An opportunity recently arose to treat in utero, with the aid of real-time ultrasound, a fetus affected with urinary outflow tract obstruction. This report documents that attempt at treatment and elucidates the constituents of fetal urine obtained at various gestational ages.
## Abstract Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has the potential to reveal disruption of white matter microstructure in chronically injured spinal cords. We quantified fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) to demonstrate retrograde Wallerian degeneration (WD) of cranial corticospinal tra
Selected contractile properties and fatigability of the quadriceps muscle were studied in seven spinal cord-injured (SCI) and 13 able-bodied control (control) individuals. The SCI muscles demonstrated faster rates of contraction and relaxation than did control muscles and extremely large force oscil
