Study assesses the effect of transcutaneous spinal stimulation on intrathecal baclofen pump in patients with spinal cord injury

Researchers from Kessler Foundation and Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation (collectively "Kessler") conducted the first prospective study to assess whether transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS) interacts with implanted intrathecal baclofen (ITB) pump delivery systems for managing spasticity.

Purine metabolite xanthine may play a role in Th17 cell differentiation in the gut

The gut is home to a cast of microbes that influence health and disease. Some types of microorganisms are thought to contribute to the development of inflammatory conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but the exact cascade of events that leads from microbes to immune cells to disease remains mysterious.
