Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in multiorgan system dysfunction. Previously, SCI portended reduced survival and diminished quality of life. However, with increasing awareness and advances in the management of complications from SCI, individuals are living longer and more satisfying lives. This article summarizes major interventions and advances in the management of patients who have SCI. Fundamental principles of SCI are reviewed by organ system and key points are highlighted.

    Asymmetric dark matter models are based on the hypothesis that the present-day abundance of dark matter has the same origin as the abundance of ordinary or visible matter: an asymmetry in the number densities of particles and antiparticles. They are largely motivated by the observed similarity in t...
