CERVICAL vertebraeCERVICAL cordAlthough the incidence of cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) has increased in older adults, its etiology and neurological outcomes remain unknown. We identified OPLL characteristics and determined whether they ...
The difference in the head posture among subjects with short, normal, and long anterior facial heights might have a significant influence on the morphological characteristics of cervical vertebrae. Thus, the present study was conducted to evaluate the morphometric characteristics of cervical vertebrae in...
In the dorsal position of the head, we measured the diameter and length of the VA in the spaces between the first and second cervical vertebrae (M +/- m = 4.6 +/- 1.2 mm and 16.4 +/- 1.7 mm, respectively) and between the first cervical vertebra and the edge of the occipital ...
of 24 6 months.The fusion rate was 100% and the height of disc space,the lordosis of cervical spine were restored well after operation.The rate of excellent and clinical effect was 73%.Conclusion With the degeneration of the cervical spine and multiple organs in the elderly as well as the...
A cervical coil was used. Modic changes were classified as Modic-1, Modic-2, Modic- 3, and no change. Pfirrmann criteria were used to classify disc degeneration into one of the five grades based on T2WI findings.17 Angular motion was defined as the intervertebral angle difference between two...
RESULTS:X-ray films revealed changes in intervertebral space heights, the number of lateral osteophytes, and bone destruction, which were more severe in the following order: lumbosacral vertebrae (56 cases, 77.8%), cervical spine (6 cases, 8.3%), thoracic spine (5 cases, 6.9%), and multi-...
16 However, it was demonstrated that the incidence of some cancers was increased, such as lung cancer, lymphoma, bladder cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer, rectal cancer, bone cancer, leukemia, testicular tumor, thyroid cancer by the observation about persons exposed to DU in wars of Gulf...
3. In the cervical vertebrae, all patients (2/2) underwent tumor curettage surgery, and neither of the patients recovered. In the thoracic vertebrae, two patients had tumors (2/6) located at the junction of the ribs and vertebrae; these patients underwent tumor curettage surgery and segmental...
In addition to the joints of the extremities, the atlantoaxial ligament of the cervical spine is often affected by synovial inflammation. Thus, the involvement of the cervical spine in RA has been * Correspondence: mohishi@ortho.med.kyushu-u.ac.jp 1Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Faculty of...
