A Computational, Tissue-Realistic Model of Pressure Ulcer Formation in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
People with spinal cord injury (SCI) are predisposed to pressure ulcers (PU). PU remain a significant burden in cost of care and quality of life despite improved mechanistic understanding and advanced interventions. An agent-based model (ABM) of ischemia/reperfusion-induced inflammation and PU (the PUABM) was created, calibrated to serial images of post-SCI PU, and used to investigate potential...
متن کاملMaximum Inspiratory Pressure is a Discriminator of Pneumonia in Individuals With Spinal-Cord Injury.
BACKGROUND Respiratory complications remain a major cause of mortality among individuals with spinal-cord injury (SCI). The present study investigated whether respiratory function is a discriminator of pneumonia in individuals with SCI and is aimed to determine the best predictive parameter. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study. Individuals with traumatic SCI, level C3 to T12, comple...
متن کاملPOST-TRAUMATIC CHRONIC SPINAL CORD INJURY: ASSESSMENT WITH MRI
The initial experience concerning the use of magnetic resonance imaging in 94 patients who had sustained chronic cord injury showed its specific advantages over traditional imaging modalities. A variety of 84 cord abnormalities were identified including myelomalacia in 47%, cord cysts in 37%, focal atrophy in 11 % and cord transection in 5%. Canal stenosis was seen in twenty-five patients, ...
متن کاملFactors associated with pressure ulcer risk in spinal cord injury rehabilitation.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify patient and clinical factors most strongly associated with a spinal cord injury patient's risk for developing a pressure ulcer (PU) during rehabilitation. DESIGN This is a prospective observational cohort study conducted at an urban rehabilitation hospital-based specialized spinal cord injury center. The main outcome measure was the onset of a s...
متن کاملExpansion Duroplasty Improves Intraspinal Pressure, Spinal Cord Perfusion Pressure, and Vascular Pressure Reactivity Index in Patients with Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury: Injured Spinal Cord Pressure Evaluation Study
We recently showed that, after traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI), laminectomy does not improve intraspinal pressure (ISP), spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP), or the vascular pressure reactivity index (sPRx) at the injury site sufficiently because of dural compression. This is an open label, prospective trial comparing combined bony and dural decompression versus laminectomy. Twenty-one pa...
