Previous studies have indicated that trunk muscle strength decreases with chronic low back pain, and is associated poor balance, functional performance, falls in older adults. Strengthening exercises for pain are considered the most effective intervention to improve outcomes. We developed an innovative exercise device abdominal muscles also measures strength. The correlation between weakness, as measured by our device, presence of decreased physical ability a risk falling were evaluated...
This was a retrospective clinical study.This study aimed to evaluate our institution's experience with total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) in patients treated for primary lumbar spine tumors and investigate postoperative outcomes.TES is widely accepted by spinal musculoskeletal surgical oncologists results favorable health-related quality of life outcomes. However, this procedure still imposes major risks complications.The cases TES performed between 1993 2015 were retrospectively analyzed....
Aims To evaluate the perioperative complications associated with total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) in patients spinal tumours, based on extent and level of tumour resection. Methods In total, 307 who underwent TES a single centre were reviewed retrospectively. There 164 male 143 female mean age at time surgery 52.9 years (SD 13.3). A 225 operated for metastases, 34 malignant primary tumour, 41 an aggressive benign seven unknown origin. The main lesion was located thoracic spine 213, lumbar...
Study Design. Retrospective analysis of data collected across multiple centers. Objective. To develop machine learning models for predicting neurological outcomes one month postoperatively in patients with metastatic spinal tumors undergoing surgery, and to identify key factors influencing recovery. Summary Background Data. The increasing prevalence metastases has led a growing need surgical intervention address mechanical instability deficits. Predicting postoperative status, as assessed by...
Study Design. Prospective multicenter study. Objective. To investigate risk factors for 3-month postoperative mortality in metastatic spinal tumor surgery, focusing on nutritional biomarkers and prognostic scores alongside clinical indicators. Summary of Background Data. Metastatic tumors affect patient morbidity mortality. Although tools exist, they have limitations, particularly emergency situations requiring rapid assessment. Nutritional may influence outcomes, but their role predicting...
The majority of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) involving the anterior margin cervical vertebrae is asymptomatic, but it can cause dysphagia. Improvements in swallowing after surgical treatment have been reported several case series. However, appropriate amount osteophyte resection for this disease terms pathophysiology dysphagia still unknown. current report describes procedure secondary to hyperostosis, and discusses etiology dysphagia.This a retrospective review four...
Aims The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and characteristics instrumentation failure (IF) after total en bloc spondylectomy (TES), analyze risk factors for IF. Methods medical records from 136 patients (65 male, 71 female) with a mean age 52.7 years (14 80) who underwent TES were retrospectively reviewed. follow-up period 101 months (36 232). Analyzed included IF, age, sex, BMI, history chemotherapy or radiotherapy, tumour histology (primary metastasis; benign malignant),...
Abstract Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) films were grown on c -plane sapphire substrates by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition with BCl 3 and NH as the nitrogen sources, respectively, influences of growth parameters film quality investigated for samples a thickness about 1 µm. The dependence X-ray diffraction temperature ( T g ) indicated that crystalline is most improved in sample at 1200 °C, which epitaxial relationship {100} h-BN ∥ {110} {001} was confirmed. This condition enhanced...
Study Design. Retrospective cohort study. Objective. To investigate the effects of dynamic stabilization with sublaminar taping (ST) on upper segment adjacent to posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). Summary Background Data. Hybrid procedures such as for in addition spinal have been developed reduction mechanical stress and prevention pathology (ASP). However, a few reports are available hybrid their efficacy is still controversial. Methods. Of 116 patients who underwent L4/5 PLIF...
Abstract Background The epidemiology, risk factors, and prevention of locomotive syndrome (LS) have been reported. However, the number clinical studies about efficacy LS treatment, including surgery, has limited. This study aimed to evaluate its improvement in patients undergoing surgeries for degenerative disease lumbar spine lower extremities, discuss effects surgery on issues assessment these patients. Methods We enrolled 257 aged ≥60 years that underwent diseases extremities agreed...
Abstract Background There have been several reports of instrumentation failure after three-column resections such as total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) for spinal tumors; however, clinical outcomes revision surgery TES are seldom reported. Therefore, this study assessed the TES. Methods This employed a retrospective case series in single center and included 61 patients with tumors who underwent between 2010 2015 were followed up > 2 years. Instrumentation rate, back pain, neurological...
Abstract The efficacy of surgical resection in metastatic renal cell carcinoma is an active and important research field the postcytokine era. Bone metastases, especially spine, compromise patient performance status. Metastasectomy indicated, if feasible, because it helps to achieve best clinical outcomes possible compared with other treatments. This study examined postoperative survival prognostic factors patients who underwent metastasectomy spinal lesions. retrospective included 65...
Recurrent rhabdomyolysis due to decreased glycolysis occurred during strenuous exercise in patients with lactate dehydrogenase-A-subunit (LDH-A; muscle) deficiency. Enzyme activities of LDH the muscle were less than 8% control value. The isozyme pattern revealed only one band B<sub>4</sub>. level LDH-A mRNA was not decreased. direct sequencing reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction product that corresponds exon 6 a deletion 20 nucleotides. Immunofluorescence staining showed presence...
To examine the efficacy and safety of an innovative, device-driven abdominal trunk muscle strengthening program, with ability to measure strength, treat chronic low back pain (LBP) in elderly participants.Seven women non-specific LBP, lasting at least 3 months, were enrolled treated prescribed exercise regimen. Patients participated a 12-week program which included 4 types stretches for lower extremities. Primary outcomes adverse events associated improvement as measured by device, numerical...
