    Extractions: "Our goal is to create more public awareness and to raise funds for the spinal cord society. Scientists agree that a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as other nerve related disorders, is well on its way. Continued research through the Reeve-Irvine Research Center and others alike, depend largely on funds. People need to know that these scientists and researchers are this close, but can only go so far without the proper funds. They need to go forth without swaying to and fro staying focused with clarity of mind aiming for their goal. The public does not know just how important nor close they are in changing the future for thousands of Americans."

    http://www.ed.gov/pubs/AmericanRehab/spring97/sp9707.html
    
    Extractions: Maintaining a healthy sex life after spinal cord injury is an important priority to many people. Fortunately, over the past few years a large amount of research has begun to be performed in this area. Whereas in the past our knowledge about the field of spinal cord injury was exclusively focused on males and erectile function, recent work has begun to illustrate the impact of spinal cord injury on female sexuality. Moreover, recent gains in the study of infertility after spinal cord injury have allowed professionals to approach the care of newly injured patients with optimism for their potential in sexual functioning. In this article, I will provide a basic review of what is known about sexual functioning after spinal cord injury and the impact on patients. The effect of spinal cord injury on sexual response is generally discussed based upon the degree of completeness or incompleteness of the patient's injury and whether the neurologic damage affecting the individual's sacral spinal segments is an upper or lower motor neuron injury. Whether a spinal cord injury is considered complete or incomplete is determined by whether they have voluntary rectal contraction and whether they have the ability to perceive sensation around their rectum. As males have external genitalia, questionnaire studies have been utilized to determine the impact on erections and ejaculations, depending on their extent of injury. In males with complete spinal cord injuries and upper motor neuron injuries affecting their sacral segments, there is a loss of psychogenic

About this site Please consider making a donation to help keep this website online Sign the guestbook View the guestbook New on DVD You've heard this before... You most likely have heard all the reasons to stop smoking lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, shorter life expectancy yet, it's a pleasure, a stress reliever or an old friend you are unwilling to give up following your spinal cord injury. Or, you simply may be willing to take your chances despite all the evidence of how harmful smoking is. Besides, quitting can be pretty difficult. Additionally, smoking further reduces the total lung capacity already decreased by SCI and diminishes the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream used to nourish tissues and power muscles. Finally smoking can further increase an already heightened risk for bladder cancer. When we think of breathing, we usually think about getting air in . Often times with SCI, and especially with SCI and cigarette smoking, getting air out can be even more important. Why? Because a buildup of mucus and various secretions in the lungs can lead to problems. Smoking increases the production of this mucus and contributes to congestion. Normally, this buildup is coughed out. However, the muscles responsible for coughing are affected with cervical injuries, and to a varying degree with thoracic injuries as well. An impaired ability to cough can frequently lead to atelectasis, which is a collapse of the honeycomb-like air sacs that often causes secretions to become trapped in the lungs. The secretions build up and may lead to pneumonia, one of the more common causes of both sickness and death with SCI. Smoking increases the production of this mucus and contributes to congestion.
