Su Ji Lee, Ji Cheol Shin
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential of technetium-99m-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99mTc-MAG-3) renal scintigraphy for predicting maximal detrusor pressure in the early stages of spinal cord injury (SCI). SETTING: Tertiary rehabilitation facility. METHODS: Medical records of individuals with SCI admitted between January 2020 and April 2023 who underwent both 99mTc-MAG-3 renal scintigraphy and urodynamic study within 90 days of SCI onset were retrospectively reviewed...

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective longitudinal cohort study of veterans with SCI. OBJECTIVES: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with an increased risk of developing diabetes mellitus (DM), likely due to body composition alterations and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. These factors are more pronounced in persons with tetraplegia (TP) versus paraplegia (PP). However, the effect of level of injury (LOI) on DM incidence is largely unknown. Therefore, the objective is to examine the effect of LOI on DM incidence in persons with SCI...

SETTING: Academic and Veterans hospitals in Midwest USA. METHODS: In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted in two cohorts of PWS and SP during the initial inpatient rehabilitation stay, at 6 mpi, and at 12 mpi...

STUDY DESIGN: Consensus process. OBJECTIVES: To provide a reference for the Zone(s) of Partial Preservation (ZPP) in the 2019 International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) and analyze the initial impact of applicability of the revised ZPPs. Revisions include the use of ZPPs in selected incomplete injuries (in addition to prior use in sensorimotor complete injuries). Specifically, the revised motor ZPPs are applicable bilaterally in injuries with absent voluntary anal contraction (VAC) and the revised sensory ZPP for a given side is applicable if deep anal pressure (DAP), light touch and pin prick sensation in S4-5 are absent on that side...
