An important aspect of an automated highway system design is the synthesis of an automatic vehicle following system. Associated with automatic vehicle following systems is the problem of the stability of a string of vehicles, i.e., the problem of spacing error propagation, and in some cases, amplification upstream from one vehicle to another, due to some disturbance at the head of the string. R...

A model-free theoretical framework for a phenomenological description of spin-lattice relaxation by anomalous translational diffusion in inhomogeneous systems based on the fractional diffusion equation is developed. The dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation time on the size of the pores in porous glass Vycor is experimentally obtained and found to agree well with our theoretical predictions...

We report 2 cases of acute, progressive myelopathy after a fall in elderly patients who had a retroodontoid pseudotumour and extensive ossification of the anterior longitudinal ligament.

Dr. Twomey showed us, through meticulous dissections that the conventional model of a disc bulging out against a nerve root is not only very unlikely, but that mechanical compression of a nerve only produces paresthesia and numbness. Discs do bulge, but is usually contained within/around the posterior longitudinal ligament. Furthermore a mechanical model that teaches a disc pushes against a ner...

Study Design Retrospective study. Objective Minor trauma, even from a simple fall, can often cause cervical myelopathy, necessitating surgery in elderly patients who may be unaware of their posterior longitudinal ligament ossification (OPLL). The aim of this study is to determine the influence of trauma on the neurologic course in patients who have undergone surgery for cervical OPLL. Methods P...

PURPOSE To investigate the MR appearance of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the cervical spine. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of MR images and conventional tomograms in 147 patients. RESULTS In the sagittal plane, proton-density images identified the ossified lesions more clearly than did T1- and T2-weighted images. All axial sequences identified...

OBJECT Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) can result in significant myelopathy. Surgical treatment for OPLL has been extensively documented in the literature, but less data exist on conservative management of this condition. METHODS The authors conducted a systematic review to identify all reported cases of OPLL that were conservatively managed without surgery. RESUL...
