OBJECTIVE
To study lumbar vertebral degenerations of coal miners with low back pain.
METHODS
40 underground miners with low back pain, aged from 30 to 50 years and employed for a length from 10 to 30 years, were taken as observation group. 30 ground workers without low back pain but with almost the
BACKGROUND
Mixed use of T1- or T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in histographic analysis has impeded cross-reference of studies on fatty degeneration of muscles in patients with back pain.
OBJECTIVE
The current study aimed to establish the measurement reliability of histographic analysis
The goal of this cross-sectional observational study was to assess the possible impact of pineal gland calcification upon the intervertebral disc degeneration and abdominal aorta atherosclerosis in subjects with low back pain, and to investigate the course of these processes with aging. The study
METHODS
A case report describing thoracic intervertebral disc degeneration and spondylolisthesis associated with a Schmorl node in a young athlete, which was successfully treated by anterior interbody fusion (AIF).
OBJECTIVE
To describe a rare pathologic condition with a clinical outcome of a
Low back pain (LBP) is the world's most debilitating condition. Disk degeneration has been regarded as a strong determinant associated with LBP. Overweight and obesity are public health concerns that affect every population worldwide and whose prevalence continues to rise. Studies have indicated
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to examine the efficacy of spinal mobilization in subjects with low back pain (LBP) and associated spinal disk degeneration.
METHODS
Seventy-five subjects suffering from chronic LBP (>3 months) were randomly allocated into 3 groups of 25 subjects each. Each group
METHODS
A cross-sectional, population-based cohort study.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical relevance of skipped level disc degeneration (SLDD) to that of contiguous, multilevel disc degeneration (CMDD) of the lumbar spine. The study also aimed to identify patterns
Back pain is common and costly. Although lumbar disc degeneration has long been regarded as a major contributor to back pain, how disc degeneration leads to back pain remains unclear. Recent studies observed microglia activation in the spinal cord after disc degeneration, suggesting activated
Over a two-year period, 48 sequential patients were selected because they showed type I or II end plate changes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or had positive single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scan in the area of disc degeneration. They were selected out of a large
Cross-sectional study.The purpose of this study was to elucidate the relevance among Schmorl's node (SN), chronic low back pain (CLBP), and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) with the use of magnetic resonance imaging T2 OBJECTIVE
Does lumbar fusion lead to accelerated adjacent segment disc degeneration (ASDD) or is it explained by genetics and aging? The influence of genetics on ASDD remains to be explored. This study assesses whether the disc space height adjacent to a fused segment is associated with candidate
We present a series of 22 patients who were treated between 1997 and 2000 for mono- or bisegmental disc degeneration and spondylolisthesis grade I using Brantigan I/F ALIF cages. A ventral approach was chosen and no dorsal instrumentation was performed. Special emphasis was put on the preoperative
The aim was to elucidate elite swimming's possible influence on lumbar disc degeneration (DD) and low back pain (LBP).
Lumbar spine MRI was performed on a group of elite swimmers and compared to a matched Finnish population-based no-sport group.
One hundred elite swimmers and 96 no-sport adults,
METHODS
Cross-sectional study.
OBJECTIVE
To examine the influence of low-back pain (LBP) and lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) on the lumbar lordosis in weight-bearing positional magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI).
BACKGROUND
The lumbar lordosis increases with a change of position from supine to
Background context: The diagnosis of discogenic low back pain (LBP) from disc degeneration of the lumbar spine is often evaluated with discography. Non-invasive, simple screening methods other than invasive discography are useful, as
