The results showed that IP injection and multiple administrations days had the strong effect in the first three days as well as after 3–4 weeks. But more studies are needed to draw conclusions about its longer term effects. The analysis of MDA, SOD and GSH redox factors showed that the amount of MDA decreased and the amount of GSH increased in the treated animals. Also, the inflammatory factors IL-1Β and TNF-α as well as apoptosis and the rate of neuronal cell death, were reduced in animals that received melatonin, while the number of viable neurons was increased in melatonin treated animals.

Cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) and brachial plexus injury (BPI) can result in hand paralysis. Reconstruction of hand motion is associated with improved functionality and quality of life. We synthesized the outcomes of finger and thumb flexion after various nerve transfers to the anterior interosseous nerve (AIN). A systematic literature review and meta-analysis was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. Successful finger and thumb flexion recovery was defined as Medical research council (MRC) grade ≥3. In total, 23 studies with 99 patients and 120 nerve transfers to the AIN were performed. The mean interval from injury to surgery was 12.8 months and mean follow-up duration was 24 months. Overall, 81/120 (67.5%) and 68/102 (66.7%) hands achieved successful finger and thumb flexion recovery, respectively. Individual-patient-data were available for 94 nerve transfers.

While most individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) are expected to have 1-2 urinary tract infections (UTIs) per year, there is a subset with higher incidence. We evaluate our practice to characterize common causes of recurrent UTIs, hypothesizing that more frequent infections typically have addressable risk factors. Tertiary urology clinic, San Jose, CA. We reviewed patients with SCI referred to a tertiary urology clinic for evaluation and management of “recurrent UTIs” during the years 2015–2020. Following workup, the suspected cause of recurrent UTIs and number of post-specialty evaluation UTIs (patient reported) were noted. Forty persons with SCI with a mean of 4.8 UTI treatments in the prior year comprised our cohort with most performing CIC (80%). After workup, 37/40 (92.5%) had a likely cause for their reported recurrent UTIs. In 16/40 (40%), careful questioning determined that the patient was not having UTIs based on guideline definitions. In those with confirmed recurrent UTIs, a bladder diary (62.5%) or urodynamic study (64%) was more likely to identify a cause compared to imaging (2.6%) or cystoscopy (8%). With a minimum 1-year follow-up, 90% of our population had a 50% or more reduction in UTI incidence, mostly using non-antibiotic strategies. In a referral SCI population with a chief complaint of “recurrent UTIs”, over a third were not having UTIs.
