NINDS: A spinal cord injury usually begins with a sudden, traumatic blow to the spine that fractures or dislocates vertebrae. The
damage begins at the moment of injury when displaced bone fragments, disc material, or ligaments bruise or tear into spinal
cord tissue. Most injuries to the spinal cord don't completely sever it. Instead, an injury is more likely to cause fractures
and compression of the vertebrae, which then crush and destroy axons -- extensions of nerve cells that carry signals up and
down the spinal cord between the brain and the rest of the body. An injury to the spinal cord can damage a few, many, or almost
all of these axons. Some injuries will allow almost complete recovery. Others will result in complete paralysis.31
MalaCards: Spinal Cord Injury, also known as spinal cord injuries, is related to orthostatic hypotension and myelomeningocele. An important gene associated with Spinal Cord Injury is NENF (neudesin neurotrophic factor), and among its related pathways are Apoptosis and Autophagy and Colorectal cancer. The compounds glucose and citrate have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include bone marrow, brain and spinal cord, and related mouse phenotypes are respiratory system and renal/urinary system. MedlinePlus: Spinal cord injuries usually begin with a blow that fractures or dislocates your vertebrae, the bone disks that make up your spine. most injuries don't sever your spinal cord. instead, they cause damage when pieces of vertebrae tear into cord tissue or press down on the nerve parts that carry signals. in a complete spinal cord injury, the cord can't relay messages below the level of the injury. as a result, you are paralyzed below the level of injury. in an incomplete injury, you have some movement and sensation below the injury. a spinal cord injury is a medical emergency. immediate treatment can reduce long-term effects. later treatment usually includes medicine and rehabilitation therapy. nih: national institute of neurological disorders and stroke23 Wikipedia: A spinal cord injury (SCI) refers to any injury to the spinal cord that is caused by trauma instead of...44 more... |
