Disc replacement innovation will likely be more customized and integrate biologics, Ehsan Jazini, MD, said. Dr. Jazini, who was the first in the U.S. to combine Centinel Spine’s prodisc C-Nova and ...

D bioprinted nerve tissues offer new hope for ALS drug testing. Uppsala team creates motor neuron organoids from patient cells.

New research suggests that electrical spinal cord stimulation could improve muscle function for patients who have spinal muscle atrophy, even restoring the capability to walk.

(B) 3D reconstruction of a z-stack taken from a Thy1-YFP x Cx3Cr1-GFP double transgenic mouse spinal cord; vessels were labeled with i.v. injection of Qtracker TM 655 red-emitting quantum dots.

Introduction Lung isolation is primarily accomplished using a double-lumen tube (DLT) or bronchial blocker. A precise and accurate size of the DLT is a prerequisite for ensuring its accurate placement ...

Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) could benefit from a future treatment to repair nerve connections using red and near-infrared light.

A recent Four Corners episode questioned the use of surgically implanted devices called spinal cord stimulators for chronic back pain. Here’s what the evidence says.

Researchers are looking into cutting-edge treatments for spinal cord injuries that may restore movement in people who have experienced paralysis for decades.

MCAM employs a synchronized array of 54 lenses to capture high-speed 3D topographic videos over a 135-sqaure-centimeter area, achieving an imaging speed of up to 230 frames per second. The resulting ...

Methods that stimulate the spine with electrodes promise to improve the lives of people with spinal cord injuries, in ways that go well beyond walking.

In this paper, we propose a system that integrates vertebrae, spinal cord and nerves segmentation results from STIR-MRI and CT images, by estimating the transformation relationship between the ...
