The PRESTIGE® Cervical Disc offers patients with radiculopathy and myelopathy related to degenerative cervical disc disease (DDD) in the cervical spine an alternative to spinal fusion surgery. Constructed of stainless steel in a unique, two-piece ball-and-trough configuration, the device is designed to maintain motion at the treated vertebral segment.
Each vertebra in the spine is separated by a shock absorbing disc, which is made up largely of water. As discs lose water content because of disease, injury or age, they compress, or lose height, which causes the vertebrae to move closer together. This reduces the disc's shock absorbing qualities, which may lead to bone spurs and narrowing of the nerve openings. If a disc ruptures, it can place pressure on the surrounding nerve roots and the spinal cord, resulting in pain, numbness and/or weakness.
Your doctor may recommend surgery if non-surgical treatment fails to provide relief from these symptoms. Traditionally, a procedure called an anterior cervical discectomy with fusion (ACDF) has been the "gold standard" for surgically treating DDD in the cervical spine.

Johns Hopkins researchers have shown that brain damage was reduced by as much as 62.2 percent in mice who inhale low amounts of carbon monoxide after an induced stroke. The scientists say that although carbon monoxide (CO) gas has a long reputation as an odorless, colorless cause of organ damage and even death, there is now evidence that it can protect nerve cells from damage. Some of the brain damage associated with stroke results directly from a cut-off in blood supply to nerve cells.

National Institutes of Health U.S. researchers have developed a hand-exercising robotic device that appears to help stroke victims recover motor skills, even more than six months after a stroke. Brain scans suggested that the device, which patients squeeze with their stroke-afflicted hands, boosted activity in the part of the brain that handles use of the hands. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, trailing only heart disease and cancer, and a leading cause of severe long-term disability. An estimated 700,000 cases of stroke are diagnosed in the country annually.

Using positron emission tomography (PET) researchers associated with the journal ‘Biological Psychiatry’ have found out that a mechanism of brain inflammation is a major reason behind the development of schizophrenia. This has led them to suggest that anti-inflammatory agents hold a potential for use in the treatment of schizophrenia. They further maintain that medications under this category with powers to target, especially, the activation of microglia need to be studied.
