Delivering mesenchymal stem cells in collagen microsphere carriers to rabbit degenerative disc - Reduced risk of osteophyte formation. [PDF]
, 2014 Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the potential to treat early intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. However, during intradiscal injection, the vast majority of cells leaked out even in the presence of hydrogel carrier.

Neural Network Surrogate and Projected Gradient Descent for Fast and Reliable Finite Element Model Calibration: a Case Study on an Intervertebral Disc [PDF]
Accurate calibration of finite element (FE) models is essential across various biomechanical applications, including human intervertebral discs (IVDs), to ensure their reliability and use in diagnosing and planning treatments. However, traditional calibration methods are computationally intensive, requiring iterative, derivative-free optimization ...

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 ...

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.In this study, we present the concept of SCBS and proved that SCBS is a reliable and quantitative indicator in surgical decision‐making for patients with irreducible subaxial cervical fracture‐dislocation with bilateral locked facet joints. For patients with positive SCBS, a posterior reduction with lateral mass/pedicle screw fixation was safe to ...
