SCI Science Perspectives

Join us this episode for a conversation with Dr. Gino Panza for a conversation about the interaction of autonomics, the brain, and sleep. Dr. Panza talks us through their recent review paper (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apmr.2023.08.006) that shines a clinical lens on the interaction of three topics that are complicated by themselves and that complexify after spinal cord injury (SCI). We trust you'll enjoy this conversation about the nonobvious yet meaningful ways that SCI impacts autonomic function and the brain in a manner relevant to sleep, with Dr. Gino Panza.

Join us this episode for a conversation with Dr. Michael Fehlings, the most cited neurosurgeon ever on the topic of spinal cord injury (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41393-021-00691-9), for a conversation about the pharmaceutical agent riluzole for the treatment of acute spinal cord injury (SCI). Dr. Fehlings walks us through the past, present, and future of this drug that has proven efficacy in other neurological conditions and that might serve an important role in initial phases of treating SCI. We trust you'll enjoy this conversation about riluzole from the source of a principal investigator physician-scientist studying it from its inauguration in SCI.

This episode features two insider perspectives on the Spinal Cord Injury Medicine Fellowship (SCIMF) that leads to the boarded "SCI docs". Dr. Doug Ota, a Program Director, gives an overview and history of the SCIMF while Dr. Marla Petriello, a recent SCIM Fellow, shares her recent experience with undergoing the fellowship as an early career physiatrist.

Join us for this scholarly episode where Stephane Philippe-Ratway, a Speech-Language Pathologist, discusses her Craig H. Neilsen Foundation Allied Health Professional Research Award of ASIA titled “The Use of Functional Electrical Stimulation in Conjunction with Respiratory Muscle Training to improve unaided cough in individuals with Acute Spinal Cord Injury." https://asia-spinalinjury.org/research-awards/neilsen-info/

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Niña Carmela Tamayo about the resource document "The SCI Traveler: Navigating Barriers to Domestic and International Travel (2022 Manual Update)" scheduled to be published by the American Spinal Injury Association this year. We will drop the link in this description once the document becomes publicly available.
