicate that recombinant human erythropoietin (rhepo) is very effective in enhancing neurological recovery after spinal cord injury (sci). we aimed to evaluate the effect of rhepo plus methylprednisolone sodium succinate (mpss) compared to mpss alone to improve neurological function of patients after sci in a randomized clinical trial. during a 15-month period 3...
