We study ways to improve cardiovascular, respiratory and autonomic function after spinal cord injury - @WestLabUBC members - @DRCRWest @UBC_CCDPM @ICORD_SCI

[Translational Integrative Physiology Laboratory @WestLabUBC]

We are looking for participants (with SCI and uninjured) for our project aimed at determining if there are differences in male and female hearts after SCI. More information on the project: https://t.co/mkBTzm0BI8 @AlexM_Williams @DrCRWest @ICORD_SCI

💓 It's unclear whether there are differences between male and female hearts after #SCI. Our researchers are looking for participants (both with SCI and uninjured) to take the first look at these sex-related differences. #ParticipantsNeeded

We are excited to share this new publication in collaboration with @ICORD_SCI titled “Spinal cord injury impairs cardiac function due to impaired bulbospinal sympathetic control”! Check it out here: https://t.co/u6Ny7Ij7E7 🎉

[Christopher West @DrCRWest]

Hot off the press. Super happy to share our new @ICORD_SCI collaborative study describing the timeline for changes in the heart following SCI and the role that the SNS plays. Particularly proud of Mary and Shane for leading this.Full text here: https://t.co/3uyqmiYUHZ

New publication alert in @JAMANeuro! ⭐️ Study looked at the utility of biomarkers for neuro-prognostication following cardiac arrest. Check it out here: https://t.co/U52xg9vPTx @RyanLeoHoiland @nafergusson @Mypster2 @dgriesdale

[JAMA Neurology @JAMANeuro]

Study found neurofilament light yielded the highest accuracy in predicting neurologic outcome in patients with hypoxic ischemic brain injury at 48 hours after return of spontaneous circulation. https://t.co/8fYRcyEqFA @RyanLeoHoiland @nafergusson @Mypster2

We are looking for participants in our study, which aims to seek insight into the healthcare experiences of individuals living with #SpinalCordInjury in the Interior of BC. If interested, please email [email protected] @praxis_sci @ICORD_SCI

[UF.BREATHE @UFBreathe]

Interested in the most recent #IntermittentHypoxia research and trials? We hope to see you today from 3-7pm EST for our final IH virtual workshop session. DM for the registration link.

@praxis_sci is currently recruiting individuals with spinal cord injury to participate in a focus group to discuss pressure injury and neuropathic pain - https://t.co/zDe0ZsnCae

[Praxis Spinal Cord Institute @praxis_sci]

Help deliver breakthroughs in 2022! Praxis is looking for individuals with #spinalcordinjury to take part in our Incubate #focusgroup! You can help us improve care & research by sharing your insights and experiences in pressure injury & neuropathic pain. https://t.co/7tHagLvvVe

@ajpheartcirc hosted @DrCRWest & @DrAaronPhillips on their podcast to discuss the recent manuscript on the cardiovascular responses to a mimicked orthostatic challenge post-SCI. 27 minutes you do not want to miss! https://t.co/XdvXfPjoYI #scicomm

[Christopher West @DrCRWest]

Thanks for having us on your latest podcast @ajpheartcirc. Was fun to discuss findings from our (with @DrAaronPhillips) recent manuscript on the CV responses to a mimicked orthostatic challenge post-SCI. Check it out below! @ICORD_SCI @UBC_CCDPM @UBCcps

[VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation @VGHFdn]

Vancouver spinal surgeon Dr. Brian Kwon has donated $1M to establish a new “Living Lab” for spinal cord injury research and care, challenging the centuries-old story that permanent paralysis is permanent after a spinal cord injury.

[Liisa Wainman PhD @liisainthelab]

Proud to have published the first of my PhD studies developing a novel model of #SpinalCordInjury to investigate neurotherapeutic techniques on cardiovascular function

Big thanks to my team @ErskineErin @mehdiahmadian @Matthew__Hanna @DrCRWest for their support and hard work!

[Translational Integrative Physiology Laboratory @WestLabUBC]

We are looking for individuals with spinal cord injury that live in the B.C. interior to complete our short 15-minute survey about your experiences in obtaining healthcare. If interested, please contact Lisa at [email protected] or [email protected]

[Translational Integrative Physiology Laboratory @WestLabUBC]

We are incredibly inspired by Kyle and the many others that participate in research! Check out this article to learn more about the new cardiovascular exercise device for people with SCI called the AAPLEwalk™: https://t.co/IbLozgp9Y4

[ICORD @ICORD_SCI]

"I say yes to participating in research so I can help people with SCI live a healthier, easier life with fewer complications,” says Gieni. Read about his experience volunteering for 40 studies and learn about APPLEwalk, a new cardio exercise device for SCI
