Promoting bridging axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury
… axonal 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 …

Spinal Cord Injury, Life Stage and Leisure Satisfaction
… of age at onset of disability (in this case, spinal cord injury) and time-span since onset of disability as potential predictors of post trauma leisure satisfaction. Specifically, through utilization of a multi-dimensional measure of leisure satisfaction, incorporating cognitive, affective and …

The Life Pattern of People with Spinal Cord Injury
… "What is the Life Pattern of the Person with Spinal Cord Injury?" The unitary appreciative inquiry design, which has conceptualized through Rogers' (1986) science of unitary human beings, provided an approach for understanding the phenomenon in the context of human wholeness. The data, …

Roles of NF-kB in spinal cord injury pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of spinal cord injury (SCI) is characterized by multiple locomotor and sensory deficits, as well as chronic pain arising partly from significant cell loss at and around the injury site. Implicated in multiple biochemical pathways affected after SCI is the transcription factor …

Perceived learning needs for rehabilitation following spinal cord injury
… to investigate whether there was a difference in spinal cord injured patients’ perceptions of their own learning needs in rehabilitation and rehabilitation nurses’ perceptions of the SCI patients’ learning needs. The study was a replication of Donlon’s (1983) study which assessed learning needs of …

Coping effectiveness training for people with spinal cord injury
… and enhancing adaptive coping following spinal cord injury. The Coping Effectiveness Training programme developed is a group-based seven session long intervention. It is grounded on the cognitive theory of stress and coping developed by Lazarus and Folkman (1984) and represents an …

Mapping of Cortical Motor Reorganization in Spinal Cord Injury
<p>The annual incidence of spinal cord injury (SCI), not including those who die at the scene of the accident, is approximately 10,000 new cases in the United States. SCI, in its best outcome, may partially and temporarily disconnect the spinal cord from the brain. Some neuronal pathways remain …

Paw Print Gait Analysis in Rats with Spinal Cord Injury
Recovery of locomotion following spinal cord injury (SCI) in the rat may be tracked by different approaches to gait analysis, such as open field locomotor scoring and automated paw print analysis. Until recently, both of these approaches allowed the animal to walk at a self-selected speed. To …

Independence through Patient Education in a Spinal Cord Injury Population
… developed because the population of people with Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) includes a substantial number of young people, who often readmit into hospitals for preventable causes such as pressure ulcers, respiratory infections, and bowel/bladder infections. These complications can be avoided …

Regulation of Oligodendrogenesis in a Rat Contusive Spinal Cord Injury
… hamper functional recovery following traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). Although proliferating glial progenitor cells (GPCs) are present in the lesioned spinal cord, spontaneous remyelination is extremely limited. The failure of remyelination after SCI may be due to inadequate signaling to …

Resilience Profile Among People with Spinal Cord Injury: A Cluster Analysis
… people adjusting from trauma and loss such as spinal cord injury. Resilience has been found that it has moderate to high correlations with multiple psychosocial characters such as coping strategies, spiritual belief, and life satisfaction as well as mental health. However it is unclear if …

Roles of interleukin-1 beta in glutamate-induced spinal cord injury
… release contributes to the impairments caused by spinal cord injury (SCI). This study addresses the mechanisms of glutamate toxicity involving activation of interleukin-1â (IL-1â). To assess the effects of glutamate on IL-1â and its natural blocking agent interleukin-1 receptor antagonist …

Role of BCL-XL in cell death after spinal cord injury
Long term functional impairment after rat spinal cord injury (SCI) results from secondary apoptosis regulated in part, by SCI-induced decreases in protein levels of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xL. In this dissertation, I assessed the role that Bcl-xL subcellular re-routing and post-translational …

Alterations in brain connectivity after spinal cord injury using functional MRI
… per million of inhabitants are inflicted by Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). The long-term impairment of the SCI patients has led researchers to investigate different rehabilitation and treatment efforts that require careful observations to be made on reliable markers. Presently, a number of …

Neural and Behavioural Consequences of Chronic Inflammation following Spinal Cord Injury
… several neural/behavioural disorders following spinal cord injury (SCI) including depression, cognitive impairment, neuropathic pain, and somatic nerve deficits. Ample evidence exists to suggest that the immune system communicates with, and influences the nervous system both centrally and …

Collagen scaffolds in full- and hemi- resection spinal cord injury models
… of regeneration following the initial traumatic injury and secondary injury response in the adult spinal cord. These factors include both intrinsic limitations in the regeneration capacity of mature neurons, but also a host of environmental factors which inhibit spontaneous attempts of axon …

Multi Spectral Data Analysis for Diagnostic Enhancement of Pediatric Spinal Cord Injury
A key challenge in the imaging of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients is the ability to accurately determine structural or functional abnormality as well as level and severity of injury. Over the years a substantial number of studies have addressed this issue, however most of them utilized …
