چکیده
Abstract Numerous studies are based on the use of animal models; however, in bipedal and tetrapedal organisms there significant differences biomechanics spinal column, which can significantly impair quality applicability results obtained. The aim this study is to obtain basic data morphometric parameters guinea pig lumbar vertebrae, analysis will indicate location biggest mechanical load. vertebra morphometry test was performed by means X-ray imageing obtained from 12 pigs, with equal numbers males females. investigations show that vertebrae have an irregular trapezoid geometry measured body lengths L4 L5 largest. height determined medial level showed had most concave body. Moreover, greatest depth canal at same measurement level. Consequently, load region, unlike humans, where, due axial highest pressure exerted last vertebrae.

Karyotype of Hairless Guinea pig
Chromosomal patterns of experimental animals are useful tools for cytogenetics research and animal breeding. Chromosome investigations of the hairless guinea pig are rare, therefore, karyotype of hairless guinea pigs (twelve male and female) was studied using metaphase spreads of bone marrows and G banding techniques. The chromosomes diploid number was 2n= 64 and polymorphism of three type chro...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Morphology of Lumbar Disc Herniation and MRI Changes in Adjacent Vertebral Bodies
Background: Intervertebral disc herniation has two common types, extrusion and protrusion, which may affect the adjacent vertebrae.In addition, it is associated with significant signal changes in T1 MRI (short TR/TE) and T2 MRI (long TR/TE). Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional analytic one, in which sampling was performed retrospectively. Cases were randomly selected from the pa...
متن کاملAdjacent vertebral failure after vertebroplasty. A biomechanical investigation.
Vertebroplasty, which is the percutaneous injection of bone cement into vertebral bodies has recently been used to treat painful osteoporotic compression fractures. Early clinical results have been encouraging, but very little is known about the consequences of augmentation with cement for the adjacent, non-augmented level. We therefore measured the overall failure, strength and structural stif...
