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 …

✓ In patients with spinal cord injury, the primary or mechanical trauma seldom causes total
transection, even though the functional loss may be complete. In addition, biochemical and …

Studies of experimental spinal cord injury began approximately 100 years ago, and since
then many useful models of acute experimental spinal cord injury have been developed …

✓ The effect of spinal cord trauma on the vasculature and blood flow of the spinal cord is
reviewed. Both quantitative and nonquantitative studies are critically discussed and reasons …

Spinal cord blood flow (SCBF) was measured in dogs before and following acute injury with
300 or 500 g-cm force (GCF). In addition, the responses to high and low PaCO 2 and low …

✓ Spinal cord blood flow (SCBF) was measured in 12 albino rats following acute cord injury
produced by the extradural clip compression technique. Severe injury was produced with …

✓ Blood flow in the lateral funiculus of the thoracic spinal cord was measured in 24
anesthetized cats using the hydrogen clearance method. In a control series of eight …

✓ Focal blood flow was measured in the lateral funiculus and center of the spinal cord in the
rhesus monkey both before and after a 600 gm-cm injury at T-10. Measurements made by …

✓ Posttraumatic spinal cord blood flow (SCBF) was assessed after elevating the mean
systemic arterial pressure (mSAP) with a blood transfusion, or with an infusion of dopamine …

Alterations in lumbar spinal cord white matter blood flow (SCBF) during the initial 4 hours
following contusion injury were examined in cats anesthetized with either dial-urethane or …
