Standard analgesic strategies for total knee arthroplasty employ local infiltration analgesia. Blockade and radiofrequency ablation of the genicular nerves are effective treatments for patients with chronic pain because of knee...
With the advent of intraoperative computed tomography (CT) for image guidance, numerous examples of accurate navigation being applied to cranial and spinal pathology have come to light. For spinal disorders, the utilization of...
The clearance of myelin debris is a critical step in the functional recovery following spinal cord injury (SCI). As phagocytes do, microvascular endothelial cells (MECs) participate in myelin debris clearance at the injury site...
The United States is in the midst of an opioid overdose epidemic. Emerging evidence suggests that medical cannabis (MC) may reduce use of opioids for pain in some individuals, with potential impacts on opioid-related overdose....
Lower stiffness of the medial longitudinal arch is reportedly a risk factor for lower leg disorders. The plantar aponeurosis is considered essential to maintaining the medial longitudinal arch. It is therefore expected that...
The adult neocortex is not hard-wired but instead retains the capacity to reorganise across multiple spatial scales long into adulthood. Plastic reorganisation occurs at the level of mesoscopic sensory maps, functional neuronal...
In recent years, a number of emergency department (ED)-based interventions have been developed to provide supports and/or treatment linkage for people who use opioids. However, there is limited research supporting the...
Individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) demonstrate greater postural sway and increased dependency on vision to maintain balance compared to able-bodied individuals. Research on standing balance after iSCI has...
The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway has been reported to play a pivotal role in mediating spinal cord injury (SCI) progression. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of phosphorylated ERK1/2...
The aim of this study was to demonstrate clinical outcomes of intentional coverage of celiac artery (CA) during thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR).MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were searched for studies...
Opioid agonists are used in clinic for pain management, however this application is challenged by development of tolerance and dependence following prolonged exposure. Various approaches have been suggested to address this...
To investigate the availability of any motor unit reserve capacity during fatiguing endurance testing in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).We recorded surface electromyography (sEMG) of various muscles of upper- and...
