Whole-Genome Resequencing Reveals Loci Associated With Thoracic Vertebrae Number in Sheep [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 The number of vertebrae, especially thoracic vertebrae, is an important economic trait that may influence carcass length and meat production in animals. However, the genetic basis of vertebrae number in sheep is still poorly understood.

Rate of presence of 11 thoracic vertebrae and 6 lumbar vertebrae in asymptomatic Chinese adult volunteers [PDF]
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2018 Background An increasing number of studies on spinal morphology in asymptomatic Asian and Western patients have been reported. Variation in spinal anatomy among patients is considered as the cause of wrong-level surgery in up to 40% of cases. The present

Comparison of thoracic vertebrae and L1 CT attenuation in predicting osteoporosis using opportunistic chest CT [PDF]
Therapeutic Advances in Musculoskeletal DiseaseBackground: Since dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is currently the most commonly used reference standard, most previous studies using computed tomography (CT) attenuation values to predict osteoporosis have chosen abdominal CT images.

Clinical application of a modified wiltse approach in middle and lower thoracic vertebrae: a case-control study of thoracic fracture patients [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal DisordersBackground The Wiltse approach has been extensively employed in thoracolumbar surgeries due to its minimal muscle damage. However, in the middle and lower thoracic spine, the conventional Wiltse approach necessitates the severance of the latissimus dorsi
