Cross-sectional study. ⋯ Results replicate previous findings that perceived injustice is moderately correlated with depression symptoms. However, findings also reveal factors uniquely associated with perceived injustice than with depression symptoms, providing support that these are two separate constructs. Thus, these findings support development of novel interventions targeting perceptions of injustice.

Retrospective cohort study of 82 patients with cervical traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). ⋯ Intramedullary hemorrhage and lesion length assessed from preoperative MRI were predictors of the neurological recovery following cervical TSCI. However, the clinical benefit of these MRI parameters to predict the neurological recovery remains limited when the initial AIS grade is available, confirming that the initial neurological status remains the most important predictor of the neurological outcome.

Comparative Study
Comparison between esophageal and intestinal temperature responses to upper-limb exercise in individuals with spinal cord injury.
Experimental study. ⋯ While not interchangeable, both Teso and Tint are sensitive to elevations in Tcore during arm-cycling exercise in men with paraplegia, although Teso may have superior sensitivity to capture temperature information earlier during exercise.
