Introduction: Despite the relatively low prevalence of metastatic cervical spinal tumor, these entities give rise to more profound complications than thoracic and lumbar spinal tumor. However, it is regrettable that experimental investigation has thus far shown a dearth of attention to metastatic cervical spinal tumor.
Research Question: What is the conceptualization and realization of quadriparesis resulting from metastatic cervical spinal tumor?
Material And Methods: Using Fischer 344 rats as the experimental cohort, this study orchestrated the engraftment of tumor cells procured from the 13762 MAT B III cell line (RRID: CVCL_3475), which represents mammary adenocarcinoma.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is neuroanatomical validation of forelimb motor function restoration in rats with cervical spinal cord injury.
Materials And Methods: We used eight cervical hemisected rats and eight normal rats. We cut in half the C3/4 cervical spinal cord of 18-weeks-old normal rats.
The objective of this study was to electrophysiologically assess the corticospinal tracts of adult rats and the recovery of motor function of their forelimbs after cervical cord hemisection. Of 39 adult rats used, compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) of the forelimbs of 15 rats were evaluated, before they received left C5 segmental hemisection of the spinal cord, by stimulating the pyramid of the medulla oblongata on one side using an exciting microelectrode. All 15 rats exhibited contralateral electrical activity, but their CMAPs disappeared after hemisection.

Purpose: To compare pre- and postoperative standing balance and posture in patients with ASD.
Study Design/setting: This study is a prospective case series.
