Lumbar Vertebrae Morphological Analysis and an Additional Approach for Vertebrae Identification in Lumbar Spine DXA Images [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2020
Bone mineral density measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard for diagnosis of osteoporosis. However, DXA interpretation can be influenced by analytic errors which can, in turn, interfere with diagnostic accuracy. One such source of potential error is the accurate identification of specific lumbar vertebrae on lumbar ...

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 ...

Associations between birth season and lumbar spine bone mineral density in perimenopausal Polish women

Anthropological Review, 2023
In European populations, the birth season significantly correlates with many biological features. It is thus possible that the observed clinical effects of bone metabolism disorders are a partial consequence of bone mineral density (BMD), modified by the

Prognostic Significance of GLIM‐Defined Malnutrition in Patients With Resectable Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Following Upfront Surgery

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The GLIM criteria are effective prognostic predictors in patients with resectable PDAC undergoing upfront surgery. Preoperative nutritional assessment using these criteria may contribute to determining treatment plans for resectable PDAC. ABSTRACT Aim Regarding the resectability of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC), not only anatomical factors but also ...

Impact of Sarcopenia During Induction Treatment in Patients With Unresectable Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chemotherapeutic advances have increased opportunities for conversion surgery (CS) in unresectable locally advanced (UR‐LA) pancreatic cancer (PC). However, the optimal indications for CS remain unclear. Sarcopenia has been associated with poor outcomes in PC, except UR‐LA PC. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the impact of sarcopenia on

Histological evidence for a supraspinous ligament in sauropod dinosaurs [PDF]

, 2015
Supraspinous ossified rods have been reported in the sacra of some derived sauropod dinosaurs. Although different hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin ofthis structure, histological evidence has never been provided to support or reject any

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 ...
