Biomechanics of the Lumbar Spine
Annals of Medicine, 1989 The magnitude of low back pain in terms of its occurrence and cost is reviewed. The biomechanics of the lumbar spine are related to the functional anatomy. The disparate functional mechanical requirements of the spine, support, mobility, housing, protection and control are reviewed.

Association Between Motor Pathway Damage and Motor Deficit in Upper and Lower Limb in People With MS
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Corticospinal tract damage is common in people with MS, but the degree of clinical symptoms varies. We hypothesize that corticospinal tract lesions are more extensive and severe in people with MS with motor impairments in both upper and lower limbs.

Peripheral Neutrophil Activation and Extracellular Trap Formation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.Markers of neutrophil activation are increased in plasma during ALS, and markers of NET formation associate with ALS survival. ABSTRACT Objectives Peripheral neutrophil levels in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) inversely correlate with survival, suggesting a role for neutrophils in disease progression.

Effect of the lumbar scoliosis on the results of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry
Orthopedic Reviews, 2020 One of the most common causes of lumbar scoliosis in adults is the decreased bone mineral density (BMD). The scoliosis in the lumbar spine has a known effect over the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan results.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective We evaluated the role of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), prednisone, and other risk factors for bone mineral density (BMD) loss and osteoporosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods We calculated the association between 25(OH)D levels and other potential risk factors and BMD measures (spine T scores) and osteoporosis (defined as a T ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Pressure skin wounds are frequent complications after spinal cord injury (SCI), with impaired healing due to vascular and immune deficits. Elastin‐like polypeptides (ELP) fused to α‐MSH (MSH‐ELP) or MCP‐1 (MCP‐ELP) are developed and tested on these wounds. The resulting nanoparticles are non‐toxic and bioactive, and they enhance macrophage recruitment,

Correlation Between Bone Density and Lumbar Compression Fractures
Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, 2020 Objectives: Bone densitometry is widely used to evaluate osteoporosis; however, it is pointed out that bone density may be high in the case of fractures, deformities, and osteosclerotic changes.
