Aim. The pathogenesis of heterotopic ossification (HO) is still unclear and the preventive measures and therapies are usually insufficient. The authors compared free radical scavengers with placebo in order to assess the magnitude of their inhibitory effect on the development of HO. Methods. A standard immobilization-manipulation model was used to ...
Study design: Cross-sectional study. Objective: Pulmonary functional capacity in 23 Brazilian quadriplegic subjects (ASIA A), aged 30 (9.5) years, weight 66 (10.75) kg, height 176 (7) cm, was investigated at 42 ( 64) months postinjury. Setting: University Hospital-UNICAMP, Campinas, Brazil. Method: Subjects performed forced vital capacity ( FVC) an...
