Full textThe system of vertebrae fixation using the pedicular screw is one of the most efficient methods to treat vertebral spine pathologies. When the screw is submitted to pullout strength, it causes internal stress near the medullary canal and this situation can be analyzed using the photoelasticity technique. The objective of this study was to examine the internal stress of a photoelastic vertebrae model using different sizes of screws for the vertebral fixation submitted to pulling out. A lumbar vertebral model made of photoelastic material with three different pedicular screw sizes (5, 6 and 7mm), type USS1 was used. The internal stress around the screw were tested in 18 pre established points by a plain transmission polariscope. The areas of greater concentration of stress were placed between the medullary canal and the transverse process. Comparing the maximum average pulling out stress, statistical differences were observed between screws 5 and 7, and 6 and 7. On the other hand, when screws 5 and 6mm where compared no significant differences were found. This study identified that the internal stress are greater in irregular areas, near the medullary canal, suggesting that this may be a critical region.

Introduction: While there have been numerous studies demonstrating the effect of bisphosphonates in rats as either a preventative treatment or recovering treatment for osteoporosis, few have directly compared the two treatment alternatives with respect to their effects on bone microstructure and strength. This paper, then, investigates the effects of treatment timing using Zoledronate [ZOL], a potent bisphosphonate, on the lumbar and caudal vertebrae in ovariectomized [OVX], female Wistar rats. Methods: Twenty nine rats were divided into four groups according to their treatment: OVX at week 0 (n=5), OVX+earlyZOL (20 jig/kg s.c. week 0, n=8), OVX+late ZOL (20 jlg/kg s.c. week 8, n=7), and SHAM-OVX (n=9). Results: Micro-computed tomography (giCT) evaluation of six parameters characterizing bone morphology [BV/TV, ConnD, SMI, TbTh, TbNr, and TbSp] showed slightly favorable effects with early ZOL treatment in the fourth lumbar [L4] vertebrae. Compared to SHAM-OVX, OVX has a significantly (p<0.05) lower BV/TV, higher SMI, and TbSp. OVX+earlyZOL had a significantly higher BV/TV than OVX and SHAM-OVX and a lower TbSp than OVX.
(cont.) Decreasing trends but no statistically significant differences were reached in the cortical thickness with treatment, nor were there any differences in bone morphology between the groups in the sixth caudal vertebrae [CD6]. A two-way ANOVA revealed an interaction between the vertebral site and treatment group for BV/TV and TbSp. jCT and static compression tests on the L3 and L4 of rats in a secondary study revealed significant correlations in architectural parameters and biomechanical properties between the two vertebrae. L4 had a higher BV/TV, SMI, and minimum area [minA] and a lower TbNr and TbSp than L3, but L4 had lower values for stiffness, energy to failure [energy], and ultimate load. Regression analysis also showed statistically significant correlations between ultimate load [Uload] and total bone volume [BV], energy and BV, Uload and minA, stiffness and minA, and energy and minA. Conclusion: Results showed slightly favorable trends on bone microstructure for early treatment and demonstrated the potential for clinical advantages using preventative therapy. Upon further research in understanding the vertebrae's response to ZOL at different time points after OVX, treatment for osteoporosis may be better directed.

Full textTiivistelmä Selkänikaman osteoporoottiset murtumat ovat maailmanlaajuisesti yleinen ikääntyvän väestön vaiva. Pienen nikamakoon tiedetään lisäävän nikamamurtuman riskiä, mutta nikamakokoon vaikuttavia tekijöitä tunnetaan toistaiseksi varsin vähän. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää keski-iän nikamakokoon vaikuttavia elinaikaisia tekijöitä. Erityisesti tutkitaan vapaa-ajan liikunnallisuuden, lajikohtaisen harrastusaktiivisuuden, työn liikunnallisten piirteiden sekä lapsuuden ja nuoruuden fyysisen kehityksen yhteyttä nikamakokoon. Tutkimusjoukkona käytetään osaotosta Pohjois-Suomen vuoden 1966 syntymäkohortista (n = 1 540). Seuranta-aika on ollut 46 vuotta, ja selkänikaman koko on määritetty tutkittavista 46 vuoden iässä otetuista lannerangan magneettikuvista. Tutkimusaineistossa naisten elinaikainen vapaa-ajan liikunnallisuus sekä aktiivinen luustoa kuormittavien liikuntalajien harrastaminen ovat yhteydessä suureen nikamakokoon keski-iässä. Miesten liikunnallisuuden ja nikamakoon välillä ei sen sijaan havaittu vastaavaa yhteyttä, eivätkä työn liikunnalliset piirteet olleet yhteydessä nikamakokoon kummallakaan sukupuolella. Varhainen painon kasvu ennusti suurta keski-iän nikamakokoa sukupuolesta riippumatta, ja varhaisen pituuskasvun vaikutus nikamakokoon näytti välittyvän aikuispituuden kautta. Tutkimuksen tulosten perusteella siis erityisesti naiset näyttäisivät hyötyvän vapaa-ajan liikunnallisesta aktiivisuudesta ja luuta kuormittavien lajien harrastamisesta aikuisiällä. Sukupuolesta riippumatta myös lapsuuden ja nuoruuden fyysisellä kehityksellä näyttäisi olevan merkitystä keski-iän nikamakokoon. Tulevaisuudessa prospektiivisten tutkimusasetelmien tulisi vahvistaa tässä tutkimuksessa havaittujen yhteyksien kausaliteetti. Lisäksi tutkimusta tarvittaisiin jatkossa muiden nikamakokoon vaikuttavien elinaikaisten tekijöiden selvittämiseksi

