Direct Automated Quantitative Measurement of Spine via Cascade Amplifier Regression Network [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Automated quantitative measurement of the spine (i.e., multiple indices estimation of heights, widths, areas, and so on for the vertebral body and disc) is of the utmost importance in clinical spinal disease diagnoses, such as osteoporosis, intervertebral disc degeneration, and lumbar disc herniation, yet still an unprecedented challenge due to the ...

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 ...

The Biomechanical Effects of Different Bag‐Carrying Styles on Lumbar Spine and Paraspinal Muscles: A Combined Musculoskeletal and Finite Element Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 315-327, January 2023., 2023
The finite element models were combined with the musculoskeletal models to evaluate the biomechanical effects of different bag‐carrying styles on lumbar spine and paraspinal muscles. Peak stress on intervertebral discs increased linearly with bag weight in the backpack model and shoulder bag model, and increased exponentially in the handbag model ...

Anterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion Surgery for Cervical Spondylosis with Concomitant Tinnitus: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 133-140, January 2023., 2023
Anterior cervical decompression and fusion can effectively alleviate tinnitus associated with cervical spondylosis. The TFI score and tinnitus loudness were reduced immediately after cervical decompression surgery and this was sustained at 12 months. Objective Cervical spondylosis is often accompanied by tinnitus.

How many radiographs are needed to re-train a deep learning system for object detection? [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Background: Object detection in radiograph computer vision has largely benefited from progress in deep convolutional neural networks and can, for example, annotate a radiograph with a box around a knee joint or intervertebral disc. Is deep learning capable of detect small (less than 1% of the image) in radiographs?

Comparison of Long‐Term Outcomes between the n‐HA/PA66 Cage and the PEEK Cage Used in Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Lumbar Degenerative Disease: A Matched‐Pair Case Control Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 152-161, January 2023., 2023
Both n‐HA/PA66 and PEEK cages can achieve satisfactory long‐term clinical and radiographic outcomes in TLIF, while the n‐HA/PA66 group showed significantly larger cage union ratios than the PEEK group. And n‐HA/PA66 cage is an ideal alternative material comparable to the PEEK cage in TLIF.

BMP13 Prevents the Effects of Annular Injury in an Ovine Model [PDF]

, 2009
Chronic back pain is a global health problem affecting millions of people worldwide and carries significant economic and social morbidities. Intervertebral disc damage and degeneration is a major cause of back pain, characterised by histological and ...

FGF4 retrogene on CFA12 is responsible for chondrodystrophy and intervertebral disc disease in dogs. [PDF]

, 2017
Chondrodystrophy in dogs is defined by dysplastic, shortened long bones and premature degeneration and calcification of intervertebral discs. Independent genome-wide association analyses for skeletal dysplasia (short limbs) within a single breed ...

Mild (not severe) disc degeneration is implicated in the progression of bilateral L5 spondylolysis to spondylolisthesis [PDF]

, 2018
© 2018 The Author(s). Background: Spondylolytic (or lytic) spondylolisthesis is often associated with disc degeneration at the index-level; however, it is not clear if disc degeneration is the cause or the consequence of lytic spondylolisthesis. The main

New Mechanics of Spinal Injury [PDF]

, 2008
The prediction and prevention of spinal injury is an important aspect of preventive health science. The spine, or vertebral column, represents a chain of 26 movable vertebral bodies, joint together by transversal viscoelastic intervertebral discs and longitudinal elastic tendons. This paper proposes a new locally-coupled loading-rate hypothesis}, which
