Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).

“Inside Disc Out” Discectomy for the Treatment of Discogenic Lumbar Spinal Canal Stenosis under the Intervertebral Foramen Endoscope

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 355-361, January 2023., 2023
The therapeutic strategy and effect of “inside disc out” discectomy under intervertebral foramen endoscope technique for discogenic lumbar spinal canal stenosis (DLSS) treatment is relatively safe and effective. Objective Conventional posterior‐approach decompression surgeries have a higher risk of nerve root injury and dura laceration.

Context-Aware Transformers For Spinal Cancer Detection and Radiological Grading [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
This paper proposes a novel transformer-based model architecture for medical imaging problems involving analysis of vertebrae. It considers two applications of such models in MR images: (a) detection of spinal metastases and the related conditions of vertebral fractures and metastatic cord compression, (b) radiological grading of common degenerative ...

Matrix modification for enhancing the transport properties of the human cartilage endplate to improve disc nutrition. [PDF]

, 2019
Poor solute transport through the cartilage endplate (CEP) impairs disc nutrition and could be a key factor that limits the success of intradiscal biologic therapies.

Preoperative Cervical Cobb Angle Is a Risk Factor for Postoperative Axial Neck Pain after Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion with Zero‐Profile Interbody

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 14, Issue 12, Page 3225-3232, December 2022., 2022
We focused on deciphering the risk factors of postoperative axial pain after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with zero‐profile implant in single‐level CSM in this study. Through comparison of the clinical and radiological parameters of severe and mild axial pain patient groups, we found that pre‐operative C2–C7 Cobb angle significantly ...

Self-Supervised Learning for Spinal MRIs [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
A significant proportion of patients scanned in a clinical setting have follow-up scans. We show in this work that such longitudinal scans alone can be used as a form of 'free' self-supervision for training a deep network. We demonstrate this self-supervised learning for the case of T2-weighted sagittal lumbar Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs).

Seat pan angle optimization for vehicle ride comfort using finite element model of human spine [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Ride comfort of the driver/occupant of a vehicle has been usually analyzed by multibody biodynamic models of human beings. Accurate modeling of critical segments of the human body, e.g. the spine requires these models to have a very high number of segments.

In Vivo Mouse Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Model Based on a New Histological Classification. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Although human intervertebral disc degeneration can lead to several spinal diseases, its pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to create a new histological classification applicable to an in vivo mouse intervertebral disc degeneration model ...

Pharmacological Effects of Resveratrol in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration: A Literature Review

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 14, Issue 12, Page 3141-3149, December 2022., 2022
The intervertebral disc acts as the load‐bearing component of the spine and is composed of three closely connected parts: inner nucleus pulposus (NP), peripheral annulus fibrosus (AF) and outer cartilage endplate (CEP). IDD is a complex disease including multiple pathological processes.
