41. Hyperthermia/Hypothermia Because of spinal cord injury, the temperature of the body has an increased tendency to fluctuate according to the temperature of the environment. http://calder.med.miami.edu/pointis/hype.html

OTHER COMPLICATIONS OF SPINAL CORD INJURY: HYPERTHERMIA/HYPOTHERMIA Because of your spinal cord injury, the temperature of your body has an increased tendency to fluctuate according to the temperature of the environment. If you are in a hot room your temperature may increase (hyperthermia); if you are in a cold room, your temperature may decrease (hypothermia). This occurs because of the altered function of the autonomic nervous system. The higher the level of injury, the greater the tendency for fluctuations in your body temperature. Hyperthermia Hyperthermia refers to an elevation in body temperature. For example, it may occur on a hot day if you are out-of-doors, sitting in a hot car, or covered with too many blankets. One or more of the following symptoms may indicate hyperthermia: Skin feels hot and dry and appears flushed. Feeling of weakness Dizziness Visual disturbances Headache Nausea Elevated temperature Pulse is generally rapid and may be irregular or weak. It is important that you attempt to prevent hyperthermia when exposed to an overheated environment.

50. Spinal Cord Injury: Smoking And SCI For SCI survivors who smoke there's even more bad news and more ill health effects than general population. http://www.spinalinjury.net/html/_smoking_and_sci.html

Site menu Home Spinal cord 101 Rehabilitation Chat room ... About this site Please consider making a donation to help keep this website online Sign the guestbook View the guestbook New on DVD You've heard this before... You most likely have heard all the reasons to stop smoking lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, shorter life expectancy yet, it's a pleasure, a stress reliever or an old friend you are unwilling to give up following your spinal cord injury. Or, you simply may be willing to take your chances despite all the evidence of how harmful smoking is. Besides, quitting can be pretty difficult. Additionally, smoking further reduces the total lung capacity already decreased by SCI and diminishes the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream used to nourish tissues and power muscles. Finally smoking can further increase an already heightened risk for bladder cancer. When we think of breathing, we usually think about getting air in . Often times with SCI, and especially with SCI and cigarette smoking, getting air out can be even more important. Why? Because a buildup of mucus and various secretions in the lungs can lead to problems. Smoking increases the production of this mucus and contributes to congestion. Normally, this buildup is coughed out. However, the muscles responsible for coughing are affected with cervical injuries, and to a varying degree with thoracic injuries as well. An impaired ability to cough can frequently lead to atelectasis, which is a collapse of the honeycomb-like air sacs that often causes secretions to become trapped in the lungs. The secretions build up and may lead to pneumonia, one of the more common causes of both sickness and death with SCI. Smoking increases the production of this mucus and contributes to congestion.

52. Edgar Cayce's Perspective On Spinal Cord Injury A synopsis of Edgar Cayce's readings on spinal cord injury. http://www.webspawner.com/users/ecsperspectiveonsci/

Edgar Cayce's Perspective on Spinal Cord Injury By Dudley Delany, R.N., M.A., D.C. As a former SCI nurse, I have a particular interest in spinal cord injuries and in Edgar Cayce's approach to treating them. I have, therefore, taken the liberty of preparing this synopsis of Cayce's readings on that topic in the hope that, by the grace of God, it will inspire and motivate many SCI sufferers to experiment and work with those readings to obtain a greater level of both feeling and functioning. Cayce gave readings for five individuals afflicted with spinal cord injury, four of whom were paraplegics, and one of whom was a quadraplegic. EDGAR CAYCE'S READINGS FOR SCI PARAPLEGICS Case 1535 Background : This case involves a female who, as a result of a car accident at the age of 16, became paralyzed from the waist down. Surgery was performed nine weeks later to remove pressure from the spinal cord, but her paralysis persisted. She received her one and only Cayce reading (1535-1) in 1938 at the age of 21. Prognosis : Good.
