The intradiscal failure pressure on porcine lumbar intervertebral discs: an experimental approach
The intervertebral disc is submitted to complex loading during its normal daily activities which are responsible for variations of the hydrostatic pressure in its structure. Thus, the determination of the magnitude of failure hydrostatic pressure is essential as a potential for the evaluation of the mechanisms that promote the weakening and the disruption of the annular fibers, commonly linked ...
متن کاملAn Operative Series of Lumbar Intervertebral Discs
THIS is a review of one hundred cases taken from approximately five hundred cases operated upon in Musgrave Park Hospital during the past twelve years. These cases have been selected because of positive findings of disc prolapse demonstrated at operation. The time from operation varies from twelve years to one year, the average length of follow-up being seven years and the majority of cases bei...
متن کاملMeasuring 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 کاملSympathetic afferent units from lumbar intervertebral discs.
To clarify the pathomechanisms of discogenic low back pain, the sympathetic afferent discharge originating from the L5-L6 disc via the L2 root were investigated neurophysiologically in 31 Lewis rats. Sympathetic afferent units were recorded from the L2 root connected to the lumbar sympathetic trunk by rami communicantes. The L5-L6 discs were mechanically probed, stimulated electrically to evoke...
متن کاملAn immunohistochemical study of mechanoreceptors in lumbar spine intervertebral discs.
There are limited data concerning mechanoreceptors in normal human lumbar intervertebral discs. The aim of our study was to determine the types of mechanoreceptors in the two lower intervertebral discs in normal adult cadaveric donors and to review the literature. Twenty-five lumbar (L4-5 and L5-S1) intervertebral discs were retrieved from 15 fresh cadavers. We utilized immunoreactivity against...
