Mini Thoracotomy Approach to Upper Thoracic Spine
Neuroscience and Medicine, 2018 Upper thoracic spine lesions are characterized by delayed diagnosis due to nonspecific symptoms and its anterior aspect (T1 - T4) is difficult to be approached surgically. This retrospective clinical study was done to assess the efficacy of mini thoracotomy approach in management of these lesions. We studied 14 cases with upper thoracic spine different

Effects of Resistance Footrest on Spine Posture in Visual Display Terminal Workers
Physical Therapy Korea, 2021 Background: Flat-back posture refers to a posture in which the pelvis is tilted backward, the lumbar spine is bent, the upper thoracic spine is increasingly bent, and the lower thoracic spine is straight. Given that most of the day is spent sitting, we

Percutaneous approach to the upper thoracic spine: optimal patient positioning [PDF]
European Spine Journal, 2009 Percutaneous access to the upper thoracic vertebrae under fluoroscopic guidance is challenging. We describe our positioning technique facilitating optimal visualisation of the high thoracic vertebrae in the prone position. This allows safe practice of kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty and biopsy throughout the upper thoracic spine.

Clinical Validation of Plasma p‐217tau in Neurological Diseases
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Plasma p‐217tau is a minimally invasive but specific biomarker for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its disease specificity remains to be clinically evaluated. We validated the reliability of the p‐217tau biomarker in 12 other neurological diseases.
