A retrospective case-control study. ⋯ The amplitude of MEPs and frequency of F waves evoked by peripheral nerve stimulation could be helpful in differentiating ALS from CCM.

Basic science study using a hemisection spinal cord injury (SCI) model. ⋯ OPN demonstrates a protective influence against motor function impairment and neuropathic pain following SCI. This phenomenon may result from the proangiogenetic effect of OPN, possibly due to activation of the VEGF and/or AKT pathways.
