Home Shrine Shriners Hospitals Hospital Directory ... Next SPINAL CORD INJURY REHABILITATION Chicago * Philadelphia * Sacramento Thousands of young people are paralyzed from spinal cord injuries each year. The Shrine of North America established three special rehabilitation units where young people with spinal cord injuries can find hope, strength, inspiration and the specialized medical care needed for rehabilitation. In 1980, after more than 60 years of treating children with orthopaedic problems and burn injuries, the Shrine realized the unmet need of specialized care and rehabilitation for children suffering from spinal cord injuries. In 1980, Shriners Hospitals opened their first Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation Unit for children at the Shriners Hospital in Philadelphia A midwest Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation Unit was established at the Shriners Hospital in Chicago two years later. The third spinal cord injury unit opened in September 1984 at the Shriners Hospital in San Francisco, and relocated in April 1997 to Sacramento, when that hospital closed and the Shriners Hospital in Sacramento opened.

Its aim is to find ways to repair spinal cord injury and to reverse the paralysis that results from it. Based in the UK and recognised as a leader in its field, Spinal Research funds groundbreaking projects at scientific and medical institutions around the world. Following momentous progress in the laboratory, the next landmark is the launch of clinical trials with paralysed volunteers. These trials will test innovative treatments that could repair damage in the human spinal cord, and so restore sensation and movement.Spinal Research looks forward to the 4cm Future STOP PRESS!

They appreciate fully that the demands of those with spinal cord injury, differ from those who are less severely injured. Above all that calls for attention to detail. So, for instance: In cases where liability for spinal cord injury compensation is unlikely to be heavily contested they obtain interim payments for accommodation, buying equipment and setting up care regimes. They employ an independent living adviser who is able to help with advice on equipment, vehicles, holidays and so on. So for more information on how we can help you to process your spinal cord injury claim, click on the link below. Spinal Cord Injury Spinal Injury Compensation At the outset a spinal cord injury lawyer can only give a broad assessment of spinal injury compensation (commonly £1-3 million).However each spinal injury compensation case will be decided according to the severity of the injury and the needs/losses of the individual. Spinal injury compensation damages are awarded for the injury itself and the rest of the claim is made up of past and future losses. Usually future losses account for the largest part of the claim and would include for example,loss of earnings,care costs,accommo- dation costs,the costs of aids and equipment and medical expenses.

Spinal Cord Injury Research SUMMARY Helping Patients to Walk Again: Nerve Regeneration Researchers at Mayo have completed animal studies that are the first steps in showing that nerves can regenerate in the spinal cord system. Anthony Windebank, M.D., a neurologist, molecular neuroscientist, and director of Mayo's Molecular Neuroscience Program is co-principal investigator of the research team. Michael Yaszemski, M.D., Ph.D., a spine surgeon and chemical engineer who directs the Tissue Engineering and Polymeric Biomaterials Laboratory, is the other co-principal investigator. In October 2003, the research team received a $1.3 million National Institutes of Health grant that underscores the early success of their animal studies. "This project is so exciting that I can't wait to get into the lab." Anthony Windebank, M.D. "I am optimistic that we will be conducting human clinical trials within ten years," says Dr. Windebank. "This project is so exciting that I can't wait to get into the lab." Dr. Yaszemski agrees. "It is exciting to imagine that we might make a contribution to helping patients with SCI walk again," he says. The research team that Drs. Windebank and Yaszemski assembled for this project is remarkable for the breadth of its collaboration. Areas involved include:

Home Departments Contact Us Subscribe to our site ... Web Links CONTACT US P: (541)488-1185 F: (541)488-0850 E: HERMEDEL@AOL.COM For centuries prevailing medical knowledge stated that once the brain is severely damaged nothing can bring it back. To a great degree that notion still prevails throughout the world. However, for the first time, researchers in this field are now saying,“Perhaps that dream may not be as impossible as we once thought. We could be onto something that might change that thinking forever”! THE MARGOT ANDERSON BRAIN RESTORATION FOUNDATION was founded to make those words become a reality. Extensive ongoing research now indicates that, within a relatively short period of time, the answer to the heart rendering devastation of brain damage may be finally conquered. The foundation is dedicated to creating, supporting and accelerating massive research into safe and effective means of restoration of brain functions. What Does Brain Restoration Mean? To this moment, the victims of Stroke, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Damage and any of the twenty or more brain injuries as indicated in the accompanying poll, faced the certainty of extensive trauma and/or death resulting from these calamities . There is now hope that this prognosis can be mitigated or reversed through the new and promising Brain Restoration Research going on throughout the world. Where this assured death sentence was once accepted, Brain Restoration now offers the hope of dramatic improvement. To walk, talk and think again is not to ask too much and Brain Restoration may open the path to satisfy those desires. Progress is being made every day in this effort.
