Intervertebral disc characterization by shear wave elastography: an in-vitro preliminary study [PDF]

, 2014
Patient-specific numerical simulation of the spine is a useful tool both in clinic and research. While geometrical personalization of the spine is no more an issue, thanks to recent technological advances, non-invasive personalization of soft tissue’s ...

A comparison of interferential current efficacy in elderly intervertebral disc degeneration patients with or without sarcopenia: a retrospective study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Intervertebral disc degeneration and sarcopenia are both age-related diseases without effective treatments. Their comorbidities may worsen the prognosis, and further studies on interaction and therapy are needed.

Machine learning and single-cell analysis identify the mitophagy-associated gene TOMM22 as a potential diagnostic biomarker for intervertebral disc degeneration

Heliyon
Background: Mitophagy selectively eliminates potentially cytotoxic and damaged mitochondria and effectively prevents excessive cytotoxicity from damaged mitochondria, thereby attenuating inflammatory and oxidative responses.

A novel rat model of lumbar disc herniation induced by puncture: accurate positioning and controllable degree of herniation

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Background Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is the serious stage of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), and the location and degree of intervertebral disc herniation are closely related to clinical symptoms and signs.
