Partial Differential Equations in Applied MathematicsIn this paper, we investigate the effect of body weight on the lumbar spine with different spinal canal sizes when humans bend down by using the finite element method. Lumbar spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal.

Method of epidural adhesiolysis in the treatment of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis
Bolʹ, Sustavy, Pozvonočnik, 2018 Background. Degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis is a chronic process that eventually leads to a decrease in the size of the osseous ligamentous spine and is accompanied by the following clinical symptoms: neurodegenerative intermittent claudication ...

Predictors and outcomes of crossover to surgery from physical therapy for meniscal tear and osteoarthritis a randomized trial comparing physical therapy and surgery [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) combined with physical therapy (PT) have yielded pain relief similar to that provided by PT alone in randomized trials of subjects with a degenerative meniscal tear. However, many patients randomized to

MRI-based Surgical Planning for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
, 2017 The most common reason for spinal surgery in elderly patients is lumbar spinal stenosis(LSS). For LSS, treatment decisions based on clinical and radiological information as well as personal experience of the surgeon shows large variance.

A Population‐Based Study of Limb Body Wall Complex With Proposed Features for Prenatal Diagnosis
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Limb body wall complex (LBWC) is a lethal condition comprising major congenital anomalies. Although currently diagnosed in the early prenatal period, historical diagnostic criteria are based on detailed pathological assessments. Prenatal and postnatal findings of LBWC and their phenotypic overlap with body stalk anomaly (BSA) and recurrent ...

MANAGEMENT OF LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS [PDF]
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1996 The term stenosis means a narrowing of the calibre of an orifice or a tube. It causes a decreased flow of fluids or gasses within the tube or compression of its solid contents (Verbiest 1976). In the case of the spinal canal, the term indicates a pathological condition causing compression of the contents of the canal, particularly the neural structures.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Population‐specific thresholds have not been defined for the levels of adiposity and systemic biomarkers that predict chronic health risks in people with restricted growth conditions. Here, anthropometric measures of adiposity, basal metabolic requirements, and fasted blood samples were obtained from adults with restricted growth (age 41 ± 14 ...
