Characterisation of spinal ligaments in the embryonic chick
Use of the embryonic chick provides an opportunity to examine the maturation of spinal ligaments during development, to inform anatomical defects in the spine. Abstract Ligaments are important connective tissues within the musculoskeletal system that connect bone to bone and provide support and stability.

Exhaustion of nucleus pulposus progenitor cells with ageing and degeneration of the intervertebral disc. [PDF]
Despite the high prevalence of intervertebral disc disease, little is known about changes in intervertebral disc cells and their regenerative potential with ageing and intervertebral disc degeneration.

The inflammatory-associated factors interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) are widely reported to be associated with intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IVDD).

This study compares the biomechanical effects of three anterior fixation systems in thoracolumbar surgery—HXTL, NHXTL, and Medtronic's CD Horizon ANTERIOR. Finite element analysis evaluates stress and displacement across vertebral bodies and support structures under varying load conditions. Results indicate the HXTL system minimizes nail–rod stress yet

Developed a staging system for adjacent segment disease based on degeneration characteristics. Verified the feasibility and reliability of stage‐guided surgical decision‐making through surgical data, radiological data, and follow‐up data. This staging system was closely correlated with intervertebral disc degeneration and disc height while also ...

Degenerative cervical spine disease – pathogenesis and symptoms
Cervical discopathy is a degenerative process in the intervertebral disc and the structure of the fibrous ring. Due to the processes of proteoglycan breakdown and collagen structure, the nucleus pulposus is dehydrated and susceptible to the damaging ...

Percutaneous disc decompression with nucleoplasty-volumetry of the nucleus pulposus using ultrahigh-field MRI. [PDF]
PURPOSE: To evaluate changes in nucleus pulposus volume as a potential parameter for the effects of disc decompression. METHODS: Fifty-two discs (T8 to L1) were extracted from 26 pigs and separated into thoracic (T8 to T11) and thoracolumbar discs (T12 ...

Prevalence and breed predisposition for thoracolumbar intervertebral disc disease in cats [PDF]
Objectives The objective was to evaluate the prevalence and possible breed predilections for thoracolumbar intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) in cats. Methods Medical records and imaging studies of cats diagnosed with thoracolumbar IVDD between January ...

Anterior cervical V‐shaped osteotomy and fusion (ACVF) is a procedure for posterior vertebral body decompression. Undamaged anterior vertebral endplate is assured for implant fixation, while adjacent intervertebral spaces were connected, proving complete decompression. Four patients who underwent ACVF had improved symptoms, an unimpaired fusion process,