Full textEn esta tesis se desarrolló un método para reconstruir tanto la forma 3D de estructuras óseas como la distribución de la DMO a partir de una sola imagen de DXA. El método incorpora un modelo estadístico construido a partir de una gran base de datos de QCT junto con una técnica de registro 3D-2D basada en intensidades. Se ha evaluado la capacidad del método para reconstruir la parte proximal del fémur a partir de una imagen DXA. Los parámetros resultantes de las reconstrucciones fueron evaluados posteriormente por su capacidad en discriminar una fractura de cadera. Por fin, se extendió el método a la reconstrucción de las vértebras lumbares a partir de DXA anteroposterior y lateral incorporando así un enfoque multi-objeto y multi-vista. Estos técnicas pueden potencialmente mejorar la precisión en la estimación del riesgo de fractura respecto a la estimación que ofrece la práctica clínica actual.

Resumo: Modelo de Estudo: Estudo diagnóstico Transversal de caso controle. Objetivos: comparar pacientes com estenose do canal lombar com indicação de cirurgia e um grupo controle, assintomáticos para esta doença, levando em consideração imagens de ressonância magnética (RM) e o questionário de Oswestry. Material e Método: Vinte e três pacientes com estenose do canal lombar foram comparados com um grupo controle de 17 indivíduos. Todos foram submetidos a RM e responderam ao questionário de Oswestry. Medidas qualitativas foram descritas segundo os grupos com uso de frequências absolutas e relativas e, verificada a existência de associação dessas medidas com uso do teste exato de Fisher. Medidas quantitativas foram descritas e comparadas entre os grupos com uso do teste Mann-Whitney. O teste de Spearman foi utilizado para avaliar a correlação entre os grupos. Resultados: Lombalgia foi a queixa mais frequente nos dois grupos. O índice de Oswestry mostrou média de percentual de invalidez de 45,69% no Grupo Estenose e 11,60% no Grupo Controle. A RM mostrou que a área de secção transversa do saco dural, o diâmetro do canal e a avaliação dos forames e recesso lateral estavam alterados em ambos os grupos. Conclusões: Não houve relação entre o grau de estenose do canal lombar mensurado em exame de RM com o índice de Oswestry em ambos os grupos
Abstract: Study design: Transversal Case-control, diagnostic study. Objectives: To verify the relationship between the degree of lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LCS), as seen in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the severity of disability as seen in the Oswestry Index, in patients with LCS compared to controls without a diagnosed LCS. Methods: Twenty-three patients with a previous diagnosis of LCS were compared with a control group of 17 volunteers. All participants underwent MRI and answered the Oswestry questionnaire. Qualitative data were described according to the groups with the use of absolute and relative frequencies, and the association of these measures was checked by using the Fisher exact test. Quantitative measures were described and compared between groups using the Mann-Whitney test. Spearman's test was used as well. Results: Low back pain was the most frequent complaint in both groups. The Oswestry index showed average percentage of disability of 45.69% in patients with stenosis and 11.60% in the control group. MRI revealed that the dural sac cross-sectional area (DCSA), the diameter of the canal and the evaluation of lateral recesses and foramina were equally changed in both groups. Conclusions: There was no correlation between the degree of lumbar canal stenosis measured on MRI with the Oswestry Disability Index in both groups

