The aim of this study was to determine whether early surgical treatment results in better neurological recovery 12 months after injury than late surgical treatment in patients with acute traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI). Patients with tSCI requiring surgical spinal decompression presenting to 17 centres in Europe were recruited. Depending on the timing of decompression, patients were divided into early (≤ 12 hours after injury) and late (> 12 hours and < 14 days after injury) groups. The American Spinal Injury Association neurological (ASIA) examination was performed at baseline (after injury but before decompression) and at 12 months. The primary endpoint was the change in Lower Extremity Motor Score (LEMS) from baseline to 12 months.Aims

1. Electro-physiological studies have been made in a case of "tourniquet paralysis" of the upper limb produced by the application of a pneumatic cuff. 2. The results indicate that an important part of the persistent
1 . Twenty-one cases of poliomyelitis and twenty cases of brachial plexus injury in which muscle transplantations had been performed to restore elbow flexion have been reviewed. The average follow-up period was four and a half years. 2. The results were graded objectively and subjectively. They were better when passive extension of the elbow was limited; such limitation always occurs after Steindler's operation, but infrequently after pectoral transplantation. 3. The results of pectoral transplantation are good when there is no significant shoulder
