Abstract:

Metastatic epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC) occurs when tumour invades the epidural space and compresses the spinal cord. Despite Level 1 evidence that surgery is the most effective treatment for MESCC, there is controversy regarding the role of surgery because of fear that patients who have a short survival will spend a large fraction of their remaining life recovering from surgery and potential complications. This controversy could be resolved by decision-analysis of MESCC treatments using quality-adjusted-life-years (QALYs). There have been two barriers to conducting decision-a

Abstract:

Neurons in the spinal cord do not spontaneously regenerate, which often leads to debilitating injuries. One method proposed to promote axonal regeneration is the injection of viruses carrying genes for growth factors into the injured spinal cord. One such virus, the adeno-associated virus (AAV), has shown promise in gene therapy medical research. However, injecting AAV into rhesus macaques with C7 spinal cord hemisection lesions actually leads to motor neuron loss in the gray matter of the spinal cord, rather than contributing to the preservation or regeneration of axons. This unexpected resul

Abstract:

Spinal cord injury causes the partial or total loss of the anatomical and functional continuity of the spinal cord tissue, leading to the damage of the organs controlled by nerves that branch off downstream the injury. This thesis analyses the mechanics of two possible treatments based on two different approaches: intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS) and tissue engineering. These two approaches have a common rationale, the delivery of electrical stimuli to the injured spinal cord. In the literature, the feasibility of the electrodes for ISMS is often limited to the analysis of stiffness. The me

Abstract:

Chronic pain has a large individual and societal impact. Although effective treatments for acute pain exist, a specific and effective treatment for chronic pain is still to be discovered. Recent use of genetic techniques has revealed that spinal ATP plays a role in the generation of allodynia and hyperalgesia, two symptoms of chronic pain. Furthermore, it has been shown that the symptoms of chronic pain can be alleviated by increasing spinal levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10). These observations suggest that decreasing the spinal release of ATP and increasin

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results from a mechanical <i>primary injury</i> that is followed by a multifactorial <i>secondary injury</i> which worsens the clinical course. Persistent inflammation is a crucial event during the secondary injury. Indeed, microglia/macrophage respond to traumatic stimuli by adopting an activated phenotype, which has a dual role. An M1 phenotype, associated with harmful effects, is expressed very early and persists for a long time in the injured site, whereas M2, associated with a beneficial phenotype, has only a transient expression in a subacute phase of the trauma.

It commonly affects adults over the age of 50 years and causes upper extremity numbness, loss of hand dexterity, gait disturbances, and decreased proprioception.
