Bowel Dysfunction in Patients with Motor Complete Spinal Cord Injury: Clinical, Neurological, and Pathophysiological Associations

The American Journal of Gastroenterology (2006)

Margarita Vallès Joan Vidal Père Clavé Fermín Mearin

BACKGROUND Abnormal bowel function is a key problem in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Previous works provided only partial information on colonic transit time (CTT) or anal dysfunction but did not identified a comprehensive neurogenic bowel pattern. AIM To evaluate clinical, neurological, and pathophysiological counterparts of neurogenic bowel in patients with motor complete SCI. METHODS Fifty-four patients (56% men, mean age 35 yr) with chronic motor complete SCI (mean evolution time 6 yr) were evaluated: 41% with injuries above T7 (>T7) and 59% with injuries below T7 (T7 injuries, characterized by very frequent constipation (86%) with significant defecatory difficulty and not very severe incontinence (Mean Wexner score 4.5); it was related to moderate delay in CTT (mainly in the left colon and recto-sigma), incapacity to increase the intra-abdominal pressure, and the absence of anal relaxation during the defecatory maneuvre; Pattern B, present in

Improvement in Motor and Walking Capacity during Multisegmental Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation in Individuals with Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury

International Journal of Molecular Sciences (2024)

Hatice Kumru Aina Ros-Alsina Loreto García Alén Joan Vidal Yury Gerasimenko

Transcutaneous multisegmental spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) has shown superior efficacy in modulating spinal locomotor circuits compared to single-site stimulation in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Building on these findings, we hypothesized that administering a single session of tSCS at multiple spinal segments may yield greater enhancements in muscle strength and gait function during stimulation compared to tSCS at only one or two segments. In our study, tSCS was applied at single segments (C5, L1, and Coc1), two segments (C5-L1, C5-Coc1, and L1-Coc1), or multisegments (C5-L1-Coc1) in a randomized order. We evaluated the 6-m walking test (6MWT) and maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) and assessed the Hmax/Mmax ratio during stimulation in ten individuals with incomplete motor SCI. Our findings indicate that multisegmental tSCS improved walking time and reduced spinal cord excitability, as measured by the Hmax/Mmax ratio, similar to some single or two-site tSCS interventions. However, only multisegmental tSCS resulted in increased tibialis anterior (TA) muscle strength. These results suggest that multisegmental tSCS holds promise for enhancing walking capacity, increasing muscle strength, and altering spinal cord excitability in individuals with incomplete SCI.

Assessing readability of explanations and reliability of answers by GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 in non-traumatic spinal cord injury education

Medical Teacher (2025)

Alejandro García‐Rudolph David Sánchez-Pinsach Mark Andrew Wright Eloy Opisso Joan Vidal

Purpose Our study aimed to: i) Assess the readability of textbook explanations using established indexes; ii) Compare these with GPT-4's default explanations, ensuring similar word counts for direct comparisons; iii) Evaluate GPT-4's adaptability by simplifying high-complexity explanations; iv) Determine the reliability of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 in providing accurate answers.
