Influence of disc height and strain-dependent solute diffusivity on metabolic transport in patient-personalized intervertebral disc models

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
IntroductionIntervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a primary contributor to low back pain, with nutritional stress due to the IVD’s avascularity recognized as a key factor.

The effect of sustained compression on oxygen metabolic transport in the intervertebral disc decreases with degenerative changes.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2011
Intervertebral disc metabolic transport is essential to the functional spine and provides the cells with the nutrients necessary to tissue maintenance. Disc degenerative changes alter the tissue mechanics, but interactions between mechanical loading and ...

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.

Comparative evaluation of in vitro activity of tigecycline using the disc diffusion method and the VITEK-2 COMPACT in clinical isolates at a tertiary care cancer center [PDF]

Medical Laboratory Journal
Background: Tigecycline susceptibility testing and reporting remain enigmatic due to the lack of established guidelines. Disc diffusion, as a method of performing susceptibility testing, is more widely accepted worldwide due to its ease of use.
