Spinal codes
Spinal codes are a new class of rateless codes that enable wireless networks to cope with time-varying channel conditions in a natural way, without requiring any explicit bit rate selection. The key idea in the code is the sequential application of a pseudo-random hash function to the message bits, …

Cerebro-spinal fever
Cerebro-spinal Fever is a specific infectious disease. • The causative organism is the Diplococcus Intracellularis of Tiech.salbaum, con :only known as the Meningococcus. • This organism. is carried .in the throats of apparently health- persons, who are known as "Carriers." • An epidemic of …

Spinal interneurons in sensorimotor integration
Even though spinal cord research has expanded enormously during the past decades, we still lack a precise understanding of how spinal interneuron networks perfectly integrate sensory feedback with motor control, and how these neuron circuits give rise to specific functions. The present study thus …

Present position of spinal analgesia
… of a still more wonderful development, viz: Spinal Analgesia. So, impi-essed was I by the remarkable accounts of the operations which Mr. Caird had recently seen performed under' Spinal Analgesia, by Bier in Germany, that I determined, should the occasion arise to give the method a tx'ial. It …

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 …

Polymer Composite Spinal Disc Implants
… of which no current total disc replacement or spinal fusion surgery can offer. For this study, the spinal disc was separated into its three different components, the annulus fibrosus, the nucleus pulposus, and the vertebral endplates, each playing a vital role in the function of the disc. Two …

Automated Manufacture of Spinal Instrumentation
… prototype that would automate the manufacture of spinal instrumentation rods. The Spinal Instrumentation Bending Prototype (SIBP) focused on ease of use, time of manufacture, and accuracy. In order to complete the manufacturing process, the current SIBP uses a set of three dimensional control …

The impact of spinal stabilization exercises on pain, disability, and physical functional after lumbar spinal fusion
Lumbar spinal fusion (LSF) surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures for degeneration of the lumbar spine. Though minimally invasive surgical techniques have been developed in an attempt to reduce muscle injury, some damage is unavoidable. Research on postoperative rehabilitation has …

The effects of body fat percentage on inter-vertebral spinal mobility control from hyperextension spinal orthoses
Hyperextension spinal orthoses are common modalities in treating vertebralfractures. Their objective is to retain the spine in a hyperextended position tooffload the fractured vertebra(e) and allow healing. To date, accurate insight intothe efficiency of hyperextension spinal orthoses is absent. In …

The pathophysiology of spinal muscular atrophy
… and pathophysiology of motor dysfunction in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) using clinical, epidemiological, neurophysiological and genetic studies. Natural history studies confirmed the unique clinical course, atypical for a neurodegenerative disease, in which progression appeared most rapid …

Spinal cord implants for nerve regeneration
… that 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
… effectiveness 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.

Integrating spinal codes into wireless systems
Rateless spinal codes [47] promise performance gains for future wireless systems. These gains can be realized in the form of higher data rates, longer operational ranges, reduced power consumption, and greater reliability. This is due in part to the manner in which rateless codes exploit the …

Characterisation and modelling of spinal facet joints
The spinal facet joints are known to be an important component in the kinematics of the spine and play a role in the load transmission through the spinal vertebrae. Due to the high level of mobility and the large forces influencing the facet joint, it can develop significant degenerative changes …

Spinal cord plasticity in peripheral inflammatory pain
… I 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 …

Positional Coordinates for Spinal Sensory-Motor Connectivity
… with which sensory axons form connections with spinal motor neurons drives coordinated motor behavior. The precise profile of monosynaptic sensory-motor connectivity has been suggested to have its origins in the recognition of motor neuron subtypes by group Ia sensory afferents. Here I present …
