Whilst a reassuringly rare event, umbilical cord snap is not unique to waterbirth and can also occur with landbirth.
Such future indications will probably include treatment and prevention of cerebral ischaemia, stroke, cardiopulmonary bypass-related cerebral adverse events, spinal cord ischaemia, myocardial ischaemia due to acute infarction, percutaneous coronary angioplasty, acute limb ischaemia, emergency surgery and trauma as long as no allogeneic blood is available [ 21], and decompression sickness.
Although event-related fMRI is able to reliably detect brief changes in brain activity and is now widely used throughout systems and cognitive neuroscience, there have been no previous reports of event-related spinal cord fMRI.
Our results suggest that transplantation of L1-overexpressing SCs enhances early events in spinal cord repair after injury and may be considered in combinatorial strategies together with other regeneration-promoting molecules.
Many intrapartum stillbirths as well as neonatal deaths are associated with acute intrapartum events such as cord accidents, haemorrhage, hypertension, or prolonged or obstructed labour.
For every type of skeletal complication, the median Ntx value was substantially above the normal range, for the less common but extreme events of spinal cord compression and hypercalcaemia, all Ntx values were above the normal range.
A myriad of CNS events, including spinal cord injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), traumatic brain injury (TBI), intracranial hemorrhage, status epilepticus, meningitis, and subdural hemorrhage, have been associated with this syndrome [ 1- 5].
To measure the apoptotic event of the spinal cord after the full-thickness burn injury, the lumbar spinal cord segments were harvested and evaluated by caspase-3, caspase-9, and TUNEL assay.
For example, a bone surgery performed to treat a spinal cord compression event that occurred within 21 days of the bone surgery is considered a single SRE.
Acute onset was defined as a trauma or non-traumatic event resulting in spinal cord dysfunction within 14 days of onset.
