Wait, poor spinal capacity.

In the spinal ward, that's normal.

They moved me from intensive care to acute spinal.

I was lying on a thin, hard spinal bed.

She had a spina bifida defect, a spinal cord abnormality.

The spinal cord had breaks. The neurons were crossing in every which way.

It paralyzes you. It starts by killing the motor neurons in your spinal cord.

Well, there wasn't much else to do in the spinal ward, so we did.

There is the brain stem in between the cerebral cortex and the spinal cord.

And then I remembered my friends that were still in the spinal ward, particularly Maria.

In late August 2004, he underwent surgery at the Cairo university hospital on spinal discs.

They picked as much broken bone as they could that had lodged in my spinal cord.

This was a device that a nurse uses when they're doing a spinal procedure in hospital.

laterally, vertically, up and down in the spinal cord and they start interacting with other adjacent cells.

KA Sort of like the Spinal Tap scene where you get the tiny little Stonehenge, I guess?

In the police van, he was repeatedly kicked on the back, causing damage to his spinal cord.

And each of us knew that when we left the spinal ward we would never be the same.

Geron, just last year, started the first trial using human embryonic stem cells to treat spinal cord injuries.

The headquarters for orgasm, along the spinal nerve, is something called the sacral nerve root, which is back here.

I was airlifted from the scene of the accident by a rescue helicopter to a large spinal unit in Sydney.

Heart disease, stroke, diabetes, spinal cord injury, muscular dystrophy, retinal eye diseases are any of these conditions relevant, personally, to you?

As we speak, the world's first human embryonic stem cell trial for spinal cord injury is currently underway following the USFDA approval.

And here is actually the spinal column and the whole torso encased in a sandstone block, because she was buried by a river.

And there were no superficial conversations as we shared our innermost thoughts, our fears, and our hopes for life after the spinal ward.

Well the body works by starting a motor command in your brain, going down your spinal cord, out the nerves and to your periphery.

And it is a fact that you can trigger spinal reflexes in dead people a certain kind of dead person, a beating heart cadaver.

And I was a long, long way from that spinal ward, and I knew right then that I was going to be a pilot.

As China s leaders continue to push for more control over Hong Kong, spinal shivers are likely to become an increasingly common feature of life there.

People with spinal cord injuries, like paraplegias, quadriplegias, will often develop a very, very sensitive area right above the level of their injury, wherever that is.

And even lying paralyzed in the spinal ward, there were moments of incredible depth and richness, of authenticity and connection that I had never experienced before.

These cells, called glial cells, were once thought to be unimportant structural elements of the spinal cord that did nothing more than hold all the important things together,

He had seen a variety of internal and external medical specialists, and had had an MRI spinal examination, physiotherapy for his back and an X ray thyroid gland examination.

In these cases, stem cells would be encouraged to restore nerve tissue. This would also benefit patients with brain and spinal injuries, or those who have suffered strokes and paralysis.

These cells, called glial cells, were once thought to be unimportant structural elements of the spinal cord that did nothing more than hold all the important things together, like the nerves.

Instead of it being the case that that junction box in the spinal cord is just simple where one nerve connects with the next nerve by releasing these little brown packets of chemical information called neurotransmitters in a linear one on one fashion, in fact, what happens is the neurotransmitters spill out in three dimensions laterally, vertically, up and down in the spinal cord and they start interacting with other adjacent cells.

I shared the ward with five other people, and the amazing thing is that because we were all lying paralyzed in a spinal ward, we didn't know what each other looked like.

As one of the consequences of war, there are high rates registered of amputations, lesions of the spinal cord and bone marrow, traumatic injuries of brain, lesions of peripheral nerves and multiple traumas.

And then I found myself back at that same school where I'd gone for that very first flight, teaching other people how to fly, just under 18 months after I'd left the spinal ward.

But then the doctor came over to me, and she said, Janine, the operation was a success, and we've picked as much bone out of your spinal cord as we could, but the damage is permanent.

That night, when the passengers would be sleeping, he would give it one more fold, and the second day, he would be wearing a fireman's cap with a little shoot just like a designer cap, because it protects the spinal cord.

Anyway, as you'll see in a moment, Susana was able to turn on the flight motor of what's the equivalent of the spinal cord of these flies and get some of the headless bodies to actually take off and fly away.

And you can see, they're ranging from shoes, rings that were made out of stainless steal, phone covers out of plastic, all the way through to spinal implants, for example, that were created out of medical grade titanium, and engine parts.

If you hit your thumb with a hammer, these wires in your arm that, of course, we call nerves transmit the information into the junction box in the spinal cord where new wires, new nerves, take the information up to the brain where you become consciously aware that your thumb is now hurt.
