Intraoperative monitoring (IOM) of spinal cord and nerve root injury through somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), transcranial motor evoked potentials (TcMEP), spontaneous electromyography (sEMG), and triggered electromyography (tEMG) modalities is vital during spinal surgery. However, there are currently no practice guidelines or practice patterns for the utilization of unimodal and multimodal IOM for specific surgeries. This study reviews IOM modalities and documents practice patterns of spine surgeons at our single-center tertiary hospital about their use of various IOM modalities on 23 spinal procedures. As different intraoperative monitoring modalities have shown to have different sensitivities and specificities, devising practice guidelines for IOM utilization in specific spinal procedures should be considered.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of bladder function training combined with pelvic floor biofeedback electrical stimulation in the treatment of neurogenic bladder and its impact on urodynamics.
Methods: This was a clinical comparative study. A total of 120 patients with neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury admitted to Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital of Capital Medical University and Beijing Shijingshan Hospital from January 2023 to December 2023 were randomly divided into two groups (n= 60/group).

Nitrous oxide (NO) has been increasingly used for recreational purposes due to its dissociative and euphoric properties. Exposure to NO results in the deactivation of in vivo vitamin B, leading to subsequent neurological sequelae due to vitamin B deficiency.7 Current management focuses on cessation of exposure and replacement therapy, yet patients may continue to suffer from permanent neurological damage.

Patients with DISH have an increased risk of fractures, especially in ankylosed spines, which increases susceptibility to spinal cord injury. This study aimed to explore the risk factors for neurological symptoms in patients with DISH-related fractures.

Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis (ISCM) is a rare manifestation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A 73-year-old man presented with left shoulder pain and left upper extremity weakness for two months. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed intramedullary and intradural extramedullary lesions at the C5 level, compressing the spinal cord from the center of the cord and the left ventral side.
