Heterogeneity in microstructural deterioration following spinal cord injury

چکیده
Modelling and remodelling adapt bone morphology to accommodate strains commonly encountered during loading. If exceed a threshold threatening fracture, modelling-based formation increases volume reducing these strains. unloading reduces below that inhibits resorption, increased remodelling-based resorption restoring strains, but at the price of compromised microstructure. As weight-bearing regions are adapted greater we hypothesized microstructural deterioration will be more severe than low following spinal cord injury. We quantified distal tibial, fibula radius volumetric mineral density (vBMD) using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography in 31 men, mean age 43.5 years (range 23.5?75.0), 12 with tetraplegia 19 paraplegia 0.7 18.6 duration, 102 healthy age- sex-matched controls. Differences relative controls were expressed as standardized deviation (SD) scores (mean ± SD). Standardized between-region differences vBMD SDs (95% confidence intervals, CI). Relative controls, men had deficits total ?1.72 1.38 SD tibia (p < 0.001) ? 0.68 0.69 = 0.041), not radius, despite paralysis.

Microarchitectural injury is heterogeneous, perhaps partly because strain thresholds regulating cellular activity mechano-transduction region specific.

Vascular dysfunctions following spinal cord injury
The aim of this article is to analyze the vascular dysfunctions occurring after spinal cord injury (SCI). Vascular dysfunctions are common complications of SCI. Cardiovascular disturbances are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both acute and chronic stages of SCI. Neuroanatomy and physiology of autonomic nervous system, sympathetic and parasympathetic, is reviewed. SCI implies di...
متن کاملBody image distortions following spinal cord injury.
BACKGROUND Following spinal cord injury (SCI) or anaesthesia, people may continue to experience feelings of the size, shape and posture of their body, suggesting that the conscious body image is not fully determined by immediate sensory signals. How this body image is affected by changes in sensory inputs from, and motor outputs to, the body remains unclear. METHODS We tested paraplegic and t...
متن کاملTracking Changes following Spinal Cord Injury
Traumatic spinal cord injury is often disabling and recovery of function is limited. As a consequence of damage, both spinal cord and brain undergo anatomical and functional changes. Besides clinical measures of recovery, biomarkers that can detect early anatomical and functional changes might be useful in determining clinical outcome-during the course of rehabilitation and recovery-as well as ...
