Analysis of the Justification for Spinal Computed Tomography (CT) Scans Performed in Togo

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
The undeniable benefits of irradiating examinations such as CT scans should not overshadow their potential harmful effects, particularly late risks. Hence it is important to justify CT scans requested for patients. This study revealed that a significant number of spinal CT scans performed in developing countries such as Togo were not a priori justified,

Glenosphere Tilt and Size Predict Shoulder Kinematics During the Hand‐to‐Back Motion After Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Internal rotation (IR) is not reliably improved after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). This study aimed to identify surgical parameters that predict kinematics of the hand‐to‐back motion (H2B) after RSA and to identify associations between kinematics and clinical outcomes after RSA.

Making vertebrate fossil radiocarbon dates more useful for global scientific research

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Radiocarbon dating of bones is essential for reconstructing timelines of species' occurrences, domestication, extinction, migrations, and interactions with Quaternary environments. Many studies compile these chronologies at continental to global scales by aggregating radiocarbon dates from various sources, often balancing data quantity and ...

Simultaneous zero echo time fMRI of rat brain and spinal cord

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Functional assessments of the central nervous system (CNS) are essential for many areas of research. fMRI typically targets either the brain or the spinal cord, but usually not both, because of the obstacles associated with simultaneous image acquisitions from distant fields of view (FOVs) with conventional MRI.

T2 Hyperintensities in Gracile Tracts of Cervical Spinal Cord in Giant Axonal Neuropathy (GAN)

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disease due to the absence or loss of function of the gigaxonin gene. Pathologic findings in GAN are those of “dying‐back” axonal degeneration, in which the distal axon degenerates but the more proximal axon and neuronal cell body remain intact.

Quantitative Analysis of Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture Risk on Pre-Existing CT

Haseki Tıp Bülteni, 2019
Aim:Recent research has shown that the measurement of vertebrae bone density on computed tomography for diagnosis of osteoporosis is associated with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Our aim was to compare vertebra bone density on pre-existing CT images (

Cuon Versus Canis: A Comparative Guide to the Morphological Distinction of Postcranial Bones and Its Archaeo‐Paleontological Implications

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The genera Cuon and Canis are part of the carnivore guild during the late Middle and Late Pleistocene in Europe. However, most identifications in archaeo‐palaeontological contexts are made on cranial and dental elements as these are taxonomically the most diagnostic anatomical regions.
