The effect of experimental low back pain on lumbar muscle activity in people with a history of clinical low back pain: a muscle functional MRI study [PDF]

, 2015
In people with a history of low back pain (LBP), structural and functional alterations have been observed at several peripheral and central levels of the sensorimotor pathway. These existing alterations might interact with the way the sensorimotor system

Reliability of the endurance test for the erector spinae muscle [PDF]

Fisioterapia em Movimento, 2016
Abstract Introduction: The low resistance of the erector spinae has been seen as a risk factor for developing chronic low back pain. The test of the erector spinae muscle endurance advocated by Biering-Sorensen has been used to assess the strength of the erector spinae muscle.

Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Simultaneous Learning of Erector Spinae Muscles for Automatic Segmentation of Site-Specific Skeletal Muscles in Body CT Images

IEEE Access
Skeletal muscle segmentation of the L3 slice can be used to estimate total body skeletal muscle mass. However, site-specific three-dimensional (3D) segmentation of each region, such as the erector spinae, quadratus lumborum, psoas major, oblique muscle ...

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Gemcitabine/Cisplatin/S‐1 for Resectable Biliary Tract Cancer With FDG‐PET‐Positive Lymph Node Metastasis (KHBO1201): A Multicenter Phase II Trial

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant gemcitabine, cisplatin, and S‐1 (GCS) chemotherapy for resectable biliary tract cancer (BTC) and FDG‐PET‐positive lymph nodes in a multicenter phase II study (KHBO1201). Methods Patients with resectable BTC (intrahepatic/extrahepatic bile duct, gallbladder, or ampullary cancers) and ...
