Measuring Dimensions of Lumbar Intervertebral Discs in Normal Subjects
Introduction: Disc degeneration is a natural aging process characterized by changes in appearance and chemical structure of the disc. This degeneration leads to back pain. In regard to the limitation of current therapeutical methods for patients with degenerated discs, arthroplasty has been suggested as an alternative method. To manufacture artificial discs for Iranians, determining normal lumb...
متن کاملMechanotransduction in intervertebral discs
Mechanotransduction plays a critical role in intracellular functioning--it allows cells to translate external physical forces into internal biochemical activities, thereby affecting processes ranging from proliferation and apoptosis to gene expression and protein synthesis in a complex web of interactions and reactions. Accordingly, aberrant mechanotransduction can either lead to, or be a resul...
متن کاملMechanical profiling of intervertebral discs.
Despite recent advances in imaging diagnostic technology and additional treatment options our ability to prevent or inhibit discogenic back pain has not drastically improved. The challenge of linking early degenerative patterns to dysfunction and pain remains. Using a novel material testing device designated the tissue diagnostic instrument (TDI) we measured the local stiffness and strain energ...
متن کاملRadiological calcification of intervertebral discs in children.
It seems strange that a child should develop calcification of the intervertebral discs, a process which is generally regarded as degenerative in nature, but such is the case in the rare disorder first described by Bairon in 1924. There are only 16 cases of this condition in children described in the literature, the most complete description being that of Silverman (1954) who reported seven case...
متن کاملCalcification of intervertebral discs in children.
Calcification of intervertebral discs was first described by Calve and Galland (1922). Since then many other cases have been recorded, the calcification usually occurring in the nucleus pulposus but occasionally in the peripheral part of the intervertebral disc. The condition may cause vague symptoms, but in most cases it is an accidental finding on radiographic examination, apparently causing ...
