More imaging studies are needed to understand better axPsA. On the basis of the current literature, to diagnose axPsA in patients with PsA with—or without—chronic back pain (≥ 3 months) in any spine location (cervical, thoracic spine or lumbar), conventional radiographies of the ...
Higher risk with increasing muscle stiffness was also found for effective plastic strain evaluation, while first principal strain results rather show an arbitrary influence of muscle stiffness on the injury risk of cortical and spongy bones. Further studies are necessary to investi- gate the exact ...
RESULTS: On routine lumbar spine MRI, the detection rate of renal cysts was 46.5% (73/157) for>5-mm renal cysts and 68.0% (34/50) for>10-mm renal cysts, correlating with abdominal CT. The detection rate of the largest renal cyst seen by abdominal CT was 60.0% (27/45). Non-...

Lumbar puncture: Inflammation or infection in and around the brain can cause neurological symptoms and headaches. A lumbar puncture, also referred to as a spinal tap, is a diagnostic test in which your healthcare provider places a needle in your back—below the region of your spine—to collect...
This prolonged exposure to hyperinsulinemia ultimately results in IR. Acupuncture has the potential to modulate liver IR, inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and subsequently lipid metabolism (Table 2). Table 2. The main characteristics of acupuncture for regulating liver fat metabolism in obese ...
