candida glabrata was thought to be a primarily non-pathogenic organism. however, with the ever-increasing population of immunocompromised individuals, it is considered to be an opportunistic pathogen. patients with spinal cord injuries often using a long-term urinary catheter and are high risk for urinary tract infections. this case report describes a patient with spinal cord injury (thoracic r...

traffic accident has increased in the last decade. one of the most important outcomes of accident is spinal cord injury (sci). so, cell therapy is obtained a greater attention in most fields of medicine because of its potential for incurable diseases through replacing of dead cells. the current study aims to describe the important of locomotor functional and structural connection of the spinal ...

polyphenols have been shown to have some of the neuroprotective effects against neurodegenerative diseases. these effects are attributed to a variety of biological activities, including free radical scavenging/antioxidant and anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic activities. in this regard, many efforts have been made to study the effects of various well-known dietary polyphenols on spinal cord ...

objective(s):spinal cord injury (sci) is one of the most serious clinical diseases and its treatment has been a subject of interest to researchers. there are two important therapeutic strategies in the treatment of sci: replacing lost tissue cells through cells implantation and scar elimination. therefore, in this study we used human adipose-derived stem cells (hadscs) implantation and injectio...

Purpose: Spinal cord injury is a global public health issue that results in extensive neuronal degeneration, axonal and myelin loss and severe functional deficits. Neurotrophic factors are potential treatment for reducing secondary damage, promoting axon growth, and are responsible for inducing myelination after injury. Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) and minocycline have been shown to promo...

Background: Neutrophil infiltration plays an important role in inflammatory reactions following spinal cord injury (SCI) and these cells cause substantial secondary tissue damage. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of oleuropein (OE) on myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity as an index of neutrophil infiltration. Methods: Rats were randomly divided into four groups of 7 rats each as...

background : spinal injury can establish severe psychological outcomes for the patient and his/her family which requires high adjustment. health system staff would be able to play their roles well in caring from these patients provided with knowing what steps spinal injured people should pass to handle their disability and also what assistance they need in what stages from what sources. this st...
