Nearly 11,000 spinal cord injuries occur each year in the US and more than 200,000 Americans suffer from maladies associated with spinal cord injury. The challenge of restoring function in the wake of these injuries remains complex. This book examines the directions for research aimed at accelerating the development of cures for these injuries. \u003cp\u003eAn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpinal Cord Injury\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Matter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExecutive Summary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Progression of Spinal Cord Injury\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Tools for Assessing Spinal Cord Injury and Repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Current Therapeutic Interventions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Progress Toward Neuronal Repair and Regeneration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Developing New Therapeutic Interventions: From the Laboratory tothe Clinic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 Research Organization: Creating an Environment to AccelerateProgress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 State Programs in Spinal Cord Injury\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix A Study Process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix B Acronyms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix C Glossary of Major Terms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix D Tools to Assess Spinal Cord Injury Outcomes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix E Clinical Trials of Methylprednisolone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix F Examples of Alternative Therapies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix G Spinal Cord Injury Clinical Trials Published from 1998to 2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix H Legislation Sponsoring State Spinal Cord Injury Research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix I Committee and Staff Biographies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30364476178529,"sku":"9780309095853","price":56.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/ffd9244850b6c6475fc749f71599d927.png?v=1695833431","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780309095853-spinal-cord-injury","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
