The British Orthopaedic Association's Standards for Trauma and Orthopaedics outline the essential clinical standards for spinal clearance and management of spinal cord injury in the acute trauma patient. From initial presentation in the hospital setting to long-term rehabilitation, the recommendations for clinical assessment, imaging, treatment priorities and the role of trauma networks are summarised.

Interleukin-3 Modulates Macrophage Phagocytic Activity and Promotes Spinal Cord Injury Repair.

Background: Effective clearance of lipid-rich debris by macrophages is critical for neural repair and regeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI). Interleukin-3 (IL-3) has been implicated in programming microglia to cluster and clear pathological aggregates in neurodegenerative disease. Yet, the influence of IL-3 on lipid debris clearance post-SCI is not well characterized.

Purpose: Pediatric cervical spine injury (pCSI) is rare. Physiological differences necessitate alternate management from adults. Yet, no standardized pediatric protocols exist.

Graphene-based materials (GBMs) hold strong promise to restore the spinal cord microenvironment and promote functional recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). Nanocomposites consisting of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and adipose tissue-derived extracellular matrix (adECM) are known to promote neuronal growth in vitro and to evoke a biocompatible response in vivo when implanted on top of the intact spinal cord. In this study, pristine adECM and adECM-rGO nanocomposites are implanted directly after hemisection SCI in rats.

Objective: Radiological evaluation of cervical spine injury with computed tomography (CT) scanning is a fundamental component of the assessment of major trauma. Accurate interpretation of scans is essential for safe clearance or diagnosis of injuries. However, delays in radiologist reporting often result in prolonged spinal immobilisation.

Gamma Entrainment Using Sensory Stimuli (GENUS) promotes amyloid clearance via increased perivascular cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) flux in mouse models of Alzheimer's Disease. Here we use whole-brain activity mapping to identify the cholinergic basal forebrain as a key region responding to GENUS.
