By Sloan Brewster, Record-Journal staff CHESHIRE — Lying in her bed sick with pain after a spinal cord injury, Kate Nicoll had a constant companion — her dog Sam. That got Nicoll thinking. "I thought there was a healing presence to our connection," Nicoll said. "I could have gotten depressed but I didn't ... because he would motivate me." Nicoll began to do some research and look into ways that the healing presence of animals could be harnessed to help people, especially children. She took a home course on trauma and got another dog, a Welsh corgi shepherd mix named Bear.

Column Information Classification SITE INFORMATION Affiliations Archives Thursday, September 22, 2005 Mice Walk Again in Stem Cell Study WASHINGTON (AP) - Injections of human stem cells seem to directly repair some of the damage caused by spinal cord injury, according to research that helped partially paralyzed mice walk again. The experiment, reported Monday, isn?t the first to show that stem cells offer tantalizing hope for spinal cord injury; other scientists have helped mice recover, too. But the new work went an extra step, suggesting the connections the stem cells form to help bridge the damaged spinal cord are key to recovery. Surprisingly, they didn?t just form new nerve cells. They also formed cells that create the biological insulation that nerve fibers need to communicate. A number of neurological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, involve loss of that insulation, called myelin. "The actual cells that we transplanted, the human cells, are the ones that are making myelin," said lead researcher Aileen Anderson of the University of California, Irvine. "We?re extremely excited about these cells."

What is Spinal Cord Injury? Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that results in a loss of function such as mobility or feeling. Frequent causes of damage are trauma (car accident, gunshot, falls, etc.) or disease (polio, spina bifida, Friedreich's Ataxia, etc.). The spinal cord does not have to be severed in order for a loss of functioning to occur. In fact, in most people with SCI, the spinal cord is intact, but the damage to it results in loss of functioning. SCI is very different from back injuries such as ruptured disks, spinal stenosis or pinched nerves. A person can "break their back or neck" yet not sustain a spinal cord injury if only the bones around the spinal cord (the vertebrae) are damaged, but the spinal cord is not affected. In these situations, the individual may not experience paralysis after the bones are stabilized.
