Age- and Level-Dependence of Fatty Infiltration in Lumbar Paravertebral Muscles of Healthy Volunteers.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Normative age-related decline in paravertebral muscle quality is important for reference to disease and risk identification in patients. We aimed to establish age- and vertebral level-dependence of paravertebral (multifidus and erector spinae) muscle volume and fat content in healthy adult volunteers. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective study multifidus and erecto...
متن کاملRate of lumbar paravertebral muscle fat infiltration versus spinal degeneration in asymptomatic populations: an age-aggregated cross-sectional simulation study
BACKGROUND The spinal column including its vertebrae and disks has been well examined and extensively reported in relation to age-aggregated degeneration. In contrast, paravertebral muscles are poorly represented in describing normative degeneration. Increasing evidence points to the importance of paravertebral muscle quality in low back health, and their potential as a modifiable factor in low...
متن کاملLumbar plexus or lumbar paravertebral blocks?
In Reply:—Drs. Parker and Behringer correctly point out that in our review on the potential toxic effects of nitrous oxide we did not cover its contribution to the greenhouse effect; this omission was predicated by considerations of space, direct relevance to patient care, and a lack of relevant data that is less than 20 yr old. Correctly, Drs. Parker and Behringer indicate that nitrous oxide c...
متن کاملVolumetric and Fatty Infiltration Imbalance of Deep Paravertebral Muscles in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
BACKGROUND Several studies have described the differences in electromyographic activity and histological changes of paravertebral muscles in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). However, there is little knowledge about the muscle volumetric and fatty infiltration imbalance of patients with AIS. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-four patients with AIS were evaluated with standardized a...
متن کامل[Congenital ptosis associated with fatty infiltration of levator eyelid muscle].
PURPOSE To quantify the fat in the levator muscle of patients with congenital ptosis, as related to clinical and epidemiological aspects of this disease. METHODS Twenty-two levator muscle samples of the superior eyelid from patients with congenital ptosis were morphometrically evaluated with aim of establishing a relationship between the fat quantity and age, sex, ptosis degree and levator mu...
