Finite Element Study of Oxygen Diffusion in the Intervertebral Disc
Advances in Bioengineering, 2000 Abstract The intervertebral disc consists of a water-rich extra-cellular matrix which is synthesized and maintained by its cells. The disc is the largest avascular tissue in the body with its cells lying as much as 8mm away from the blood supply.

Computational investigation of sulphate diffusion into the dog disc
2011 18th Iranian Conference of Biomedical Engineering (ICBME), 2011 We proposed a model to investigate the transient diffusion of drug (sulphate) into the intervertebral disc. Using finite element method, drug diffusion was simulated and the concentration of diffused drug in each region of disc including Nucleus pulpous (NP), Inner annulus fibroses (IA), and Outer annulus fibroses (OA) was measured.

Ankara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Mecmuas, 2008 Purpose: To evaluate the correlation of the diffusion values in lumbar intervertebral discs with disc degeneration and age.Materials and Methods: Diffusion-weighted imaging of the lumbar spine was performed in fifty patients. ADC values were recorded for each disc. All discs were visually as being normal or as showing at least one of two MR findings of

Computational simulation of the intervertebral disc [PDF]
, 2013 The intervertebral disc is a complex structure unlike any other in the human body. The capability to withstand high loads and deformations in six degrees of freedom is facilitated by the unique soft tissue structures. However, the mechanical behaviour of

Diffusion of antibiotics in intervertebral disc [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanics, 2018 Delivering charged antibiotics to the intervertebral disc is challenging because of the avascular, negatively charged extracellular matrix (ECM) of the tissue. The purpose of this study was to measure the apparent diffusion coefficient of two clinically relevant, charged antibiotics, vancomycin (positively charged) and oxacillin (negatively charged) in
