Spinal cord
-
Retrospective cohort study. ⋯ This study was granted by the 'Internationale Stiftung für Forschung in Paraplegie' (IFP), Zürich, Switzerland.
-
Retrospective cohort study. ⋯ The characteristics of workplace TSCI are specific to this population. It is important therefore to develop prevention programs for specific work-related TSCI.

Multicenter Study
Extent of spontaneous motor recovery after traumatic cervical sensorimotor complete spinal cord injury.
Retrospective, longitudinal analysis of motor recovery data from individuals with cervical (C4-C7) sensorimotor complete spinal cord injury (SCI) according to the International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI). ⋯ Careful tracking of cervical motor recovery outcomes may provide the necessary sensitivity and accuracy to reliably detect a subtle, but meaningful treatment effect after sensorimotor complete cervical SCI. The distribution of the UEMS change may be more important functionally than the total UEMS recovered.

Multicenter Study
SCIM III is reliable and valid in a separate analysis for traumatic spinal cord lesions.
A multi-center international cohort study. ⋯ The results confirm the reliability and validity of SCIM III for patients with traumatic SCLs in a number of countries.

Case Reports Comparative Study
Cervical MRI of subacute myelo-optico-neuropathy.
Case study. ⋯ Although fainter, the abnormal T2 MRI signals we observed were similar to and occurred in the same locations as those reported in copper-deficient myelo-neuropathy patients. We suggest that these findings are useful to study the mechanism of clioquinol toxicity before using it to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
