Diagnosis Method

The use of the roentgen and computer tomography in the diagnosis of osteochondrosis of the vertebral column lumbar part is studied. This diagnosis method makes it possible to reveal protrusions, prolapses of intervertebral disks in 100% of the cases. The radiation diagnosis algorythm and indications to performance of the open or laser paracentetic diskectomy are developed. The suggested radiation diagnosis algoiythm using the roentgen computer tomography makes it possible to visualize all structures of vertebro-motor segments promoting the choice of the most rational treatment method of discogenic lumbosacral radiculitis.

Pax Genes

As a potential method to define genes that control vertebrate segmentation processes during embryogenesis, murine genes containing a protein domain homologous to the Drosophila paired box sequence were isolated. The mouse genome contains at least three genes with highly conserved paired box like sequences, termed Pax genes, that are also conserved in other vertebrates. During embryogenesis, the Pax1 gene is expressed in ventral sclerotome cells and in the intervertebral disks of the vertebral column. Thus, Pax1 clearly shows a segmented pattern of expression. A second gene, Pax2, also is expressed in segmented structures of the intermediate mesoderm and in certain regions of ectoderm derived tissues. The Pax1 and Pax2 genes map to chromosomes 2 and 7, respectively. Interestingly, several known mutations that affect vertebral column development map near the Pax1 locus.

The importance of such current diagnosis methods as ultrasound examinations, computer tomography NMR-tomography for revealing the volumetric tumors of uterine appendages is noted. The most informative diagnosis method is laparoscopy used at present and as an operative treatment variant. The peculiarities of laparoscopic operations call for exacting indications.

Spinal Epidural

Spine infections can have significant morbidity and mortality if not identified and treated appropriately. This category of orthopaedic infections can include infections involving the epidural space (spinal epidural abscesses), vertebral column (vertebral osteomyelitis), or the intervertebral disks (diskitis). These conditions can predispose patients to significant consequences including neurologic compromise, deformity, and pain. Accurate diagnosis of spine infections is based on clinical history and examination, along with appropriate imaging and laboratory tests. Treatment of these infections entails medical management with antibiotic therapy, or, in cases with progressive neurologic deficit or deformity, surgical methods that include open decompression with correction of deformity as indicated.

1. The lumbo-vertebral index gives no information as to the character and degree of the lumbar curve of the vertebral column. If it did so, we might assume that in the native Australian the lumbar region of the spine was curved so as to present a concavity to the front. 2. To estimate the extent and the degree of the different curves of the column it is necessary to examine fresh spines in which both the vertebral bodies and intervertebral disks may be studied in conjunction with each other.

Many steel parts are electro-plated with chromium to protect them against corrosion and to improve their wear-resistance. Good adhesion of the chrome plate to the steel surface, which is essential for long term durability of the part, is extremely dependent on surface preparation prior to plating. Recently, McDonnell Douglas developed a new pre-treatment method for chrome plating in which the steel is anodically etched in a sulfuric acid and hydrofluoric acid solution. On carbon steel surfaces, this anodic pre-treatment produces a dark, loosely adhering material that is commonly called the “smut” layer. On stainless steels and nickel alloys, the surface is only darkened by the anodic pre-treatment and little residue is produced. Anodic pre-treatment prior to hard chrome plating results in much better adherence to both carbon and alloy steels.We have characterized the anodic pre-treated steel surface and the resulting “smut” layer using various techniques including electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) on bulk samples and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) on stripped films.

Long Term Follow Up

Studies have investigated the applications of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy in the treatment of hypernasality due to velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD; Cahill et al., 2004; Kuehn, 1991; Kuehn, Moon, & Folkins, 1993; Kuehn et al., 2002). The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of CPAP therapy to reduce hypernasality in a female subject, post-traumatic brain injury (TBI) and pharyngeal flap, who presented with signs of VPD including persistent hypernasality. Improvements in mean velopharyngeal orifice size, subjective perception of hypernasality, and overall intelligibility were observed from the baseline to 8-week post-treatment assessment intervals. Additional long-term assessments completed at 2, 3, and 4 months post-treatment indicated decreases in immediate post-treatment improvements. Results from the present study suggest that CPAP is a safe, non-invasive, and relatively conservative treatment method for reduction of hypernasality in selected patients with TBI. More stringent long-term follow up may indicate the need for repeated CPAP treatment to maintain results.
