Recovery of neurologic function following nontraumatic spinal cord lesions in Israel.
Spine (Phila Pa 1976)
October 2004
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objective: To assess neurologic recovery and the manner in which it is affected by various factors following nontraumatic spinal cord lesions (NTSCLs).
Summary Of Background Data: NTSCLs comprise a considerable portion of spinal cord lesions.
Objective: To assess survival in patients with nontraumatic spinal cord lesions (SCL).
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Spinal department at a rehabilitation hospital in Israel.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of fibromyalgia (FM) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).
Subjects: The study included 100 consecutive unselected patients with DM attending our diabetes clinic. Patients were divided into two groups: 45 patients with type 1 diabetes and 55 patients with type 2 diabetes.
Background: Survival following spinal cord injury (SCI) has greatly improved since the unsuccessful attempts to repair the damaged spinal cord were replaced by systematic prevention and treatment of complications caused by the neural damage.
Objective: To evaluate the main outcome measures in patients with spinal cord injury.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study was conducted.
Objective: To assess neurologic recovery and the manner in which it is affected by the severity of the neurologic damage after spinal cord injury.
Summary Of Background Data: Studies from various countries, but not from Israel, have shown considerable potential for recovery of the damaged human spinal cord.
