The distribution, determinants, and clinical correlates of vertebral osteophytosis: A population based survey [PDF]
Objective. Vertebral osteophytes are a characteristic feature of intervertebral disc degeneration. There are, however, few population data concerning the occurrence of and clinico-biological correlates of vertebral osteophytes in both the dorsal and ...

Two cases of skeletal fluorosis from the historic cemetery at Zhangwan, Henan Province, China
Abstract Skeletal fluorosis is a systemic chronic disease caused by long‐term intake of excessive fluoride, which accumulates in bone tissue and causes changes to the bone and periosteal tissue. Skeletal fluorosis is rarely considered in paleopathological analyses, but in areas with relatively high fluoride in the environment, it may be an important ...

An update on mobility assessment of dogs with musculoskeletal disease
Mobility impairments associated with musculoskeletal diseases, such as osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease, affect approximately 200,000 dogs annually and pose a notable challenge to canine health and welfare. Osteoarthritis causes the remodelling of synovial joints, alongside inflammation and impaired mechanical function which can be ...

Objective Many patients with acromegaly, a hormonal disorder with excessive growth hormone (GH) production, report pain in joints. We undertook this study to characterize the joint pathology of mice with overexpression of bovine GH (bGH) or a GH receptor antagonist (GHa) and to investigate the effect of GH on regulation of chondrocyte cellular ...

A novel meningioma with tyrosine‐rich crystals in a 6‐year‐old Great Dane
Abstract A 6‐year‐old female spayed Great Dane was evaluated for acute onset cluster seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) identified a mass in the olfactory bulbs with a large mucoid component caudal to the primary mass. The mass was removed via transfrontal craniotomy and histopathology revealed a tyrosine crystalline‐rich, fibrous meningioma ...

Rare and Common Variants in GALNT3 May Affect Bone Mass Independently of Phosphate Metabolism
ABSTRACT Anabolic treatment options for osteoporosis remain limited. One approach to discovering novel anabolic drug targets is to identify genetic causes of extreme high bone mass (HBM). We investigated a pedigree with unexplained HBM within the UK HBM study, a national cohort of probands with HBM and their relatives. Whole exome sequencing (WES) in a

Intervertebral disc degeneration and how it leads to low back pain
Data generated by animal models over the last decade has made invaluable contributions to the identification of molecular events occurring in and contributing to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration and pain generation and has identified several potential therapeutic targets.
