Intervertebral disc cell fate during aging and degeneration: apoptosis, senescence, and autophagy

Takashi Yurube, Yoshiki Takeoka, Yutaro Kanda et al. · 10 Mar 2023

Background: Degenerative disc disease, a major cause of low back pain and associated neurological symptoms, is a global health problem with the high morbidity, workforce loss, and socioeconomic burden.

Single-level posterior lumbar fusions in patients with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome not found to be associated with increased postoperative adverse events or five-year reoperations

Michael J. Gouzoulis, Alexander J. Kammien, Justin Zhu et al. · 22 Jun 2022

Background: Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a rare connective tissue disorder that results from mutations in collagen genes. Potentially related to laxity and resultant degenerative changes, adult EDS patients may require posterior lumbar fusion (PLF).

Spinal TB, which most often affects the lower thoracic and thoracolumbar area, accounts for…

Prospective, randomized, multicenter study of intraosseous basivertebral nerve ablation for the treatment of chronic low back pain: 24-Month treatment arm results

Theodore D. Koreckij, D. Scott Kreiner, Jad G. Khalil et al. · 26 Oct 2021

BackgroundVertebral endplates, innervated by the basivertebral nerve, can be a source of vertebrogenic low back pain when damaged with inflammation, visible as types 1 or 2 Modic changes. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared basivertebral nerve ablation (BVNA) to standard care (SC) showed significant differences between arms at 3 and 6-months. At 12-months, significant improvements…

Emergency department visits within 90 days of single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion

Alexander J. Kammien, Anoop R. Galivanche, Michael J. Gouzoulis et al. · 11 May 2022

Background: Postoperative readmissions are a commonly used metric for quality-of-care initiatives, but emergency department (ED) visits have received far less attention despite their substantial impact on patient satisfaction and healthcare spending. The current study described the incidence and timing of ED visits following single-level ACDF, determined predictive factors and reasons for ED utilization, and compared…
