Dear Professor,
Greetings to your initiative to start a blog related to Brain and Spine. I think that neurosciences deserve an effort concerning up-to-date knowledge in relation to everyday practice. When this effort is achieved through the academic community then one result is for sure. Success!
I wish you the very best in this difficult task.

Hi, my son had a near drowning on the 9th of April 2006. Samuels brain injury caused his spine to twist and turn with severe scoliosis which crushed 1 lung and was then damaging other major organs. Because of all the dystonia, Samuel was given an intratheical baclofen pump and then soon after he had his spine rodded and fused but not fully straight as he is very osteopaenic so he gets bisphosphonates to strengthen his bones. Even through hypoxia I think there is a huge link between the brain and the spine even though others say its muscular and the brain. My son will be 7 in August 2010. Since his brain injury I have been so aware of how important that organ is and that so many people take it for granted.
Samuels spinal xrays are very impressive, if you would like me to send you copies please let me know.
I have started a blog called drowningsurvivor.com

If you have problems with your back, the best thing to do is to go to a specialist who knows exactly what he is doing. Although Orthopedic doctors have the know-how when it comes to these types of surgeries, an expert who focuses on the spine and spine surgery is still your best bet.

انا مصاب منذ ثلاثة شهور بأنفجار غضروف العمود الفقرى بين فقرتان نتيجة حركة فجائية و عندى 23 سنة و الدكتور المعالج نصحنى بالراحة التامة حتى شهرين اخرين حيث ان حالتى فى المرحلة الثانية و نصح بعدم التدخل الجراحى الان …فكنت اسأل هل من امل فى شفائى بدون جراحة ؟و ماذا عن شفط الغضروف هل لة أثار جانبية؟
