Analysis of Nkx3.1:Cre-driven Erk5 deletion reveals a profound spinal deformity which is linked to increased osteoclast activity [PDF]
, 2017 Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 5 (ERK5) has been implicated during development and carcinogenesis. Nkx3.1-mediated Cre expression is a useful strategy to genetically manipulate the mouse prostate. While grossly normal at birth, we observed

Evaluation of thoracic vertebrae rotation in patients with pectus excavatum. [PDF]
Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc, 2017 The aim of our study was to evaluate thoracic vertebrae rotation in patients with pectus excavatum. Moreover, we wanted to assess the prevalence, the severity and relationship between pectus excavatum and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).We performed retrospective analysis of 82 preoperative chest CT in children with pectus excavatum performed ...

Improving Vertebra Segmentation through Joint Vertebra-Rib Atlases [PDF]
, 2016 Accurate spine segmentation allows for improved identification and quantitative characterization of abnormalities of the vertebra, such as vertebral fractures. However, in existing automated vertebra segmentation methods on computed tomography (CT) images, leakage into nearby bones such as ribs occurs due to the close proximity of these visibly intense

Role of the ribs in the onset and progression of idiopathic scoliosis
Zdravniški Vestnik, 2017 The pathogenesis of idiopathic scoliosis is still a matter of debate as its common cause has not been found. But some basic principles of its onset and progression do exist.

Functional cervicothoracic boundary modified by anatomical shifts in the neck of giraffes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Here we examined the kinematic function of the morpho- logically unique first thoracic vertebra in giraffes. The first thoracic vertebra of the giraffe displayed similar shape to the seventh cervical vertebra in general ruminants.

Giant schwannoma of thoracic vertebra: A case report
World Journal of Clinical Cases, 2021 BACKGROUND: It is relatively rare for schwannomas to invade bone, but it is very rare for a large mass to form concurrently in the paravertebral region. Surgical resection is the only effective treatment. Because of the extensive tumor involvement and the many important surrounding structures, the tumor needs to be fully exposed. Most of the tumors are

Effects of vertebral number variations on carcass traits and genotyping of Vertnin candidate gene in Kazakh sheep [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2017 Objective The vertebral number is associated with body length and carcass traits, which represents an economically important trait in farm animals. The variation of vertebral number has been observed in a few mammalian species.

An Efficient and Robust Method for Chest X-Ray Rib Suppression that Improves Pulmonary Abnormality Diagnosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Suppression of thoracic bone shadows on chest X-rays (CXRs) has been indicated to improve the diagnosis of pulmonary disease. Previous approaches can be categorized as unsupervised physical and supervised deep learning models. Nevertheless, with physical models able to preserve morphological details but at the cost of extremely long processing time ...
