Interspinal

(15) We obtained lumbar spinal SEPs after posterior tibial nerve stimulation in 6 cohorts of animals (N = 36) ranging in age from weanling (15 days) to early adulthood (110 days) by recording from needle electrodes placed in the L1-2 and L5-6 interspinous ligaments.
(16) This microapproach combines the advantage of an efficient decompression of the compromised neurostructures along with the preservation of the spinous processes the interspinous ligaments, the medial section of the yellow ligament as well as of the biomechanically relevant portion of the facet joints.
(17) Diagnosis of hyperflexion sprain is suggested by transient or persistent neurological deficits, local tenderness, or plain film findings, which include interspinous fanning, localized kyphotic angulation, subluxation, or disc space narrowing.
(18) In the lumbar spine the fibres of the interspinous ligts., being very strong, pass in a posterocranial direction.
(19) This means a more isotonic solution in relation to the cerebrospinal fluid, resulting in milder osmotic effects on interspinal structures.
(20) The dependence on temperature of the tensile properties of interspinous ligaments was examined to establish whether in vitro studies at room temperature reflect behaviour in vivo at higher temperatures.
Spinal
Definition:
(a.) Of, pertaining to, or in the region of, the backbone, or vertebral column; rachidian; vertebral.
(a.) Of or pertaining to a spine or spines.
Example Sentences:
(1) Spectral analysis of spontaneous heart rate fluctuations, a powerful noninvasive tool for quantifying autonomic nervous system activity, was assessed in Xenopus Laevis, intact or spinalized, at different temperatures and by use of pharmacological tools.
(2) In the caudal spinal trigeminal nucleus (Vc), the collaterals of one half of the periodontium afferent fibers terminated mainly in lamina V at the rostral and middle levels of Vc.
(3) A review is presented concerning the development of new neuroimaging techniques in the last decade which have improved the diagnostic exploration of patients with spinal cord injuries, including studies of possible sequelae.
(4) We conclude that the rat somatosympathetic reflex consists of an early excitatory component due to the early activation of RVL-spinal sympathoexcitatory neurons with rapidly conducting axons and a later peak that may arise from the late activation of these same neurons as well as the early activation of RVL vasomotor neurons with more slowly conducting spinal axons.
(5) Eighty-four paraplegic patients whose injury level was T2 or below and who were at least one year from spinal cord injury were screened for upper extremity complaints.
(6) Stimulation with these electrodes were effective for inducing voiding with little residual volume after the recovery of bladder reflexes, 3 weeks after experimental spinal cord injury in the dog.
(7) The electrical stimulation of the tail associated to a restraint condition of the rat produces a significant increase of immunoreactive DYN in cervical, thoracic and lumbar segments of spinal cord, therefore indicating a correlative, if not causal, relationship between the spinal dynorphinergic system and aversive stimuli.
(8) The axons of A5, RPoOl and RaD neurons exhibit no lateral predominance in their spinal projections.
(9) The greatest advantages of spinal QCT for noninvasive bone mineral measurement lie in the high precision of the technique, the high sensitivity of the vertebral trabecular measurement site, and the potential for widespread application.
(10) However, H2-blocking agents, such as cimetidine and ranitidine, given either intravenously or intraspinally had a scarcely measurable effect on the spinal reflex.
(11) Nonetheless, anatomical continuity was restored at the site of injury, axons projected across this region, and rostral spinal and brainstem neurons could be retrogradely labelled following HRP injections administered caudal to the lesion.
(12) With attention to proper performance and patient selection, spinal and epidural anaesthesia are safe and efficacious options when choosing anaesthetic technique.
(13) Magnetic resonance imaging of the spinal cord clearly demonstrated the entire lesion.
