Multifunctional biomimetic spinal cord: New approach to repair spinal cord injuries
The incidence of spinal cord injury (SCI) has been gradually increasing, and the treatment has troubled the medical field all the time. Primary and secondary injuries ultimately lead to nerve impulse conduction block. Microglia and astrocytes excessively accumulate and proliferate to form the glial scar. At present, to reduce the effect of glial scar on nerve regeneration is a hot spot in the r...
متن کاملTraumatic Spinal Cord Injuries Due to Motor Vehicle Accidents
Background and Aim: Spine trauma is an important health problem. Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) due to Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) might have a different epidemiologic pattern in Guilan province of Iran owing to its geographical characteristics. Therefore, the present study was conducted to the study epidemiology of SCI injuries due to road accidents in a trauma referral center in Guilan. ...
متن کاملSpinal cord injuries.
A recent article by Dr Robert Heimburger in the Journal was titled, “Is there hope for return of function in lower extremities paralyzed by spinal cord injury?” This question can be answered by showing that innovative attempts are currently being pursued in the hope, as requested by Dr Heimburger, to improve the neurologic results of patients who tragically sustain a spinal cord injury (SCI). D...
متن کاملBridging spinal cord injuries
One strategy for spinal cord injury repair is to make cellular bridges that support axon regeneration. However, the bridging cells often fail to integrate with host tissue and may lead to increased pain sensitivity. Recent work has tested bridging with two forms of progenitor-derived astrocyte. One type integrates, suppresses scar formation and promotes axon regeneration, whereas another very s...
متن کاملHealing Spinal Cord Injuries
Unlike those in the periphery, nerve fibers in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) do not recover from traumatic injury. This makes disabilities from spinal cord damage permanent, with the severity depending on the location of the cord injury. Neck injuries can paralyze the torso and limbs, while lower back injuries can impair movement below the waist. The spinal cord is a bundle...
