Nine horses with clinical and radiographic findings of cervical vertebral malformation that were necropsied and examined using frozen cervical spinal cord cross sections were reviewed. Only cases with actual distortion of the spinal cord due to compression were selected. The goal of the study was to determine the morphologic features responsible for narrowing of the spinal canal and compression...

Osteoarthritis is the most frequent form of arthritis, and hip second frequently affected joint. The effects osteoarthritis on joint often lead to marked physical impairment that can contribute increased disability dependency in everyday activities. Hip a degenerative process with progressive loss articular cartilage, followed by reparative such as reactive bone hypertrophy, which causes osteop...

We report a rare case of cervical radiculopathy associated with facet hypertrophy and disc herniation. The patient was a 38-year-old woman with sudden-onset left arm pain. As conservative therapy failed to alleviate her symptoms she was referred to us. On physical examination she manifested no neurological deficits except pain and dysesthesia in the left C7 territory. Computed tomography reveal...

STUDY DESIGN Comparative assessment of randomized controlled trials of caudal and lumbar interlaminar epidural injections in chronic lumbar discogenic pain. OBJECTIVE To assess the comparative efficacy of caudal and lumbar interlaminar approaches of epidural injections in managing axial or discogenic low back pain. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Epidural injections are commonly performed utiliz...

fracture mapping of late permian-early triassic flat-lying sedimentary rocks in the sydney basin,new south wales, australia, shows that joints developed originally in extension were faulted in subsequentevents. joints with a regional distribution fall into two (early and late) formed groups. group i joints propagatedhorizontally and never interfered with each other. these joints were subsequent...

we aimed to investigate the correlation of tonsillectomy with palatine tonsil size and to compare the differences of tonsil size and the need for surgery in children and adults. also we can predict the outcome of tonsillectomy. we measured tonsil sizes in (height and width) in 150 children and 35 adults with hypertrophy of palatine tonsils and we measured the mass of tonsils and then the data a...

The role of Pygo1 in mammalian cardiac disease remains unelucidated. In this study, we found that is associated with human pathological hypertrophy. Cardiac-specific overexpression mice spontaneously led to hypertrophy, accompanied by declined function, increased heart weight/body weight and weight/tibial length ratios, cell size. Meanwhile, function was improved when expression interfered hype...

OBJECTIVES To identify a new disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug (DMOAD) candidate that can effectively repair cartilage by promoting chondrogenic differentiation and halt osteoarthritis (OA) progression by suppressing aberrant hypertrophy. METHODS We screened 2500 natural and synthetic small compounds for chondrogenic agents via four steps using the Col2GFP-ATDC5 system and identified a sm...
