Adult spinal disorders are a significant cause of morbidity across the world and carry significant health and economic burdens.

متن کاملAn individualized approach to tracking and treating Alzheimer's disease.
There can be substantial variation in the expression of Alzheimer's disease. Patients vary in who is affected (e.g., education, age at onset), in how they are affected (e.g., neuropathological profile, comorbidities), and in when they present (i.e., stage of illness). Even people with similar starting profiles can have dramatically different courses. For these reasons, tracking disease progress...

Over-diagnosis would not matter if treatment had no morbidity; it would be acceptable to treat all cases, including those destined never to cause symptoms, if treatment was problem-free. However, while radical treatment for prostate cancer may or may not improve ...
