Steffens et al (2014) systematically reviewed whether MRI findings of the lumbar spine predict future LBP in different samples with and without LBP. MEDLINE, CINAHL and EMBASE databases were searched. Included were prospective cohort studies investigating the relationship between baseline MRI abnormalities...
Neck pain and lower back pain are commonly reported by military pilots. That is why the answers to the following questions are important: (1) which part of the back (neck or lumbar spine) is more likely to be painful in military pilots as a result of hig
Previous research revealed that LBP-patients undergoing spine surgery, such as lumbar spine decompression surgery (LSDS), have an even worse prognosis in terms of work disability compared to LBP-patients without such surgery [5]. Approximately 2% of Swedish residents undergo lumbar spine surgery ...
That type of sensor was applied by Arun et al., using the Nano-30 miniature AE sensor (Mistras, Princeton, NJ, USA), attached to the lumbar vertebrae to detect the fracture signal during impact loading on the lumbar spine in the caudal direction [49]. Two studies used AE-sensors in ...
The striatum contains several types of neurons including medium spiny projection neurons (MSNs), cholinergic interneurons (ChIs), and fast-spiking interneurons (FSIs). Modulating the activity of these neurons by the dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) can greatly
