Trabecular bone strains may be influenced by the underlying intervertebral disc (IVD). Understanding how disc degeneration alters load distribution to the vertebra may demonstrate that supplementing ...

A new study highlights a groundbreaking development for chronic low back pain caused by degenerative disc disease (DDD).

Sitting for extended periods can lead to serious spinal issues, including degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, and ...

Two well-calibrated readers (FdB, MOT) assessed all MRIs and radiographs for degenerative lesions. Adjudication was performed (MR for MRI and AF for radiographs) on a per-lesion basis, except for the ...

[4] The disc is removed anteriorly ... It has the theoretic advantage of a reduced risk of adjacent segment degeneration. Thus, the question is how the outcomes of AIDA compare with those of ...

Objectives: To observe the prevalence of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration in elite athletes as compared with published literature of changes seen in non-athletes—that is, normal population.

Ms Ng was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease after a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The condition occurs when the soft discs between the bones in the spine wear out over time.

Many aspects of the physiology of the intervertebral disc (IVD) show clear diurnal rhythms. However, it is unknown whether IVD tissue contains functional circadian clocks and if so, how their ...

Arthritis & Rheumatism. 2006;54(12):3859-3867. Degenerative disc disease is one of today's most common and costly medical conditions. Marked by the gradual erosion of cartilage between the ...

Of the ex-military parachutists x-rayed, 84·7% had lumbar disc degeneration of all grades of severity, 17·4% had moderate changes, and 10·8% had severe changes. The frequency of moderate and severe ...
