background: finding the safe location of spinal cord for cerebrospinal fluid (csf) during surgical procedures is very important due to its various nature for each patient as well as its potential peripheral nervous system hazards. the aim of this study was to find the relationship between the location of conus medullaris (cm) and gender, age and body mass index (bmi) in order to minimize the po...

a spinal cord injury (sci) refers to any injury to the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal that is caused by trauma instead of disease often causes permanent changes in strength, sensation and other body functions below the site of the injury. road traffic collision (rtc) or car crash occurs when a vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, animal, road debris, or other...

obesity is one of the most prevalent diet-related problems and increases the risk for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, atherosclerosis and dyslipidemia. cardio vascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in spinal cord injury (sci) patients. increased fat mass has also been identified as an important risk factor in chronic sci and weight management is recommended as a key cardi...

abstract introduction: cardiovascular fitness as the ability of the system - respiratory and skeletal muscle to achieve a certain level of activity is defined as, where after spinal cord injury can be reduced through exercise can increase this capacity. objective: the objective of this study, veterans with spinal cord injury spirometric indices in various athletic sports (archery, wheelchairran...

bone loss after spinal cord injury leads to increased fragility of bone and subsequent risk for low-trauma fractures in the sublesional parts of the body . although in such injuries upper limbs are normally innervated, bone loss may occur in the upper extremities. the present study was designed to determine the systemic effects of spinal cord injury on the fracture healing of upper limbs in rab...

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...

one of the most important factors responsible for axonal degeneration following spinal cord trauma is ischemia produced by cord compression. previous studies have revealed that omental transposition upon the injured site of the spinal cord could be beneficial in the induction of partial improvement of neuroelectrical and motor function in laboratory animals. the purpose of this study is to veri...

introduction: electrophysiologycal histological methods were for studing the anatomical distribution of group i and ii muscle afferent in the lumbosacral segments of wistar rat spinal cord. material and methods: quadriceps, deep proneal, hamestring, gastrocnemius-soleus, tibialis posterior, plantaris, flexor digitorum longus and popliteus muscle nerves were dissected and mounted on surface elec...
