Upper limbs dysmetria caused by cervical spinal cord injury: a case report.

22 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Upper limbs dysmetria caused by spinal cord injury is very rare. We will discuss the associated mechanism in our articles. CASE PRESENTATION: A 51-year-old male had sudden onset of weakness, dysmetria over bilateral upper limbs and ... Read more...

The effect of compensation status on waiting time for elective surgical lumbar discectomy.

30 Aug 2009 STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study of patients registered for elective surgical lumbar discectomy (ESLD) between November 1999 and December 2003 at a major tertiary care center in Vancouver. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether compensation status ... Read more...

Comparison of the diagnosis of intervertebral disc herniation in dogs by CT before and after contrast enhancement of the subarachnoid space.

13 Aug 2009 Eleven miniature dachshunds with a herniated intervertebral disc were examined by CT, first before and then after contrast enhancement of the subarachnoid space. The images were classified into three grades by three veterinarians. In four cases, ... Read more...
