Background Muscular weakness and/or muscle wasting is recognized as a key medical
problem in critically ill patients on intensive care units (ICUs) worldwide. Methods and Results …

Muscular weakness and muscle wasting may often be observed in critically ill patients on
intensive care units (ICUs) and may present as failure to wean from mechanical ventilation. …

Anatomical plasticity and functional recovery after lesions of the rodent corticospinal tract (CST)
decrease postnatally in parallel with myelin formation. Myelin-associated neurite growth …

After a lesion of the mature CNS, structural plasticity and functional recovery are very limited,
in contrast to the developing CNS. The postnatal decrease in plasticity is correlated in time …

Background and Purpose— Decompressive craniectomy (DC) lowers intracranial pressure
and improves outcome in patients with malignant middle cerebral artery stroke. Its usefulness …

Critical illness myopathy (CIM) is a primary myopathy associated with increased mortality and
morbidity, which frequently develops in severely ill patients. Several risk factors have been …

Objective: We compared motor and movement thresholds to transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) in healthy subjects and investigated the effect of different coil positions on …

Objective: To visualize and treat spinal dural CSF leaks in all patients with intractable
spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) who underwent spinal microsurgical exploration. …

Patients in intensive care units frequently suffer muscle weakness and atrophy due to critical
illness polyneuropathy (CIP), an axonal neuropathy associated with systemic inflammatory …
