Adjacent segment disease and C-ADR: promises fulfilled?
STUDY DESIGN Systematic review. CLINICAL QUESTION Do the rates and timing of adjacent segment disease (ASD) differ between cervical total disc arthroplasty (C-ADR) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in patients treated for cervical degenerative disc disease? METHODS A systematic search of MEDLINE/PubMed and bibliographies of key articles was done to identify studies with ...

متن کاملTargeting survivin in cancer therapy: fulfilled promises and open questions.
Survivin is a bifunctional protein that acts as a suppressor of apoptosis and plays a central role in cell division. The protein is strongly expressed in the most common human neoplasms, has prognostic relevance for some of them and appears to be involved in tumor cell resistance to anticancer agents and ionizing radiation. On the basis of these findings, survivin has been proposed as an attrac...
متن کاملUpdate on the evidence for adjacent segment degeneration and disease.
BACKGROUND CONTEXT The evidence surrounding the topic of adjacent segment degeneration and disease has increased dramatically with an abundant amount of literature discussing the incidence of and techniques to avoid it. However, this evidence is often confusing to discern because of various definitions of both adjacent segment degeneration and disease. PURPOSE To organize and review the recen...
متن کاملCongenital stenosis and adjacent segment disease in the cervical spine.
Symptomatic adjacent segment disease (ASD) after anterior cervical fusion (ACF) is reported in 25% of patients at 10 years postoperatively. Debate continues as to whether this degeneration is due to the natural history of the disk or the changed biomechanics after ACF. This study explored whether congenital stenosis predisposes patients to an increased incidence of ASD after ACF. A retrospectiv...
