as there were changes to the codes for lower back pain and a new code for cervicogenic headaches. Considering 85 million Americans experience lower back pain daily, this coding change affected chiropractic because the most commonly billed codes for chiropractic are likely codes for the lumbar spine....

On the basis of the present results, plasma biomarkers, particularly plasma p-tau217, may be suitable to rule in amyloid-β pathology in individuals with probable AD dementia or in older adults with MCI, which stands to circumvent a large number of PET scans or lumbar punctures. In contrast...
6,19 There is therefore an unmet need for a sensitive diagnostic tool for LM that can allow for accurate diagnosis without repeated lumbar punctures. Novel methods to quantify and characterize circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood have been evaluated in CSF samples as potential diagnostic ...
Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the lumbar spine and both proximal femurs. Average urinary DPD levels, a biochemical marker of bone resorption, were elevated in the examined patient cohort (7.1 ± 1.9 nmol/mmol, reference 3.0 to 7.0 nmol...
None of the patients were identified as having multiple lumbar punctures. Similarly, about 2% of patients had an EEG performed, possibly indicative of the neurologist investigating comorbid secondary seizures. The data from clinical practice used to profile the treatment patterns using these specified ...
A spinal tap, also called a lumbar puncture, is used to collect a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) — the liquid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord — to be examined for abnormal cells and proteins.This approach can be helpful for excluding certain conditions that may cause ALS-...

They were mostly undetectable in the blood, requiring an invasive, painful procedure of lumbar puncture. Moreover, it enabled biomarker detection in blood, aiding in the early diagnosis of NDDs. Such emerging techniques for novel biomarker discovery include Tandem ubiquitin-binding entities (TUBEs), ...
