Hyperthermia/Hypothermia
Because of spinal cord injury, the temperature of the body has an increased tendency to fluctuate according to the temperature of the environment.
http://calder.med.miami.edu/pointis/hype.html

Extractions: Because of your spinal cord injury, the temperature of your body has an increased tendency to fluctuate according to the temperature of the environment. If you are in a hot room your temperature may increase (hyperthermia); if you are in a cold room, your temperature may decrease (hypothermia). This occurs because of the altered function of the autonomic nervous system. The higher the level of injury, the greater the tendency for fluctuations in your body temperature. Hyperthermia Hyperthermia refers to an elevation in body temperature. For example, it may occur on a hot day if you are out-of-doors, sitting in a hot car, or covered with too many blankets. One or more of the following symptoms may indicate hyperthermia: It is important that you attempt to prevent hyperthermia when exposed to an overheated environment.

Extractions: Questions Comments Submit A Link Submit Story BBS Chat Visit our Sponsors! In order to assist the 7,800 individuals who sustain a SCI each year, and the 400,000 persons living with spinal cord injuries, the National Spinal Cord Injury Association was established in 1948. The NSCIA has many chapters throughout the United States. Some members have physical disabilities while others do not. Chapter members participate in a variety of activities. They work with local and national officials and agencies to develop better programs and services and act as community advocates for improved access, housing, transportation, employment, and leisure time activities for disabled people. Peer support and other services are also provided. These are fundamental aspects of living that 500,000 people with spinal cord injuries or diseases must cope with after they have been rehabilitated and have returned to community life. More and more persons are getting involved in activities of the NSCIA. Through the collective efforts of staff, chapters, board members, and other volunteers, the Association is improving care, producing results in research, and addressing everyday living issues that confront all people who use wheelchairs.

http://www.usuhs.mil/nes/Anders.htm

Extractions: Lab Focus: Dr. Anders current research activities include: 1. A multi-treatment approach to enhance regeneration of the corticospinal tract and restore corticospinal tract function after acute spinal cord injury in adult rats. Combined treatments include olfactory ensheathing cell transplantation and application of a synthetic glucocorticoid steroid, methylprednisolone. 2. The use of photobiomodulation (low power laser irradiation) to promote regeneration of acutely transected corticospinal tract axons. The regeneration of corticospinal tract axons through and beyond the lesion site is determined quantitatively and reinnervation of the target tissue is determined by behavioral testing. 3. A number of research projects are underway on an animal model of type II diabetes, the Fat Sand Rat (Psammomys obesus). These projects include: the characterization of peripheral diabetic neuropathy in this animal model, the use of Optical Coherence Tomography (a novel non-invasive imaging technique), to observe changes that occur in cutaneous nerves and microvessels during the development of diabetes induced peripheral neuropathy, and use of photobiomodulation as a therapy for impaired wound healing in the diabetic animal.
