Transsphenoidal surgery for Cushing's disease: outcome in patients with a normal magnetic resonance imaging scan.

abstract：:This study investigated the differential effects of graded spinal cord injury on the rat extrapyramidal motor evoked potential (exp-MEP) and pyramidal motor evoked potential (pyr-MEP) and the prognostic value of these effects in predicting postinjury motor performance in the rat model. In 20 rats subjected to graded s...
