Spinal Cord Injury | What happens in the spinal cord after injury?

In this video, Dr Mike explains what happens to the spinal cord after injury.
He divides injury into primary and secondary phases, highlighting the cellular and molecular changes that occur in the spinal cord from minutes to months after injury. He also, explains how researchers are trying to combat different events within this process.

[@melanieniu2747]

Thank you so much Dr. Mike! I just have a question, what would cause the cell to favour the use of Na/Ca exchanger over the Na/K pump when its energy level drops?

[@JuliaRobertson]

Thanks so much for this. It explains so much of what I experienced with 2 x spinal fractures.

[@jamesh7959]

Good day, Doctor Mike, love the way you explained an inflammation :D. I have C3/C4 and C5/C6 foraminal stenosis due to disc joint spurring causing bilateral compression of the existing C4 and C6 nerves :(. Thanks for the video!

Thank you Dr. Mike. You make the pathophyisiology for SCI easy to understand. I think I'm gonna use your pathophysiology for SCI for my coming Revalida this week if ever I will get to pick SCI.

Thank you for your videos ! Really useful for PMR students !

[@Ingrafre]

Dear Dr. Mike, could you please do a video where you explain how the rupture (?) happens when diving into shallow water or gymnasts fail to land? Thank you very much!

[@evelynmeza888]

The way you explain things is incredible. I love how you take it to the cellular level because I am able to put a complete puzzle together and not have missing parts. Wish all professors were born to teach like you are. Although, sometimes it's a bit hard to concentrate on what your saying while your waving those swole arms around :)

[@coleencarr6525]

What are the patient's manifestations for the primary injury? thank you

[@busyaustralia]

[@sophiebrown1368]

Great explanation my brother keep it up

[@morgancalvi6675]

I broke my neck 38 years ago...is it normal for a spinal cord injury to still be showing up, or is something else going on? I do have hetertopic ossification in my hip ans leg and they are both due to be amputated Sept. 16, 2021. Is there a chance the spinal cord injury will stop showing up then?

[@avomarkarian6187]

My dad fell 7 years ago and he had neck injury he had a slight neck bone compression and it compressed his spaniel cord since then he has week one side and walks unbalanced and his body doesn’t command to release his urain so he has urainbag no Dr or medication helped him to go back to normal your help would be great Dr 🙏🙏

[@hh-zq9io]

Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@yeff1127]

why does sodium-potassium pump can't work but the sodium-calcium pump works if they both still need energy for the exchange? and don't they both use ATP still? can someone enlighten it to me, thank you

[@fatimaharba8587]

[@sunshine7882]

Hey 😂💜 from Jordan

[@jahayelcollantes7034]

Doc can u help my daugther she got a spinal injury.. Im soo poor

[@callmesam8467]

I had a back pain, I don't have it all the time sometime doing too much work especially bending down too long causes pain again. When it is worse I can't even walk straight.i look at myself in the mirror and realised my spinal cord is not straight anymore when it gets worse. Can someone help me? Can it be healed

[@st.paulmn9159]

I don’t understand why information isn’t relayed when there appears to be no break in the spinal cord. Also, the electrical devices that are used, I believe are active, meaning they have a battery/they stimulate. A passive design would seem to make more sense. I’m not an ee

[@blackl1steddrums]

You're my gluta-mate! thanks

[@yesok5774]

omg bad spinal cord injury mine is discs pushing out

[@c4speedtouch]

Good bicep🧐👌

[@minhajsahal4467]

So in simple terms Vascular disruption is the major cause of Secondary SCI

[@sugarsyrup4734]

I'm also from India.....I'm dietitian...✌️

[@najhibinmohdnazree1541]

how the calcium cause the cell die? why? anyone can tell me please...

[@TheMkat92]

It triggers an intercellular cascade of events that ultimately leads to a “cell death” signal.

[@anirudh6690]

I am form India your student....

[@srinivasan7892]

please you should clear my doubt, how blood pressure drops if spinal artery gets damaged?? because each organ is supplied by different blood vessels isn't it??(2:57 to 3:16)????????

[@kellyofthehead]

I'm driving myself insane. Nobody will listen. I had two Cauda equina injuries, 2 weeks apart requiring surgeries. This was july 2022. Since march of last year i started with full body fasciculations, worse in my right leg where it was most effected with the Cauda equina. I now have them 24/7 from my legs to my head. 😢😢

[@smiles3500]

I'm not sure what I have, docs won't check. i can't even sense my own body at all anymore... started with my neck, Can't sense anything i't like I'm a ghost.. can't sense anything on body.. not numb.. just can't sense it. my guess is tumours in spine that docs won't check. I can't function at all and going downhill. skull splitting too.. i belive from skull cancer..i'm scared in my own body as I pass on and terrified. horrible car accident 2 years ago.. stenosis and all kinds of still disc wrapping around spinal cord in neck and docs did nothing for it.. then falling out of bed who knows what I damagaged. But I know i'm soon passed and terrfies me, cancers so far gone taht no doc helps me at all. terrified to pass terrified.

[@meninorebelde6368]

Some doctors are good and actually care brother but majority are idiots who just try to guess and not find a cause. Keep looking im on same boat as you .

[@gordomac4229]

How do you know all this? Im legit curious. Is all this educated theory or did someone figure all this out someway?

[@rogueteapot5839]

Its published in a plethora of internationally available medical texts and is the product of many strings of discovery over centuries. You'd be able to find the texts (clinically oriented anatom, physiology, this sort of thing) in a nearby library though you might have to go to a university library. The youtube form is a bit easier to digest though, especially when its explained so clearly. As for how swole the educator is, that is anyone's guess but probably comes from a dedication to exercise and nutritional control.

[@petedoukas8936]

Love this response 👆🏻

[@mikalhandy6957]

It’s called BIOLOGY 😂😂😂

[@dustin9893]

I had a spinal cord Injury but it wasn't severed, it was from an autoimmune disease

[@Pianodramabeatz]

Me

[@delatorrecaleb]

Couldn’t a doctor just cut out the damaged part and connect the fibers together?🤦🏻‍♂️

[@lennymaddox7966]

Great question, that would result in more glia scar formation which was a problem to begin with. so in short what they do is prevent secondary damages to the spinal cord, and possibly save whatever left from the initial surgery.

[@extractorfan2143]

I looked at a video where they used asparagus as A link between cord ends and the nerves used it like a scaffold to grow along and reconnect it wasn't perfect but signal somwhat recovered in an animal. The plant material was suitable

[@Brain0738]

I still walk, well kinda, if my feet would quit breaking, hence stop walking on them or at least get reconstructive surgery, I kinda have bones sticking out either side of my heels. BC Medical treat me as if I am the AntiChrist

[@tytraulich4987]

Why people say “complete spinal cord injury” when the person can blink or bite their cheek is beyond me. Really, there’s no such thing. You shoulda kept going with the “below site of injury” to include the rest of the shit you relay to move like your eyelids or your cheek or even your ears.
