To Flex or Not to Flex? Is There a Relationship Between Lumbar Spine Flexion During Lifting and Low Back Pain? A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis There was low-quality evidence that greater lumbar spine flexion during lifting was not a risk…
Intraoperative Ischemic Stroke in Elective Spine Surgery: A Retrospective Study of Incidence and Risk With the increase of spinal procedures, it is important to identify patients at risk for having an ischemic stroke and to optimize their comorbidities preoperatively. Patients…
Neuropathic Pain Causes Memory Deficits and Dendrite Tree Morphology Changes in Mouse Hippocampus Thus, we found that pain information entering the hippocampus causes neuroplastic changes. The abnormalities in neurite arborization, dendritic length and dendritic spines morphology are observed within the…
Passive Strategies for the Prevention of Muscle Wasting During Recovery from Sports Injuries“The concomitant application of BFR and low-intensity exercise has shown promising results in the prevention of disuse-induced muscle atrophy. Some benefits might also be obtained with BFR alone…
Burden of Sciatica on US Medicare Recipients” The baseline cohort data of 1,000,952 patients yielded 250,869 patients (25%) who reported the diagnosis of sciatica, compared with 750,083 patients (75%) without sciatica. Patients with a history of sciatica tended to be…
Visceral fat delivers signal to the brain that hurts cognition Excessive weight around our middle gives our brain’s resident immune cells heavy exposure to a signal that turns them against us, setting in motion a crescendo of inflammation that damages…
Clinical efficacy of platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials.
