Delayed deterioration of neurological function after central nervous system ischemia is a
well-documented clinical problem. The purpose of our study was to elucidate the role of …

We studied a highly reproducible spinal cord model of focal central nervous system
ischemia produced by occlusion of the abdominal aorta in the rabbit just below the renal …

Background and Purpose—Spinal cord ischemia with resulting paraplegia is a devastating
complication of thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. Experimental models of spinal cord …

Study Design. An in vivo study to measure rat spinal cord blood flow in real-time at the site of
compression using a newly developed device. Objectives. To evaluate the change in …

The effects of spinal cord ischemia on spinal cord blood flow (SCBF) and somatosensory
(SSEP) and motor (MEP) evoked potentials were investigated in a rabbit model of reversible …

To characterize the behavioral and histopathological changes that occur in spinal cord after
transient ischemia, reversible occlusion of the descending aorta was achieved in the …

Spinal cord injury produces prominent disruption of the blood‐spinal cord barrier. We have
defined the blood‐spinal cord barrier breakdown to the protein luciferase (61 kDa) in the …

✓ Spinal cord blood flow (SCBF) was measured in 24 rhesus monkeys after injury to the
cord produced by the inflatable circumferential extradural cuff technique. Measurement of …

The long-term effects of spinal cord ischemia were studied in 21 rats by lesion scores (LS,
n= 21), somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP, n= 16), electromyographic measurements …

Thereis experimental evidence that after the primary mechanical injury, the spinal cord
suffers a secondary injury. Of the several postulated mechanisms of secondary injury, the …
