Lumbar offset distance: A simplified metric for evaluation of the lumbar spine alignment

Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine
Background: A healthy lower back is essential for optimal spinal function and overall wellness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the gold standard in assessing lumbar spine disease.

Sequential Changes of Plasma C-Reactive Protein, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate and White Blood Cell Count in Spine Surgery : Comparison between Lumbar Open Discectomy and Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion. [PDF]

, 2014
ObjectiveC-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) are often utilized to evaluate for postoperative infection. Abnormal values may be detected after surgery even in case of non-infection because of muscle injury, transfusion ...

Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

Dietary phosphorus intake modifies the association between total cholesterol and lumbar spine bone mineral density: results from NHANES 2011–2016

Frontiers in Nutrition
BackgroundThe connection between total cholesterol (TC) and lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) is well-documented, yet the role of dietary phosphorus intake in this relationship is not fully understood. This cross-sectional study aims to explore how

Efficiency of spinal anesthesia versus general anesthesia for lumbar spinal surgery: a retrospective analysis of 544 patients. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown varying results in selected outcomes when directly comparing spinal anesthesia to general in lumbar surgery. Some studies have shown reduced surgical time, postoperative pain, time in the postanesthesia care unit ...

New partial skeleton of Homo habilis from the upper Burgi Member, Koobi Fora Formation, Ileret, Kenya

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract KNM‐ER 64061 is a partial skeleton from the upper Burgi Member of the Koobi Fora Formation (2.02–2.06 Ma) associated taphonomically and geochemically with a nearly complete mandibular dentition (KNM‐ER 64060) attributed to Homo habilis.

Polyetheretherketone as a Biomaterial for Spinal Applications [PDF]

, 2006
Threaded lumbar interbody spinal fusion devices (TIBFD) made from titanium have been reported to be 90% effective for single-level lumbar interbody fusion, although radiographic determination of fusion has been intensely debated in the literature.

Patterns of spinal motion, kinematic spaces and the land‐to‐sea transition in carnivorans

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Using 3D reconstructions, we quantify intervertebral joint mobility to investigate how cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebral regions evolved distinct kinematic roles in pinnipeds. The findings reveal lineage‐specific adaptations for swimming and highlight the functional significance of vertebral joint flexibility in ecological transitions.

The Impact of Nonsteroidal Anti‐Inflammatory Drugs on Radiographic Spinal Progression in Patients With Axial Spondyloarthritis: 10‐Year Results From an Inception Cohort

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective This study aims to investigate the impact of nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug (NSAID) intake on radiographic spinal progression in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), considering different NSAID types (COX‐2 inhibitors [COX2i] and nonselective NSAIDs [ns‐NSAIDs]) and disease subgroups (radiographic [r‐axSpA] and nonradiographic [nr‐axSpA ...
