Quantitative assessment of erector spinae muscles and prognosis in elderly patients with pneumonia. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2021
AbstractErector spinae muscle (ESM) size has been reported as a predictor of prognosis in patients with some respiratory diseases. This study aimed to assess the association of ESM size on all-cause in-hospital mortality among elderly patients with pneumonia.

The fatty degeneration of the lumbar erector spinae muscles affects dynamic spinal compensation ability during gait in adult spinal deformity [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
This study aimed to investigate whether fat infiltration in lumbar paravertebral muscles assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be related to dynamic sagittal spino-pelvic balance during gait in adult spinal deformity (ASD).

The cross-sectional area of erector spinae muscle and the liver-to-spleen ratio are associated with frailty in older patients with diabetes: a cross-sectional study [PDF]

BMC Geriatrics, 2023
Background Older patients with diabetes mellitus are more susceptible to frailty. Although some imaging markers of appendicular skeletal muscle mass obtained using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry or computed tomography (CT) imaging can reflect frailty ...

Measuring the paraspinal muscles as an important tool for predicting the overall survival period after spine surgery in lung cancer patients with spine metastasis [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Study design Retrospective cohort study Background Metastatic lung cancer in the spine is difficult to determine whether to perform an additional surgical intervention, as patients at the end stage of lung cancer often have low performance status with ...

Quantification of the Elastic Moduli of Lumbar Erector Spinae and Multifidus Muscles Using Shear-Wave Ultrasound Elastography

Applied Sciences, 2021
Although spinal surgeries with minimal incisions and a minimal amount of X-ray exposure (MIMA) mostly occur in a prone posture on a Wilson table, the prone posture’s effects on spinal muscles have not been investigated.