Resumo: Existe uma grande variabilidade de resultados nos estudos prévios que analisam os parâmetros do alinhamento sagital (PAS) em indivíduos normais e em pacientes com doenças degenerativas da coluna lombar. A maioria desses estudos relacionam os PAS somente com o sintoma de dor lombar crônica, em grupos de pacientes com diferentes doenças degenerativas lombares, o que dificulta a aplicação clínica desses dados tanto na avaliação diagnóstica como na indicação terapêutica. O objetivo deste estudo caso-controle foi analisar as relações dos PAS com os diferentes sintomas entre um grupo de pacientes com diagnóstico de estenose lombar e um grupo controle e as mesmas relações entre os subgrupos de pacientes diferenciados por sintoma. Foram colhidos os dados da história, exame clínico, ressonância magnética e de exames radiográficos de 23 pacientes com estenose lombar (denominado grupo estenose) e de 17 indivíduos saudáveis (denominado grupo controle). Os PAS utilizados foram: cifose torácica (CT), lordose lombar (LL), eixo sagital vertical (C7-T1), listese anteroposterior (OAP), lordose lombo-pélvica total (LLT) e regional (LLR), eixo sagital em T1, T4 eT9 (ES1, ES4 e ES9 respectivamente), inclinação sagital T1-L5 (IST1-L5), "offset sagital" T1 e T9 (OST1 e OST9), "tilt pélvico" (TP), "slope sacral" (SS), morfologia pélvica (MP), ângulo sacro-femoral (ASF), distância sacro-femoral (DSF) e "overhang" (OVHG). Na Fase 1 do estudo, os dados do PAS foram correlacionados entre os indivíduos do grupo controle e grupo estenose e, na Fase 2, entre os subgrupos do grupo estenose diferenciados por sintomas como lombalgia, radiculopatia, claudicação neurogênica e dor, medida pela Escala Analógica de Dor (EAD). Na Fase 1, observou-se que os pacientes do Grupo Estenose (GE) como um todo tiveram menores valores de LLT (p = 0,006) e LLR em L1, L2 e L3 (p = 0,026) e os pacientes do GE com sintoma de radiculopatia, além dos dados acima, tiveram aumento do TP (p = 0,004), quando comparados ao Grupo Controle (GC). Na Fase 2, o Subgrupo Lombalgia obteve maiores valores de CT (p = 0,035) e LLR (p = 0,028) e uma diminuição do TP (p = 0,029), OST1 (p = 0,022), DSF (p = 0,014) e OVHG (p = 0,035) em relação aos outros pacientes do GE que não se queixavam de lombalgia e, no Subgrupo Radiculopatia, houve a diminuição da LLR (p < 0,047). Este estudo demonstra que há correlações significativas dos sintomas e dos PAS entre o GE e o GC e também entre os Subgrupos do GE diferenciados por sintomas. Estes dados indicam uma melhor interpretação clínica dos PAS, assim como podem sugerir a terapêutica mais adequada
Abstract: There is a great variation in the results of previous studies analyzing sagital alignment parameters (SAP) in normal individuals and in patients with degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine. Most studies associate SAP only with chronic lumbar pain, in groups of patients with different lumbar degenerative diseases, which makes it difficult to apply these data clinically both in diagnostic evaluation and in therapeutics. The objective of this prospective, diagnostic case-control study was to examine the relationship between sagittal balance parameters and different symptoms of spine disease in patients with lumbar canal stenosis (LCS) and controls and the same associations between subgroups of patients with different symptoms. We collected clinical history, clinical exam data from 23 patients with spinal stenosis and 17 healthy volunteers (controls). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and x-rays allowed the measurement of sagittal axis parameters. The SAP analyzed were thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, sagittal axis, anterior-posterior listesis, total and regional lumbar-pelvic lordosis, sagittal axis in T1, T4 and T9, pelvic tilt, sacral slope, pelvic morphology, sacro-femoral angle, sacro-femoral distance and overhang. In the first phase of the study, SAP data were correlated between controls and patients, and in the second phase, the subgroups inside the group of patients with stenosis were compared for symptoms as lumbar pain, radiculopathy, neurogenic claudication and pain, measure by the visual analogue scale (VAS). In the first phase, it was observed that the stenosis patients presented lower values of total lumbopelvic lordosis (p = 0.006) and regional lordosis L1, L2 and L3 (p < 0.026). Those with stenosis and radiculopathy also had higher values of pelvic tilt (p = 0.004) and lower values for total lumbopelvic lordosis and regional lordosis in L1 and L2 (p < 0.05) than controls. All patients complaining of back pain had higher values of thoracic kyphosis (p = 0.035), regional lumbopelvic lordosis in L1 (p = 0.028), lower values for pelvic tilt (p = 0.029), sagittal T1 offset (p = 0.022), sacro-femoral distance (p = 0.014) and overhang (p = 0.035) compared to patients without the complaint. Patients with stenosis and radiculopathy were less prone to have regional lordosis in L2, L3 and L4 (p = 0.047, p = 0.047 and p = 0.023 respectively). In conclusion, this study shows that there are significant correlations between symptoms and sagittal axis parameters between patients with and without spinal canal stenosis and also in subgroups of the patients with stenosis with different complaints.These data indicate a better clinical interpretation of SAP, as well as suggest a better therapeutic approach

