An investigation into the effectiveness of collagenase for the percutaneous discolysis of thoracolumbar intervertebral discs in the dog : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Veterinary Science at Massey University [PDF]

, 1993
This investigation compared the effectiveness of chemonucleolysis with 500 units of collagenase, to lateral fenestration of the thoracolumbar intervertebral discs of the non-chondrodystrophoid dog.

Targeting FABP4 to Inhibit AGEs‐RAGE/NF‐κB Signalling Effectively Ameliorates Nucleus Pulposus Dysfunction and Angiogenesis in Obesity‐Related Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Obesity promotes the progression of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) through the mTORC1/FABP4 axis. Targeting FABP4 effectively ameliorates nucleus pulposus dysfunction and angiogenesis in obesity‐related IVDD. ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a primary contributor to low back pain, posing significant social and economic ...

Degenerative relationships in lumbar intervertebral discs and facet joints: an MRI-based comparative study of asymptomatic individuals and patients with chronic and intermittent low back pain

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Degeneration of intervertebral discs and facet joints are common conditions that are thought to be interrelated. This study aimed to investigate the morphological interplay between disc and facet degeneration, as well as relationships between adjacent ...

Apparent diffusion in nucleus pulposus is associated with pain and mobility improvements after spinal mobilization for acute low back pain [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Pain perception, trunk mobility in flexion, extension, and lateral flexion, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) within nucleus pulposus of all lumbar discs were collected before and after posterior-to-anterior mobilization in 16 adults with acute low back pain.

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.

Spinal ataxia and computed tomography findings in a Poitou donkey affected with congenital occipitoatlantoaxial malformation

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 3‐year‐old Poitou donkey was referred for a computed tomography (CT) examination of the cervical spine due to acute deterioration of spinal ataxia. Neurological assessment revealed restricted neck mobility, hypermetria and circumduction of all limbs, indicating a grade 2 out of 5 ataxia.

Diffusion-Based Semantic Segmentation of Lumbar Spine MRI Scans of Lower Back Pain Patients [PDF]

arXiv
This study introduces a diffusion-based framework for robust and accurate segmenton of vertebrae, intervertebral discs (IVDs), and spinal canal from Magnetic Resonance Imaging~(MRI) scans of patients with low back pain (LBP), regardless of whether the scans are T1w or T2-weighted.

Serglycin secreted by late-stage nucleus pulposus cells is a biomarker of intervertebral disc degeneration

Nature Communications
Intervertebral disc degeneration is a natural process during aging and a leading cause of lower back pain. Here, we generate a comprehensive atlas of nucleus pulposus cells using single-cell RNA-seq analysis of human nucleus pulposus tissues (three males
