Abstract:
Tuberculous spinal arachnoditis is one of the commonest causes of paraplegia in India. Clinical and laboratory diagnosis is difficult and radiological evaluation often remains an important component of diagnosis and management The role of water soluble contrast medium myelography and CT features have been described. The most common features observed on myelography include long lengths of irregular contrast medium, nodular filling defects, thickened nerve roots and empty thecal sac. The CT features include irregular subarachnoid contrast medium, extradural and intradural filling defects with the spinal cord of variable dimension. Adherence of the nerve roots to one another and to the meninges was not an uncommon finding. Given the clinical setting,myelographic and CT myelographic features are reasonably characteristic to suggest a diagnosis of tuberculous spinal arachnoiditis.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

The Role of Ion Channels in Neuronal Computation
Sometimes a single EPSP is strong enough to induce an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron. However, multiple presynaptic inputs must often create EPSPs around the same time for the postsynaptic neuron to be sufficiently depolarized to fire an action potential....
