One of the first degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine is the subchondral sclerosis from which other degenerative complications can occur. The first symptom of the subchondral sclerosis and herniated disk is the low back pain. The subchondral sclerosis and herniated disk is often associated with ...
At that time she had tingling and numbness on her whole her right side, and a high contrast MRI did show lesions in her brain and spine, and a lumbar puncture compared to blood results confirmed it. However. She has had unexplained pain, particularly in her shoulders and arms, for years...
time from surgery with 49 patients with a well-fixed stable hip replacement. Patients with loose components were more likely to have a history offragility fracture, narrow femoral cortices, and lower BMD at thelumbar spineor periprosthetic area compared to the group with stable fixation. Lowserum...
One wearable for research use is the Mobility Lab system (APMD, Portland, OR, USA) which consists of Opal sensors that are fixed on specific body parts (e.g., wrist, sternum, lower lumbar spine and feet) [79]. Three-dimensional linear acceleration, angular velocity and magnetic field (...
Doctors and other health care professionals diagnose the disease by a patient's history, physical exam, and tests such as MRI, lumbar puncture, and evoked potential testing (speed of nerve impulses); other tests may be done to rule out other diseases that may cause similar symptoms. Treatment...
Spinal tap (lumbar puncture).A small amount of fluid taken from your spine can show abnormal amounts of blood cells or proteins associated with MS. A spinal tap can rule out a viral infection or other possible conditions. Magnetic resonance imaging (M...
Magnetic resonance imaging of the head, and whole spine, and lumbosacral plexus were normal. Lumbar puncture showed 29 × 106 mononuclear cells per litre, which were predominantly mixed T cells with no clonal proliferation of B cells. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose was normal, and protein...
