Objective: Our objective in this study was to determine the cystometric findings in patients with lumbar intervertebral disk protrusion (LDP). Methods: 80 patients with lumbar disk protrusion were ...

Abstract: There have been numerous researchers that have investigated the properties of human intervertebral discs. However, there has been no attempt to characterize the effects of dynamic loading on ...

The pattern of damage of the inferior surfaces lends some support to the hypothesis that their apices impact the laminae of the lumbar vertebra inferior to them, consequent upon the degeneration and ...

Disc herniation, defined by the protrusion or extrusion of an intervertebral disc outside the discal space ... presented with right lumbar radiculopathy with no neurological deficit. A prior ...

The cases of 113 patients who had protrusion of a lumbar intervertebral disc were analyzed to determine the relationship between the findings at operation and the location of the pain that ...

Patients presenting with acute low back pain alone are therefore unlikely to have a disc prolapse. Lumbar intervertebral disc prolapse is most prevalent between the ages of 30–50 years, and the L5/S1 ...

Knowledge of lumbar intervertebral disc (IVD) biomechanics is central to understanding the genesis of low back and leg pain caused by disc dysfunction or herniation. Many non-surgical treatments for ...

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.

This approach involved small-dose collagenase injection at an extradiscal target point of the lumbar intervertebral disc, combined with intradiscal ... in the epidural space and nucleus pulposus ...

Conclusions: Deep learning technology based on the PP-YOLOv2 algorithm can be used to identify normal intervertebral discs, lumbar disc herniation, and lumbar spondylolisthesis from lumbar MRI images.
