SPINAL CORD- A CADAVERIC STUDY

Lumbar spinal strains associated with whiplash injury: a cadaveric study.

OBJECTIVES To study and quantify the effects of rear-end collision on the lumbar spine. DESIGN The lumbar spine of a cadaver was instrumented with rosette strain gauges applied on the lateral and anterior surfaces of T12, L2, and L4. Biaxial accelerometers were mounted on L1, L3, and L5. The cadaver was seated, restrained, and subjected to rear impacts of 5g and 8g. RESULTS The anterior she...

Effect of Aspirin on Spinal Cord Injury: An Experimental Study

Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory drug, peroxyl radical scavenger, and antioxidant agent that inhibits phospholipases, nitric oxide synthetases, and cyclooxygenase enzymes. The existing literature contains no studies on the effects of various doses of aspirin on spinal cord injury (SCI). Therefore, we sought to investigate the putative effects of aspirin on experimental SCI.The weight-drop injury...

Anatomic Variations of Brachial Plexus: A Cadaveric Study

Introduction: The brachial plexus is responsible for the innervation to the upper limb and some parts of the thorax. Variations in the branching of the brachial plexus are common and have been reported in 65.3% of the population. The variations (Atypical communication) of brachial plexus have significant clinical and surgical importance. Methods: In this study 10 upper limbs which belonged...
