Assessing the real benefits of surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis without instability and spondylolisthesis: a single surgeon experience with a mean 8-year follow-up [PDF]

, 2018
Background: The degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis is one of the most commonly treated spinal disorders in older adults; despite its increasing frequency, it is not yet clear what the most effective therapy might be.

Machine learning-based preoperative predictive analytics for lumbar spinal stenosis.

Neurosurgical Focus, 2019
OBJECTIVEPatient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following decompression surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) demonstrate considerable heterogeneity. Individualized prediction tools can provide valuable insights for shared decision-making.

Antioxidant Carbon Dot of Selenomethionine Alleviates Oxidative Stress in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A selenomethionine‐derived carbon dot (Se‐Met‐CD) serves as a potent nano‐antioxidant, efficiently scavenging reactive oxygen species, protecting nucleus pulposus cells from oxidative damage, restoring extracellular matrix homeostasis, and significantly mitigating intervertebral disc degeneration in vivo, which demonstrates great promise as a nanozyme ...

Basal Metabolic Requirements, Biomarkers of Cardiometabolic Health, and Anthropometric Measures of Obesity in Women and Men With Restricted Growth Conditions

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 ...

Boundary Delineation of MRI Images for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Detection Through Semantic Segmentation Using Deep Neural Networks

IEEE Access, 2019
We propose a methodology to aid clinicians in performing lumbar spinal stenosis detection through semantic segmentation and delineation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the lumbar spine using deep learning. Our dataset contains MRI studies of

The Head Circumference Height Index (HCH‐I) to Quantify Relative Macrocephaly and Aid Identification of Hypochondroplasia in Children

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypochondroplasia (HCH) is a rare skeletal dysplasia caused by pathogenic variants in the FGFR3 gene. We hypothesized that the relative disproportion between head circumference and height in HCH might be diagnostically informative and generated a simple index of head‐stature disproportion to help pediatricians diagnose HCH.

Quantitative radiologic criteria for the diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis: a systematic literature review

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2011
Background Beside symptoms and clinical signs radiological findings are crucial in the diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). We investigate which quantitative radiological signs are described in the literature and which radilogical criteria are used

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Literature review and red‐flag symptom clusters for each cardiology specialty

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 955-967, April 2025.
Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...
