COLUMBUS, Ohio – A team of researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine have developed the first mouse model.

“This is the first and only mouse model that represents this type of injury in humans,” said Kelani, who led the team of Ohio State researchers. Ischemic spinal cord injury and paralysis occur when the stent graft blocks blood flow to the arteries that branch off from the aorta, reducing blood flow to the spinal cord (a condition known as “hypoperfusion”). “This collaborative work takes us much closer to finding treatments for ischemic spinal cord injury by now being able to model the most up-to-date surgical and therapeutic approaches for aortic aneurysms. Ohio State University has filed a patent application on the novel ISCI mouse model. Michele Basso](#), associate director of Ohio State’s School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, and creator of the Basso Mouse Scale for Locomotion. However, patients undergoing TEVAR are at risk of developing paralysis caused by ISCI as a result of disruptions to spinal cord blood flow during the procedure.

The Biden administration and state officials have reassured locals in eastern Ohio that there isn't a present danger after a massive release of toxic fumes.

Air monitoring results indicate that the air in the community is safe." "EPA provided air monitoring data to health agencies and the local fire department to help make this decision."
