01/01/2020 - "Spinal procedures including spinal surgeries, paraspinal injections, and placement of epidural catheters or stimulators can also predispose to infection.2,4Classic symptoms for spinal epidural abscesses include fever, back pain and neurological changes.1,5 Back pain is the most frequent presenting symptom, occurring about 70%-90% of the time.1 However, fever is the least frequent presenting symptom4 and neurological findings only occur in about one-third of cases.2 Neurological symptoms include motor weakness, sensory changes, urinary retention, overflow urinary incontinence, bowel dysfunction, hyperreflexia, radicular pain, spinal shock or cauda equina syndrome.1,4Laboratory findings may include systemic leukocytosis and elevated inflammatory markers. "
01/01/2001 - "Six male cats were anesthetized with alpha-chloralose and bipolar cuff electrodes were used to measure sacral nerve root electroneurograms (ENG) during slow bladder filling, during rapid injections of fluid into the bladder, and during hyperreflexia-like bladder contractions. "
05/01/1992 - "In contrast to the placebo injections, the group responded to the baclofen injections with subjective and objective, clinically significant improvement in parameters of spasticity in their lower limbs, including muscle tone, frequency of spasms, hyperreflexia and passive range of joint motion. "
09/01/2000 - "We evaluated the efficacy of botulinum-A toxin injections into the detrusor muscle in patients with spinal cord injury, detrusor hyperreflexia and urge incontinence resistant to anticholinergic drugs. "
