Article Synopsis
- The study explored how levels of certain brain metabolites in the periaqueductal gray (PAG) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) relate to impaired pain regulation in individuals with chronic whiplash injury (WHI), especially those experiencing pain (WHI-P).
- Participants with chronic pain (WHI-P) reported higher pain intensity and lower quality of life, while healthy individuals and those without pain showed effective pain modulation; specifically, WHI-P did not demonstrate adequate inhibitory pain control.
- Key findings indicated that specific metabolite ratios in the PAG and ACC could predict the loss of pain modulation in WHI-P individuals, highlighting potential central mechanisms for chronic pain as reflected by brain chemistry changes.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of radiologic images suggestive of urethral diverticula (UD) in men with spinal cord injury (SCI) and to study the interobserver diagnostic reproducibility.
Methods: Radiological studies (i.e.
Introduction: Under the term of acute transverse myelitis (ATM), there are included a heterogeneous group of diseases, with the nexus common to produce an inflammatory focal injury of the spinal cord, of acute form. In order to try to group all the etiologies that can provoke this affectation, it is nowadays tried to define several groups of pathologies with a common nexus: those ATM associated to some process, or at least predisposed of the ATM, like are certain infections, immunological systemic and/or multifocal processes, and inclusive tumors, but when we did not get to know this triggering factor, then calling them idiopathic ATM.
Aim: To know the different classes from existing ATM, creating an algorithm diagnosis that helps to this classification of ordinate form, simplifying the work to the clinicians that faces a ATM, exposing its differential diagnosis, prognosis and possible treatment.
Introduction: We are observing an increase of patients with tuberculosis in Spain. Within the forms of extrapulmonary presentation, the involvement of the central nervous system by the bacillus that cause this disease is a relatively frequent location. Although sometimes is affected the spinal cord of secondary form, rarely is observed isolated involvement.
