Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) has devastating consequences for the physical, social and
vocational well-being of patients. The demographic of SCIs is shifting such that an …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most debilitating of all the traumatic conditions that
afflict individuals. For a number of years, extensive studies have been conducted to clarify …

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) has widespread physiological effects beyond the
disruption of sensory and motor function, notably the loss of normal autonomic and …

A complex interaction exists between the nervous and cardiovascular systems. A large
network of cortical and subcortical brain regions control cardiovascular function via the …

The aim of this paper is to give an overview of acute complications of spinal cord injury
(SCI). Along with motor and sensory deficits, instabilities of the cardiovascular …

Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) is a debilitating disease that poses significant functional
and economic burden on both the individual and societal levels. Prognosis is dependent on …

Our understanding of the pathophysiological processes that comprise the early secondary
phases of spinal cord injury such as spinal cord ischemia, cellular excitotoxicity, ionic …

The spinal cord is a conduit within the central nervous system (CNS) that provides ongoing
communication between the brain and the rest of the body, conveying complex sensory and …

Significant vascular changes occur subsequent to spinal cord injury (SCI), which contribute
to progressive pathophysiology. In the present study, we used female Wistar rats (300–350 …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results not only in motor and sensory deficits but also in autonomic
dysfunctions. The disruption of connections between higher brain centers and the spinal …
