Numerous studies in animals have shown the unique property of olfactory ensheathing cells
to stimulate regeneration of lesioned axons in the spinal cord. In a Phase I clinical trial, we …

Treatment of patients sustaining a complete spinal cord injury remains an unsolved clinical
problem because of the lack of spontaneous regeneration of injured central axons. A 38-year-…

Background Vertebroplasty carries multiple complications due to the leakage of
polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) into the venous system through the iliolumbar or epidural veins. The …

Background. Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) is a new technique for
imaging of the brain and is used with increasing frequency during neurosurgical operations, …

According to up-to-date knowledge only mathematical modelling of the spinal cord injury (SCI)
may provide real insight into a spatial location of the fields of the spinal cord mechanical …

Background Few studies exist on the mechanical properties of denticulate ligaments and none
report the variation in these properties at different levels of the spine. The aim of this study …

A formulation of a defined antigen dosage together with an appropriate and convenient
immunisation regime are the main problems of a plant-derived oral vaccine against HBV. Both …

Objective The prognosis in cervical spinal cord injury is poor, and surgical and neurointensive
care management need further improvement. Monitoring of the intraspinal pressure (ISP) …
