Use of the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS) in the management of nitrous oxide (NO)-induced spinal cord injury.

Nitrous oxide (NO) is an inhaled anaesthetic gas and a popular intoxicant. Excessive recreational use can cause spinal cord myelopathy. Previous studies have discussed the medical management.

Effect of a 7-day acute inpatient neurophysiotherapy service on physiotherapy provision, length of stay, and patient experience.

Rationale, Aims, And Objectives: National policy, guided by research, suggests several patient and service benefits achieved by providing 7-day health care. Therefore, a 7-day inpatient neurophysiotherapy service was introduced at a large teaching hospital in London. The study's aim was to evaluate the effect of the 7-day service on physiotherapy provision, length of stay (LOS), and patient experience.

Cadherin adhesion receptors orient the mitotic spindle during symmetric cell division in mammalian epithelia.

Oriented cell division is a fundamental determinant of tissue organization. Simple epithelia divide symmetrically in the plane of the monolayer to preserve organ structure during epithelial morphogenesis and tissue turnover. For this to occur, mitotic spindles must be stringently oriented in the Z-axis, thereby establishing the perpendicular division plane between daughter cells.
