- BookHyun-Yoon Ko.Summary: This comprehensive, up-to-date guide to the rehabilitation care of persons with spinal cord injuries and disorders draws on the ever-expanding scientific and clinical evidence base to provide clinicians with the knowledge needed in order to make optimal management decisions during the acute, subacute, and chronic phases. The second edition re-organized contents as more clinically practical use, consisting of 48 chapters. Also, new chapters such as kinesiology and kinematics of functional anatomy of the extremities are added as well. Readers will also find chapters on the basics of functional anatomy, neurological classification and evaluation, injuries specifically in children and the elderly, and psychological issues. The book will be an invaluable aid to assessment and medical care for physicians and other professional personnel in multiple specialties, including physiatrists, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, internists, critical care physicians, urologists, neurologists, psychologists, and social workers.

Follow-up care of spinal cord injuries. - ArticleObertop H, Bijnen AB, Vriesendorp HM, Westbroek DL.Transplantation. 1978 Oct;26(4):255-9.Significant prolongation of survival of nonrelated DLA-mismatched renal allografts has been obtained in beagle recipients receiving three blood transfusions from nonrelated donors prior to kidney transplantation and immunosuppression after transplantation. Nontransfused DLA-identical or DLA 1 haplotype-different littermates of the transfused dogs were used as controls. Lymphocytotoxic antibodies were formed after the blood transfusions. A quantitative immune reactivity score correlated with graft survival. Low scores prior to transplantation were found in five transfused dogs that did not reject their allografts. High scores prior to transplantation were found in four animals rejecting their graft and in one dog that survived after an abortive rejection episode. The great similarities between the results obtained in this animal model and the observations made in human transplant patients indicate that this model can be utilized for a further analysis of the possibilities of blood transfusions in protecting subsequent renal allografts from immunological rejection.
