Large cohort study of volunteers aged over 50.To investigate influence age and sex on cervical sagittal alignment among 50.Few large-scale studies have described normative values in spine regarding 50.The included 656 50 to 89 years. Pelvic tilt, sacral slope, pelvic incidence, lumbar lordosis, incidence-lumbar thoracic kyphosis, T1 slope (T1S), lordosis (CL), C7 vertical axis (C7 SVA), C2-C7 SVA, T1S-CL were measured using whole radiographs taken the standing position. Health-related...
Study Design. This investigation consisted of a cross-sectional study and retrospective multicenter case series. Objective. sought to identify the ideal lumbar lordosis (LL) angle for restoring an optimal pelvic tilt (PT) in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD). Summary Background Data. To achieve successful corrective fusion ASD sagittal imbalance, it is essential correct alignment obtain suitable inclination. We determined LL that would restore PT following surgery. Methods. The...
Prospective radiographical analysis using the cranial center of gravity (CCG) sagittal vertical axis (SVA) in elderly asymptomatic individuals.To determine sex differences and age-related correlations CCG relationships between other spinopelvic parameters/health-related quality life (HRQOL) measures.Few studies have investigated a relatively large sample individuals.Six hundred seventy-one healthy participants older than 50 years (mean age, 72.9 yr; range, 50-92 yr) were enrolled....
Study Design. A retrospective database study. Objective. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a sliding scale for predicting perioperative complications associated with adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. Summary Background Data. ASD surgery can have high complication rates, which is increased morbidity mortality. Methods. Data on consecutive patients undergoing posterior corrective over 6-year interval were collected from prospective database. patients’ preoperative general...
Retrospective study.To calculate the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for total and individual domains of Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) assess score distribution changes over time in surgically treated adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients.Despite common use ODI assessing ASD, there are no robust studies defining MCID values this index.This study included 240 consecutive ASD patients with a 2 years follow-up. We calculated using all or part Scoliosis Research Society-22R...
Study Design. A retrospective study of postoperative delirium after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. Objective. To identify the risk factors post-ASD surgery delirium, including nutritional state before Summary Background Data. Recently, malnutrition was reported as one delirium. The prognostic index (PNI) and controlling status (CONUT) scores are simple methods evaluation. However, there no reports that verify is related to PNI CONUT score in patients who have undergone ASD Methods....
Study Design. Retrospective case series. Objective. The present study aimed to determine the characteristics of patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) a discrepancy between standing and walking postures. Summary Background Data. Standing radiographic parameters are typically used evaluate ASD. Patients ASD relatively good sagittal alignment on radiography have, however, been reported walk forward trunk tilt. Methods. (n = 93; 13 men, 80 women; mean age, 65.0 yr) who underwent corrective...
Abstract Attenuation of the secondary injury spinal cord (SCI) can suppress spread tissue damage, possibly resulting in sparing that improve functional prognoses. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a haematological cytokine commonly used to treat neutropenia. Previous reports have shown G-CSF promotes recovery rodent models SCI. Based on preclinical results, we conducted early phase clinical trials, showing safety/feasibility and suggestive efficacy. These lines evidence...
Many complications are likely to occur in patients with malnutrition. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is often used when evaluating a patient's condition. However, no studies have investigated the association between status and postoperative medical or prognosis by using PNI field of spinal surgery. purpose this retrospective study was investigate prognoses who had undergone adult deformity (ASD) surgery, according their preoperative status.
Study Design. Double-blind randomized controlled trial. Objective. To assess the safety and efficacy of surgeon-directed intraoperative subfascial cocktail analgesics in adolescent scoliosis surgery. Summary Background Data. Several studies have demonstrated idiopathic However, their retrospective analyses provided limited clinical evidence. Are effective improving postoperative pain surgery? Can improve scores help patients ambulate? Methods. Forty-two (mean age 15.8±2.1 years, 31 females)...
Background/Objectives: Adult spinal deformity (ASD) affects sit-to-stand (STS) transitions due to abnormal alignment, influencing muscle function. This study investigated lower-extremity electromyographic activity and kinematic parameters during STS in ASD patients. Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted with patients scheduled for corrective surgery. The task divided into three phases, activity, temporal parameters, joint kinematics were compared between controls. Surface electromyography...
Study Design. Retrospective design. Objective. This study aimed to 1) classify waistline asymmetry by scoliosis type, 2) evaluate postoperative changes, and 3) assess clinical outcomes in patients with adolescent idiopathic (AIS) using digital photography. Summary of Background Data. AIS often affects physical appearance, being particularly affected. Despite its importance, studies on asymmetry, especially variation among individuals related outcomes, are limited. Methods. We retrospectively...
Intraoperative neuromonitoring may be valuable for predicting postoperative neurological complications, and transcranial motor evoked potentials (TcMEPs) are the most reliable monitoring modality with high sensitivity. One of frequent problems TcMEP is rate false-positive alerts, also called "anesthetic fade." The purpose this study was to clarify risk factors alerts find ways reduce rates.
Study Design: Large cohort study of volunteers.Purpose: The purpose this was to investigate the relationship between severity knee osteoarthritis, assessed using Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading scale, and spinopelvic sagittal alignment in older adult volunteers.Overview Literature: plane osteoarthritis coronal is unclear.Methods: Volunteers over 50 years age underwent radiographic analysis. Radiographic parameters including pelvic tilt (PT), incidence (PI), lumbar lordosis (LL), thoracic...
Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) triggers cellular and molecular changes in the spinal cord. However, little is known about how polyunsaturated fatty acid-containing phosphatidylcholines (PUFA-PCs) are regulated cord after PNI association of PUFA-PCs with non-neuronal cells within central nervous system (CNS). In this study, we found that arachidonic phosphatidylcholine (AA-PC), [PC(16:0/20:4)+K](+), was significantly increased ipsilateral ventral dorsal horns sciatic transection, expression...
