By Sloan Brewster, Record-Journal staff CHESHIRE — Lying in her bed sick with pain after a spinal cord injury, Kate Nicoll had a constant companion — her dog Sam. That got Nicoll thinking. "I thought there was a healing presence to our connection," Nicoll said. "I could have gotten depressed but I didn't ... because he would motivate me." Nicoll began to do some research and look into ways that the healing presence of animals could be harnessed to help people, especially children. She took a home course on trauma and got another dog, a Welsh corgi shepherd mix named Bear. Nicoll trained Bear to work with patients and respond without fear to settings such as hospitals and the sounds of machinery including oxygen tanks and other noises common in that type of setting. He is now certified to do animal-assisted therapy.

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Sexuality and Spinal Cord Injury where we are and where we are going Sexual Response Treatment of Sexual Dysfunction Treatment of Male Infertility Conclusion Marca L. Sipski, M.D. 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. Sexual Response 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

What is Spinal Cord Injury? Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that results in a loss of function such as mobility or feeling. Frequent causes of damage are trauma (car accident, gunshot, falls, etc.) or disease (polio, spina bifida, Friedreich's Ataxia, etc.). The spinal cord does not have to be severed in order for a loss of functioning to occur. In fact, in most people with SCI, the spinal cord is intact, but the damage to it results in loss of functioning. SCI is very different from back injuries such as ruptured disks, spinal stenosis or pinched nerves. A person can "break their back or neck" yet not sustain a spinal cord injury if only the bones around the spinal cord (the vertebrae) are damaged, but the spinal cord is not affected. In these situations, the individual may not experience paralysis after the bones are stabilized.

Parkinson's Disease Research Contact: Juanita J. Anders Room B2047 4301 Jones Bridge Road Bethesda, MD 20814 janders@usuhs.mil Lab Focus: Dr. Anders’ current research activities include: 1. A multi-treatment approach to enhance regeneration of the corticospinal tract and restore corticospinal tract function after acute spinal cord injury in adult rats. Combined treatments include olfactory ensheathing cell transplantation and application of a synthetic glucocorticoid steroid, methylprednisolone. 2. The use of photobiomodulation (low power laser irradiation) to promote regeneration of acutely transected corticospinal tract axons. The regeneration of corticospinal tract axons through and beyond the lesion site is determined quantitatively and reinnervation of the target tissue is determined by behavioral testing. 3. A number of research projects are underway on an animal model of type II diabetes, the Fat Sand Rat (Psammomys obesus). These projects include: the characterization of peripheral diabetic neuropathy in this animal model, the use of Optical Coherence Tomography (a novel non-invasive imaging technique), to observe changes that occur in cutaneous nerves and microvessels during the development of diabetes induced peripheral neuropathy, and use of photobiomodulation as a therapy for impaired wound healing in the diabetic animal.

Questions Comments Submit A Link Submit Story BBS Chat Visit our Sponsors! Who is the National Spinal Cord Injury Association? In order to assist the 7,800 individuals who sustain a SCI each year, and the 400,000 persons living with spinal cord injuries, the National Spinal Cord Injury Association was established in 1948. The NSCIA has many chapters throughout the United States. Some members have physical disabilities while others do not. Chapter members participate in a variety of activities. They work with local and national officials and agencies to develop better programs and services and act as community advocates for improved access, housing, transportation, employment, and leisure time activities for disabled people. Peer support and other services are also provided. These are fundamental aspects of living that 500,000 people with spinal cord injuries or diseases must cope with after they have been rehabilitated and have returned to community life. More and more persons are getting involved in activities of the NSCIA. Through the collective efforts of staff, chapters, board members, and other volunteers, the Association is improving care, producing results in research, and addressing everyday living issues that confront all people who use wheelchairs.

It has proved to be invaluable to me and has allowed me to keep connections and make new friends nationally. An outlet for ruminations, reflections and images from my life. As my physical strength builds I'm finding it easier and faster to work on my virtual home. I would like to extend thanks to Noah Grey , for his photography and site design. His generosity to the online community and mastery of the visual image is outstanding. Photographs: The majority of photographs displayed have been taken after my accident. The few taken before are under the classic section which I will update infrequently as I slowly ruffle through dusty cardboard boxes and sun-stained books. My education in photography is limited, I've never taken a class on the technicalities and correct composition so I exhibit these images as sporadic junction of light and time. They are of the small things that sit motionless, blow in the wind or grow in our windowsills. Unable to hold the camera steady, I adapted a tripod and attached it to the front of my wheelchair. It allows me to wheel around and snap close-ups. I would be flattered and I encourage visitors to share my photos and use them at will. For reprints and commercial inquisitions please

I have enjoyed playing and writing music my whole life. I now write music on my Ensoniq EPS 16 synthesizer keyboard and record on my computer. To record music on my computer I use n-Track studio software. On my site I offer samples of music I have written and recorded in MP3 and Real Audio format. You can download all 12 mp3s on my Downlod music page. I also have links for home recording and music promotion for the indie musician. I suffered a spinal cord injury in 1992 and am a C6 quadriplegic. Come listen to some samples of my music and see that life doesn't end after a spinal cord injury. Links - Music Fasoft Download the n-Track Studio demo and give it a try. There is also a forum where you can ask questions, get feedback and find helpful tips for home recording. HomeRecording.com This site has an incredible amount of information with tutorials, forums, and equipment reviews. Go here if you want to find out about digital or tape recording in your home. PG music is another source for computer recording software. Power Tracks Pro Audio is a great program if you're interested in recording using midi. They offer companion software such as multimedia CDs, tutorial CDs, and software for midi recording. This software offers an incredible number of features for audio and midi recording, but it was much more than I needed. There is also a forum at this site. The Recording Website This site has a large message board and lots of information on different types of recording. Great place to go to find out how to record different instruments, and even has a few examples to listen to.
