Cord-Reinforced Cylindrical Shells
… for the displacements from the loads on a cord-reinforced cylindrical shell. The load-deformation relations are developed by considering the mechanics of the matrix, the cords, and the shell. The matrix is modeled using the generalized Hooke's law for an isotropic linear-elastic material. …

Adult neoplastic spinal cord compression
Spinal cord compression ( SCC ) constitutes a neurological emergency, and if left untreated, can result in permanent irreversible neurological dysfunction. Disabilities can range from mild weakness to complete quadriplegia with the inherent associated mental, physical and emotional suffering .The …

Static response of cord composite plates
Wire rope reinforced composites have many technologically important applications. These composites are used in automobile tires, conveyer belts, and various military components. This particular combination of materials is especially effective when the composite material needs to be strong in …

Spinal cord implants for nerve regeneration
… the potential for regeneration in the spinal cord became accepted. However, there is still no proven method for enabling this regeneration. An implant model was developed to help aid in repair, recovery, and regeneration in the spinal cord following spinal cord injury (SCI). This is a …

Spinal cord regression via collagen entubulation
… of the dorsal barrier in promoting spinal cord regeneration. Overall, the combination of wrap membrane and dorsal barrier (Group V) proved most effective in creating a hospitable environment for regenerative success.

Timing of cord clamping (TOCC): An observational study of cord clamping practice in a New Zealand maternity hospital
BACKGROUND: When an umbilical cord is left unclamped after birth, a significant proportion of the blood from the placenta flows into the newborn, contributing to approximately one-quarter of total potential blood volume. The routine intervention of immediate cord clamping was introduced as part of …

Improving differential diagnosis of vocal cord dysfunction
… in the literature to differentiate vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) from breathing difficulties of other etiologies accurately predict and identify patients who have VCD. The researchers were also interested in whether patients with VCD have a higher risk of misdiagnosis than patients with …

Spinal cord plasticity in peripheral inflammatory pain
… neurokinin 1 receptor expressing (NK1R+) spinal cord output neurons are crucial for the manifestation of inflammatory pain. There is also evidence that the afferent input to and the postsynaptic response of these neurons may be altered in inflammatory pain, which could be relevant for …

Large-deflection analysis of cord composite plates
Cord composites, which are constructed by embedding cords in a rubber matrix, have been used in industry for many years. This type of composite is strong in extension in the cord direction but very flexible with regard to bending. Previous studies in predicting the elastic constants of wire cord …

The Role of PTF1A in Spinal Cord Development
… neurons in both the cerebellum and the spinal cord dorsal horn. A null mutation in Ptf1a reveals its requirement for the dorsal horn GABAergic neurons. Specifically, PTF1a is required for the generation of early born (dI4, E10.5) and late born (dILA, E12.5) dorsal interneuron populations …

Characterizing motor control signals in the spinal cord
… signals generated in the brain and spinal cord for the control of motor function in the forearms. The nature of the central command signal has been debated for many decades with only limited progress. This thesis presents a project that investigated this problem using novel techniques. Rats …

Promoting bridging axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury
… regeneration when transplanted into spinal cord lesions. In the first chapter of Results (chapter 3) we aimed to determine the potential of OEC transplantation in promoting axonal regeneration beyond the injury. This was investigated by producing a transection of the dorsal columns at the …

Altered cord blood biomarkers in neonatal brain injury
… biochemical measurements. The umbilical cord blood (UCB) can give a snapshot of both the newborn and the in-utero environment. It is non-invasive to both mother and infant and contains microRNA (miRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA) and circulating proteins that can exist stably in the …
