context low back pain (lbp) is among the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions in the developed countries. it is a common problem causing disability and imposing a huge economic burden to individuals and state organizations. imaging plays an important role in diagnosis of the etiology of lbp. evidence acquisition the electronic databases included: pubmed (1950 to present), ovid sp medline (...

Background: Low Back Pain (LBP) is a common health problem among health care workers; leads to disability, absence and loss of resources on treatment, investigation and rehabilitation. Aim: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of and risk factors for Low Back Pain among nurses in four tertiary hospitals at KFMC, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Subjects and Methods: A cross sectional study in which a...

Background: Balance disorder is one of the most-studied fields in low-back pain patients (LBP). However, there isinsufficient information regarding the effect of LBP subgrouping on postural control. The purpose of the present studywas to compare postural control between subgroups of chronic nonspecific LBP and healthy subjects during lifting.Methods: A total of 35 men with chronic LBP (19 activ...

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding protein (LBP) has been reported to be an acute-phase protein. LBP binds to LPS with a high affinity; LPS-LBP complexes then interact with the receptor CD14, resulting in increased expression of LPS-inducible genes. Hepatocytes represent a major source of LBP, but little is known about the regulation of rodent hepatocyte LBP synthesis. In these studies, undertake...

OBJECTIVE To study potential associations between body height and subsequent occurrence of chronic low back pain (LBP). DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING The North-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT). Data were obtained from a whole Norwegian county in the HUNT2 (1995-1997) and HUNT3 (2006-2008) surveys. PARTICIPANTS Altogether, 3883 women and 2662 men with LBP, and 10,059 women and 8725...

Background: Static and dynamic postures of lumbopelvic in low back pain (LBP) are considered as two importantaspects of clinical assessment and management of LBP. Thus, the focus of the current study was to compare theposture and compensatory strategy of hip and lumbar region during trunk flexion between LBP subgroupsand healthsubjects. LBP cases are subdivided into active extension pattern (AE...

It has been estimated that over 80% of the population will report low back pain (LBP) at some point in life, and each year 7% of the adult population consult their GP with symptoms. Prevalence increases with age, reaching a peak during the sixth decade of life. Until recently little was known about LBP at young ages. Clinically it was perceived to be uncommon-with few children consulting becaus...

The lipid-binding protein (LBP) family is conserved from Caenorhabditis elegans to mammals and essential for fatty acid homeostasis. RNAi-mediated knockdown of nine C. elegans lbp family members revealed that lbp-5 regulates fat accumulation. C. elegans LBP-5 bound directly to various fatty acids with varying affinities. lbp-5 expression in nhr-49(nr2041) worms was much lower than in N2 worms. ...

BACKGROUND Most people experience low back pain (LBP) at least once in their lifetime. Only a minority of them go on to develop persistent LBP. However, the socioeconomic costs of persistent LBP significantly exceed the costs of the initial acute LBP episode. AIMS To identify factors that influence the progression of acute LBP to the persistent state at an early stage. METHODS Prospective i...
