BACKGROUND: Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide with a significant socioeconomic burden; artificial intelligence (AI) has proved to have a great potential in supporting clinical decisions at each stage of the healthcare process...
The degeneration of the intervertebral discs in the lumbar spine is the common cause of neurological and physical dysfunctions and chronic disability of patients, which can be stratified into single-(e.g., disc herniation, prolapse, or bulge) and com...
Apoptosis : an international journal on programmed cell death
Dec 4, 2024
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is intricately associated with various forms of programmed cell death (PCD). Identifying key PCD types and associated genes is essential for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying IVDD and discoverin...
BACKGROUND: Low back pain resulting from intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) represents a significant global social problem. There are notable differences in the distribution of lymphatic vessels (LV) in normal and pathological intervertebral dis...
BACKGROUND: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is widely regarded as the primary contributor to low back pain(LBP). As an immune-privileged organ, upon the onset of IDD, various components of the nucleus pulposus (NP) are exposed to the host's im...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning (ML) model to predict high-grade heterotopic ossification (HO) following Anterior cervical disc replacement (ACDR).
Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
Jul 15, 2024
BACKGROUND: According to the T1ρ value of nucleus pulposus, our previous study has found that intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) can be divided into three phases based on T1ρ-MR, which is helpful for the selection of biomaterial treatment timing....
BACKGROUND: Intervertebral Disc Degeneration (IDD) is a major cause of lower back pain and a significant global health issue. However, the specific mechanisms of IDD remain unclear. This study aims to identify key genes and pathways associated with I...
