Vertebral pathology has long been a useful criterion for anthropologists in the assessment of activity patterns, stress, and general health of extinct peoples. This method of analysis, however, has never been applied to the peoples of the Nebraska Great Plains. This study is the first to concentrate on the in­ digenous Native Americans of this region, examining the spinal pathology present in t...

Effective monitoring of degenerative patient conditions is crucial for many clinical decision-making problems. Leveraging the nowadays data-rich environments in many clinical settings, in this paper, we propose a novel clinical data fusion framework that can build a contemporaneous health index (CHI) for degenerative disease monitoring to quantify the severity of deterioration process over time...

The clinical outcome data for patients who had a particular intervention the lumbar degenerative disease is based on changes in symptomatology. This functional been acquired prospective manner using standard tools e.g., ODI, RMQ, SF-36 etc. Such may be lacking many facilities of developing countries due to various reasons. We are proposing retrospective comparative questionnaire obtain similar ...

Study Design Systematic review. Clinical Questions (1) Has the proportion and number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) as an indicator of quality of evidence regarding lumbar fusion increased over the past 10 years? (2) Is there a difference in the proportion of RCTs among the four primary fusion diagnoses (degenerative disk disease, spondylolisthesis, deformity, and adjacent segment disea...

in this issue of irjo movassat et al1 (p: 33-38) present a case series of leber's congenital amaurosis (lca). lca is the most severe form of inherited retinal dystrophy responsible for congenital blindness with an early age of onset and accounts for at least 5% of all inherited retinal diseases which affect about one in 3500 individuals in the world. usually degenerative anomalies of the r...

Background & Aim: Low back pain is broadly documented as one of the most widespread pathologies in the advanced domain. Although the reasons of low back pain are uncountable, it has been meaningfully related to intervertebral disc degeneration. Present therapies for Intervertebral Disc (IVD) degeneration such as physical therapy and spinal fusion reduce symptoms' severity, but do not treat the ...

: To realize a tool for automatic segmentation and detection of lumbar disc degenerative disease fractures in MRI images using convolutional neural networks. We developed, on one hand, Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS) with DICOM viewer (Digital Imaging Communications Medicine) to extract training data implement 2 CNN networks dedicated the task other analysis simple pathologies han...

The short-term advantage of mitral valve repair versus replacement for degenerative disease has been extensively documented. These advantages include lower operative mortality, improved survival, better preservation of leftventricular function, shorter post-operative hospital stay, lower total costs, and fewer valve-related complications, including thromboembolism, anticoagulation-related bleed...

The cerebellum is essentially involved in movement control and plays a critical role in motor learning. It has remained controversial whether patients with degenerative cerebellar disease benefit from high-intensity coordinative training. Moreover, it remains unclear by which training methods and mechanisms these patients might improve their motor performance. Here, we review evidence from diff...

We investigated a possible association between aggrecan gene polymorphism and lumbar degenerative disc disease in Turkish patients. One hundred 20-30-year-old patients with or without low back pain were selected for the study. Lumbar magnetic resonance imaging was performed on all patients. The patient group had low back pain clinically and degenerative disc disease radiographically. The ...
