“…The most recent advances in experimental SCI investigations exist in the disciplines of neurobiology. 7,9 The discovery of stem cells and their application in SCI appears to be promising. 7,9,17 The inhibitory role of central nervous system myelin in the regeneration of axons is being elucidated; this discovery has led to the development and study of various antibodies against these targets to promote spinal cord recovery.…”

“…Clinically, functional neuromuscular stimulation may provide the patient with SCI direct control over various portions of the body through computer and electrical impulses. 7 Developments in this area are rapid and offer exciting opportunities for the future. Further advances in MR imaging technology may allow both researchers and clinicians to visualize SCI on a molecular level with the progress in MR spectroscopy.…”

There are few more devastating injuries that afflict man than those associated with spinal cord injury (SCI). The economic, psychological, and social impact are encompassing and enormous to the individual and society. During the last several years, there has been a renewed interest in the study of SCI, with the hope of finding a cure. It is appropriate, then, to examine the efforts accomplished throughout medical history. With this retrospective view, potential avenues for future treatment become more apparent and clear. As in the past, the integration of basic science and clinical innovation will create the path toward progress for treatment of this disease.

“…Some of these advances were stated in my Donald Munro Memorial Lecture and an abridged version of this was published in Paraplegia in 1992. 5 Some examples of ongoing new work and also some controversial topics that I felt should be considered by me as the Editor of`Spinal Cord' and hopefully will lead to the writing and then the submission of articles for consideration for publication in our journal are now set out, quite brie¯y, as headings in this list: I have mentioned some of the main activities and duties required from a medical journal Editor. It is a hectic, demanding but really quite enjoyable and even exciting job.…”
