Multi‐center benchmarking of cervical spinal cord RF coils for 7 T MRI: A traveling spines study

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The depth within the body, small diameter, long length, and varying tissue surrounding the spinal cord impose specific considerations when designing RF coils. The optimal coil configuration for 7 T cervical spinal cord MRI is unknown and currently there are very few coil options.

Lack of evidence for involvement of TonEBP and hyperosmotic stimulus in induction of autophagy in the nucleus pulposus. [PDF]

, 2017
Nucleus pulposus (NP) cells reside in a physiologically hyperosmotic environment within the intervertebral disc. TonEBP/NFAT5 is an osmo-sensitive transcription factor that controls expression of genes critical for cell survival under hyperosmotic ...

The TBXT rs2305089 SNP links the benign notochordal cell tumour and chordoma

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this research was to investigate the pathogenesis of the bone cancer chordoma and the role of the germline rs2305089 SNP in TBXT. Using medical imaging and genotyping studies, we observed that benign notochordal cell tumours (BNCTs) were associated with chordomas and with the variant rs2305089 A‐allele with enrichment of the AA ...

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 ...