Full textO estudo dos nervos constituintes do plexo lombossacral é de extrema importância, pois relaciona os diversos aspectos evolutivos de postura e locomoção dos animais. Considerando-se que o nervo femoral é o maior da parte cranial do plexo lombossacral, objetivou-se descrever as origens, distribuições e ramificações dos nervos femorais no Tamanduá bandeira (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), comparando com a literatura descrita para animais domésticos e silvestres, de modo a estabelecer correlações de similaridades morfológicas e fornecer subsídios para as áreas afins. Foram utilizadas três espécimes, preparadas através da injeção de solução aquosa de formaldeído a 10% via artéria femoral, para a conservação e posterior dissecação das mesmas. As origens nos antímeros direito e esquerdo, ocorreram dos ramos ventrais dos nervos espinhais lombares um, dois e três. As distribuições e ramificações foram observadas para os músculos psoas maior e menor, ilíacos lateral e medial, pectíneo, adutor magno, sartório e quadríceps femoral. Com base nas origens dos nervos femorais do M. tridactyla, uma reconfiguração foi observada devido à variação no número de vértebras lombares (L1, L2 e L3). Entretanto, uma similaridade morfológica parcial foi mantida quanto às distribuições e ramificações, quando comparadas aos animais domésticos e silvestres considerados neste estudo.

Full textIntroduction: The syndrome of lumbar radiculopathy involves dysfunction of nerve roots of the lumbar spine, caused by compression, resulting due to herniation (protrusion, prolapse) intervertebral disc, or due to inflammatory and degenerative changes (usually osteophytes) in foraminal opening. Quality of life is the modern concept of observing the outcome of disease and therapeutic procedures in performance in all areas of medicine, as well as the problems of lumbar radiculopathy.Aim: Assess the quality of life for surgically and conservatively treated patients with lumbar radiculopathy at initiation of treatment and 3 months, and 6 months after conducting medical rehabilitation.Methods: The study is a prospective clinical study, which analyzed the quality of life of patients with lumbar radiculopathy. Also included is randomized and stratified sample of patients with lumbar radiculopathy of discal genesis aged 20 to 65 years, of both sexes (n=100) treated at the Special Hospital for progressive muscular and neuromuscular diseases Novi Pazar. One group of patients (n=50) were treated exclusively non-surgical methods, while the second group of patients (n=50) treated with surgical and non-surgical methods. In all patients was conducted by applying the conservative treatment of physical procedures, kinesitherapy procedures, ergonomic education. Medication treatment is at all were identical. To assess the condition of patients, quality of life and the effect of rehabilitation treatment used two standardized questionnaires: a general health questionnaire Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 (SF 36) and disease-specific questionnaire The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).Results: Values SF-36 questionnaire presented summary physical (SFS) and mental (SMS) scores, with non-surgical treated subjects (FSFS=450.221, p<0.001; FSMS=106.543, p<0.001), but also at surgical treated (FSFS=490.721, p<0.001; FSMS=72.055, p<0.001) were significantly changed during the study. Values at SFS non-surgical treated patients (beginning of treatment, 3 months, 6 months): 35.5 / 44.7 / 50.8; at surgical treated: 28.8 / 42.8 / 49.2. Values SMS with the non-surgical treated patients: 40.6 / 44.8 / 52.6; with surgical treated: 37.8 / 45.2 / 52.5. The biggest improvement of SFS, in both groups of patients were registered in the first three months of the start of the rehabilitation treatment, while the biggest progress SMS is registered in the first three months of the start of treatment in other patient groups. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) values score, in patients of the first group (F=432.810, p<0.001), and in second group of patients (F=1341.180, p<0.001) were significantly changed during the study. ODI values at non-surgical treated patients were: 51.5% / 36% / 22.5%; the second group of patients: 56.1% / 38.9% / 23.7%. The bigest improvement was registered in the first three months of the start of treatment in second group patients. There are statistically significant correlations main summary scores and SF-36 domains (SFS and SMS) and ODI scores.Conclusion: The quality of life and functional status of both groups patients was significantly better in comparison to the situation, at 3 months and 6 months compared to the beginning of rehabilitation, as well as at 6 months compared to 3 months.
