Study Design: Delayed diagnosis of degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is associated with reduced quality of life and greater disability. Developing diagnostic criteria for DCM has been identified as a top research priority.
Objectives: This scoping review aims to address the following questions: What is the diagnostic accuracy and frequency of clinical symptoms in patients with DCM?
Methods: A scoping review was conducted using a database of all primary DCM studies published between 2005 and 2020.
Article Synopsis
- The study highlights that delayed diagnosis of degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) stems from subtle symptoms and lack of awareness among clinicians and the public.
- The systematic review aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of clinical signs for DCM and their correlation with disease severity.
- Findings suggest that while certain clinical tests like Tromner and hyperreflexia are sensitive for DCM diagnosis, there is no strong link between specific clinical signs and the severity of the disease.
Epidemiology of posterior urethral injury among adults with traumatic pelvic ring disruptions: a 10-year retrospective review from a trauma care centre in Southeast Nigeria.

August 2023
Introduction: posterior urethral injuries can occur in polytrauma settings, and may contribute to morbidity post-trauma. The aim of this study is to determine the occurrence of pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI) in adult polytrauma patients who were successfully stabilized and to appraise the nature of associated injuries.
Methods: the medical records of stabilized polytrauma patients≥ 18 years of age from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed focusing on those presenting with bony pelvis disruptions.
