The Spinal Cord01:54

The Spinal Cord

31.9K
The spinal cord is the body’s major nerve tract of the central nervous system, communicating afferent sensory information from the periphery to the brain and efferent motor information from the brain to the body. The human spinal cord extends from the hole at the base of the skull, or foramen magnum, to the level of the first or second lumbar vertebra.

Spinal Cord: Information Processing01:10

Spinal Cord: Information Processing

3.6K
The spinal cord is an integral hub for motor and sensory information that enables the brain to communicate with the peripheral nervous system (PNS). This communication consists of relaying sensory data and transmission of motor commands.
Sensory Information Processing
Sensory information processing begins at the sensory receptors located in the skin and other tissues, which detect somatic sensory stimuli such as touch, temperature, or pain. These receptors function as catalysts, initiating...

Spinal Cord: Cross-sectional Anatomy

4.9K
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.

Spinal Cord: Gross Anatomy

5.9K
The spinal cord resides within the protective confines of the vertebral column. It is the main pathway for information traveling between the brain and the body. It plays a fundamental role in nearly all bodily functions, from simple reflexes to complex motor movements. The spinal cord begins at the medulla oblongata at the base of the brainstem and extends downward, terminating at the conus medullaris near the first and second lumbar vertebrae. The spinal cord's length in adults is...

Spinal Cord

The spinal cord, a critical component of the central nervous system, extends from the base of the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column. It is essential for maintaining physical stability and facilitating communication between the brain and peripheral parts of the body.

Behavior of Concrete Under Compressive Load01:23

Behavior of Concrete Under Compressive Load

648
Concrete exhibits specific behaviors under different compressive loads. Understanding this is crucial for understanding its structural integrity. When concrete undergoes uniaxial compression, it tends to develop cracks that run parallel to the direction of the force. These parallel cracks stem from localized tensile stresses that occur perpendicular to the compression direction. Additionally, angled cracks may appear due to the formation of shear planes.
As the concrete specimen fractures under...

Summary

Spinal cord compression is a rare complication of Gaucher disease type I. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a safe and accurate diagnostic tool for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Genetics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Type I Gaucher disease can present with rare but serious complications.
  • Epidural spinal cord compression is a significant concern in affected individuals.

Observation:

  • Three patients with type I Gaucher disease and spinal cord compression were analyzed.
  • Compression occurred in the thoracic region (T-11, T-12) due to vertebral collapse in two patients.
  • One patient developed an epidural mass at T-2 with diffuse infiltration of T-2 and T-3.

Findings:

  • Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was utilized for diagnosis in two cases.
  • MR imaging accurately demonstrated the nature and extent of the epidural disease.
  • The imaging findings confirmed spinal cord compression as a complication of Gaucher disease.
