Abstract: Stem/progenitor cell transplantation delivery of astrocytes is a potentially powerful strategy for spinal cord injury (SCI). Axon extension into SCI lesions that occur spontaneously or in response to experimental manipulations is often observed along endogenous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12028-020-01141-9
Abstract: The optimal time to discontinue patients from mechanical ventilation is critical as premature discontinuation as well as delayed weaning can result in complications. The literature on diaphragm function assessment during the weaning process in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2021-053148
Abstract: Introduction Sarcopenia is associated with reduced pulmonary function in healthy adults, as well as with increased risk of pneumonia following abdominal surgery. Consequentially, postoperative pneumonia prolongs hospital admission, and increases in-hospital mortality following a range… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13613-022-01005-9
Abstract: Background Whether sepsis-associated diaphragm dysfunction may improve despite the exposure of mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients is unclear. This study aims at describing the diaphragm function time course of septic and non-septic mechanically ventilated… read more here.
