Changes in paraspinal muscles and their association with low back pain and spinal degeneration: CT study
This study was an ancillary project to the Framingham Study. A sample of 3,529 participants aged 40–80 years had a CT scan performed to assess aortic calcification. 187 individuals were randomly enrolled in this study. LBP in the last 12 months was evaluated using self-report questionnaire. Density (in Hounsfield units) of multifidus and erector spinae was evaluated on CT. The prevalence of intervertebral disc narrowing, facet joint osteoarthritis (FJOA), spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis were also evaluated. We used linear regression models to examine the association of paraspinal muscles density with age, sex, BMI, LBP, and spinal degeneration features. The results show that in our study, men have higher density of paraspinal muscles than women, young…

The relevance of childhood developmental factors to the efficacy of acupuncture on the affective component of back pain.
December 1, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
The relevance of childhood developmental factors to the efficacy of acupuncture on the affective component of back pain.
Authors: Straiton N There is substantial evidence to support the use of acupuncture in the treatment of low back pain. The main predictors of chronic low back pain are non-medical and psychosocial. The understanding of how acupuncture can modulate the pain experience has recently been enhanced by the elucidation of the role of C fibre afferents on the limbic system. C fibre deactivation of the limbic system can only occur in the presence of intact corticosubcortical neuronal pathways. The normal development of these pathways is determined by social factors in the early years of life. The effect of acupuncture treatment for low back pain may be determined by successful relationships between the mother and child in the first 18 months of life.

A case of primary leptomeningeal gliomatosis confined to the spinal cord

A case of primary leptomeningeal gliomatosis confined to the spinal cord
We report a case of primary leptomeningeal gliomatosis limited to the spinal cord occurring in a 52 years-old patient, who presented with back pain and leg weakness. MRI-scan of the craniospinal axis revealed an enhancing cervicothoracic lesion confined to the leptomeninges. A diagnostic biopsy was taken followed by a six level cervicothoracic laminoplasty with the aim of debulking of the dorsal portion of the tumour and relieving cord compression. Two weeks following surgery, the patient developed bilateral arm weakness. Repeat imaging revealed extension of the lesion to the level of the lower medulla. This patient underwent spinal radiotherapy and concomitant chemotherapy with Temozolomide, but she died of pneumonia 8.5 months after the time of diagnosis. No post-mortem w…
