Spinal cord stimulators (SCS) are implantable medical devices used to treat chronic pain of neurologic origin, such as sciatica, intractable back pain, and diabetic. The device generates an electric pulse near the spinal cord’s dorsal surface, providing a parasthesia sensation that alters the perception of pain by the patient, and is typically used in conjunction with conventional medical management.

Free Download Cranio-Spinal Surgery with the Ronjair®: Addendum to Air Instrument Surgery by R. M. Hall
English | PDF | 1973 | 38 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 3.6 MB
This chapter deals with so me surgical uses of an air-powered bone-biter, Ronjair®. The to01 has been developed in response to the need to prevent hand cramping, blisters, fatigue, and consequent cIumsiness after extensive bone removal. The Instru ment, which has been in operative use since April 1971, has also proved to be more precisely controllable by the surgeon than comparable hand-powered instruments. The instrument is a new Air Instrument conceived with considerable attention, to full contral of the biting tips, to versatility and ease of use. Still, a little directed learning is essential for comfortable bone-cutting. Some hints are included in "How to use the Ronjair®, Air-Powered Rongeur" and "Technique suggestions", but it is ad visable to practice outside the operating room to get the feel of it. In aseries of presentations to so me 3,000 neurosurgeons and orthopedists in the past two years at large national meetings, it was cIear that nearly all could become adept in the use of the instrument after some 5 -10 minutes. The Ronjair® Air-Powered Rongeur was developed by Hall International Inc. with the suggestions and effort of N. Edalatpour, M.D. N. Edalatpour, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Free Download The Regeneration of Nerves and Spinal Cord: About Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches by Lars P. Klimaschewski
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 195 Pages | ISBN : 3662680521 | 24.6 MB
This non-fiction book provides information about the latest findings on research and therapy of nerve regeneration with catchy drawings and in understandable words. Why do nerves in the extremities regenerate, but the axons in the spinal cord do not? Can transplanted stem cells or biopolymers restore regeneration? Are bioprostheses able to functionally replace amputated arms or legs? Neuroscientist Lars Klimaschewski answers these questions and reports on exciting findings from anatomy, cell and molecular biology and neurotechnology. Find out, among other things, how a brain-computer interface processes signals from the brain in order to control the arm or leg muscles again via electrodes after a paraplegia.
