L5 spondylolysis increases segmental mobility at the cranial adjacent level without altering intervertebral disc contact pressure

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
ObjectiveWhile lumbar spondylolysis has been biomechanically associated with subsequent spondylolisthesis and disc degeneration, its implications on cranial adjacent segments remain unclear.

Compressive load bearing and bone architecture of lumbar vertebrae in terms of sex and aging [PDF]

, 2004
Relation between vertebral compressive strength and trabecular architecture is presented in terms of aging and sex. Complex in vitro medical-engineering analysis of cadaver human lumbar L1 and L2 vertebrae was executed: densitometry, CT, MRI, mechanical ...

Effectiveness of Pre‐Transplant Dual GLP‐1 Receptor Agonist and SGLT2 Inhibitor Therapy on All‐Cause Mortality in Organ Transplantation Candidates with Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes: a Target‐Trial Emulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This target trial emulation in solid organ transplant candidates with obesity and type 2 diabetes evaluates whether pre‐transplant dual therapy with GLP‐1 receptor agonists plus SGLT2 inhibitors is associated with post‐transplant mortality and kidney graft outcomes compared with monotherapy or usual care, using multinational electronic health records ...

In Vivo Measurements Reveal Increased Nucleus Pulposus Lactate and Oxygen Concentrations in a Goat Model of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

JOR Spine
Introduction Intervertebral disc degeneration is strongly implicated as a cause of low back pain. Although the precise pathophysiological mechanisms remain elusive, perturbations in nutrition that adversely impact the cellular microenvironment of the ...

Impact of Sarcopenia During Induction Treatment in Patients With Unresectable Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chemotherapeutic advances have increased opportunities for conversion surgery (CS) in unresectable locally advanced (UR‐LA) pancreatic cancer (PC). However, the optimal indications for CS remain unclear. Sarcopenia has been associated with poor outcomes in PC, except UR‐LA PC. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the impact of sarcopenia on

Lumbar Spine Location in Fluoroscopic Images by Evidence Gathering

, 2000
Low back pain (LBP) is a very common problem and lumbar segmental instability is one of the causes. It is important to investigate lumbar spine movement in order to understand instability better and as an aid to diagnosis.

Prognostic Utility of the Preoperative Cachexia Index in Patients Undergoing Emergency Laparotomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The preoperative cachexia index, incorporating muscle mass, nutritional status, and inflammation, predicts in‐hospital and one‐year mortality in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. This simple index may aid in risk stratification and perioperative decision‐making in high‐risk surgical patients. ABSTRACT Aim Emergency laparotomy is associated with
