Single-Level Biomechanical Models of the Spine Fail to Satisfy Equilibrium at Other LevelsResults confirmed the hypothesis that SLFBD models yield results that grossly violate the equilibrium at levels other than the one initially considered and that the extent of such violations as well as the ...
The object of this study was to evaluate the effect of hybrid dynamic stabilization on adjacent levels of the lumbar spine. Seven human spine specimens from T-12 to the sacrum were used. The following conditions were implemented: 1) intact spine; 2) fusion of L4-5 with bilateral pedicle scr...
November 11, 2011 (Chicago, Illinois) — Spine-related disability is higher in patients with low levels of vitamin D. A new study found that 65% of patients undergoing spinal fusion had vitamin D inadequacy (<32 ng/mL), which can delay recovery. Low levels of vitamin D predispose to ...

Originally, when theitem drop systemwas first implemented in theSniper vs. Spy Update, item levels were added by the developers to test if level functionality could be included. Dropped items were given a random level between 0 and 100, and the level would appear under the name of the item...
The integration of robotics in surgery has increased over the past decade, and advances in the autonomous capabilities of surgical robots have paralleled that of assistive and industrial robots. However, classification and regulatory frameworks have not
You should be looking straight forwards, with your shoulders back, your spine straight and your feet just wider than shoulder-width apart. Descend into a squat, flexing the hips and knees to lower your body. Maintain the angle of your torso, paying close attention to the spine. As yo...
