>Greetings: This Dr Ropper is clearly been investigating tm for guite sometime. I have a degraded copy of one of his studies he and another Dr Poskanzer had done in 1975. Titled "Prognosis of Acute and Subacute Transverse Myelopathy Based on Early Sighs and Systems" and find it clearly a complete study for it's time. Would he be open to updating my library with any new studies he's been involved with? Or could you or he give me the surch string so as I can get it through Medline? Thank you and God bless you //DCjones {Dave}
