Editorial Review

Product Description
Surgical Management of Spinal Cord Injury: Controversies and Consensus reviews the controversies pertaining to the emergency, diagnostic, medical, and surgical management of spinal cord injury (SCI).

In vitro studies, animal models, and clinical outcome analyses have all failed to yield incontrovertible guidelines that define the role of surgery in SCI. As a result, there is no consensus regarding the necessity, timing, nature, or approach of surgical intervention. In this concise yet comprehensive book some of the leading authorities in the field scrutinize the scientific data and summarize the foundations of rational treatment paradigms.

Specific topics include:


  • the timing of decompressive surgery
  • the adjunctive use of solumedrol
  • management of penetrating injuries
  • radiographic evaluation
  • spinal stabilization
  • pediatric SCI

Surgical Management of Spinal Cord Injury is an essential new book for all members of the patient care team involved in spinal cord injury. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Autonomic dysfunction is a major and poorly understood consequence of spinal cord injury.It is a cause of very serious disability and requires much more research.It should be a focus of treatment strategies.This book will be of interest to anyone involved in research and treatment of spinal cord injury since it helps to explain the tremendously negative impact on the body caused by cord injury that is not as obvious as paralysis and loss of sensation. It contains a compilation of what is known about bladder, cardiovascular, bowel and sexual dysfunction after spinal cord injury, as it relates to the changes within the autonomic nervous system control of these functions.

The book begins with a description of the time course of autonomic dysfunctions and their ramifications from the first hours after a spinal cord injury to the more stable chronic states.The next section contains three chapters that address anatomical findings that may provide some of the foundation for autonomic dysfunctions in many of the systems.The system-specific chapters then follow in four sections. Each section begins with a chapter or two defining the clinical problems experienced by people with cord injury.The following chapters present research, basic and clinical, that address the autonomic dysfunctions. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
Distinguished researchers review the latest scientific understanding of spinal cord injury (SCI), focusing on the mechanisms causing paralysis after spinal cord trauma, the molecular determinants of neural regeneration, and methods for improving damaged function. The authors examine the role of intracellular Ca2+ in neuronal death, the possibility of spinal learning, growth-promoting molecules for regenerating neurons, and the biochemistry and cell biology of microtubules. Among the treatment possibilities discussed are cell transplantation strategies beyond the use of fetal spinal cord tissue, remyelination in spinal cord demyelination models, high steroid therapy immediately after SCI, and the mixed use of anti- and proinflammatories. Comprehensive and highly promising, Neurobiology of Spinal Cord Injury summarizes and integrates the great progress that has been made in understanding and combating the paralysis that follows spinal cord injury.

5-0 out of 5 stars Useful editionfor experienced neurosurgeons
This book highlights the major areas of basic science research in which progress is currently being made in the battle against the problem of spinal cord injury. It presents important advances in developing effective intervention to promote functional recovery after spinal cord injury through studies on animal models. A number of important insights on human injured spinal cords are presented through an experimentally induced lesion model system. A particularly exciting set of experiments provides compelling evidence for spinal learning - the ability of the isolated cord to make adaptions to new environmental demands. ... Read more

Product Description
Bronze Award Winner for Health in the 2004 ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Awards

In writing Still Lives, Jonathan Cole wanted to find out about living in a wheelchair, without having what he calls "the doctor/patient thing" intervene. He has done this by asking people with spinal cord injuries the simple question of what it is like to live without sensation and movement in the body. If the body has absented itself, where does the person reside? He describes his method in the first chapter: "I have gone to people, not with a white coat or a stethoscope...[but] to listen to their lives as they express them," and it is the candid and powerful narratives of twelve people with spinal cord injuries that form the heart of the book.

Asking his simple question, Cole discovers that there is no single or simple answer. The twelve people with tetraplegia (known as quadriplegia in the US) or paraplegia whose stories he tells testify to similar impairments but widely differing experiences. Cole employs their individual responses to shape the book into six main sections: "Enduring," "Exploring," "Experimenting," "Observing," "Empowering," and, finally, "Continuing." Each concludes with a commentary on the broader issues raised. Still Lives moves from a view of impairment as tragedy to reveal the possibilities and richness of experience available to those living with spinal injuries. More universally, it offers new perspectives on our relation to our bodies. In exploring the creative and imaginative adjustments required to construct a "still life," it makes a plea for the able-bodied to adjust their view of this most profound of impairments. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars as a recent parapalegic
the observations were more clinical than personal but I still was able to gain some understanding about the things I am experiencing and that was my goal when I bought the book.

1-0 out of 5 stars Still Lives!How condescending!
Right off the mark - What a ridiculous and condescending title.I'm a quad and my life is not "still". Not when I'm going to work as a physician & not when I'm chasing around my two year old!People with weakness or paralysis are not "in chairs" - many need to USE wheelchairs to get around - just like someone without a spinal cord injury might use a bike to go a long distance.
Maybe we should leave the writing about people with spinal cord injuries to those who've had one - say, Christopher Reeves for example!

4-0 out of 5 stars Eye-opening and thought provoking
I purchased this when I became friends with a man in a chair. I think it helped me understand better some of what he has had to deal with, and I hope it has made me a better friend to him. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
An estimated 11,000 spinal cord injuries occur each year in the United States and more than 200,000 Americans suffer from maladies associated with spinal cord injury. This includes paralysis, bowel and bladder dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, respiratory impairment, temperature regulation problems, and chronic pain. During the last two decades, longstanding beliefs about the inability of the adult central nervous system to heal itself have been eroded by the flood of new information from research in the neurosciences and related fields. However, there are still no cures and the challenge of restoring function in the wake of spinal cord injuries remains extremely complex. "Spinal Cord Injury" examines the future directions for research with the goal to accelerate the development of cures for spinal cord injuries. While many of the recommendations are framed within the context of the specific needs articulated by the New York Spinal Cord Injury Research Board, the Institute of Medicine's panel of experts looked very broadly at research priorities relating to future directions for the field in general and make recommendations to strengthen and coordinate the existing infrastructure.Funders at federal and state agencies, academic organizations, pharmaceutical and device companies, and non-profit organizations will all find this book to be an essential resource as they examine their opportunities. ...
