Vertebral osteomyelitis in a healthy young adult.

A 39-year-old African American man with no significant past medical history presented to our hospital with right hand weakness and pain in both arms. He had no fever, neck pain, headache, dizziness, vision changes, or weakness in his lower extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine showed extensive abnormal enhancement of the C7-T1 vertebral bodies as well as the prevertebral...

Lymphoid aggregates in gonads of embryos, hatchlings, and young of turtles with temperature-dependent sex determination.

Cellular infiltrations forming lymphoid-like aggregates were previously observed in gonads of two turtle species exhibiting temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD): at hatching in Chelydra serpentina; at and after hatching in Emys orbicularis. We show here that such aggregates are also present in gonads of Testudo graeca by the end of embryonic development, suggesting that their occurrenc...

Regional variation of vertebral endplates strength

Anterior column of the spine, especially vertebral endplates, plays an important role in intervertebral spinal reconstruction. Therefore the intrinsic benefits associated with the use of intervertebral implants, there are many complications that can be observed with the use of this support. One of the most common of those problems is subsidence of the implant into the vertebral body [1].This ca...
