Barricaid Spinal Implant Device

Horizon Scan reports provide brief summaries of information regarding new and emerging health technologies. These technologies are identified through the CADTH Horizon Scanning Service as topics of potential interest to health care decision-makers in Canada. This Horizon Scan summarizes the available information regarding an emerging technology, Barricaid — a spinal implant device for those at risk of recurrent spinal disc herniation.

RESULTS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY REHABILITATION IN PATIENTS WITH DISEASE AS LUMBER SPINAL DISC HERNIATION

The researchon 60 patients with lumber spinal disc herniation treated with physical therapy- rehabilitation methods at the hospital 198. The result as follows: Very good 30%, good 60%, average 10%. This is simple, non- pharmacological, conservative medical treatment that is effective for mild and moderate lumbar spinal disc herniation.

Novel Morphological Alteration and Neural Pathway of NADPH Diaphorase Positivity in the Spinal Cord with Disc Herniation of Aged Dog: A Case Report

Neuronal lesion or injury is a traditional approach to investigate neural circuit. Is any new neural pathway or new neurodegeneration related central nerve system injury? Spinal disc herniation can cause the spinal cord injury. However, the histological examination is still lack. It happened that a case of spinal disc herniation of a 10-year old dog was examined with NADPH diaphorase (N-d) histology. We did not find the N-d neurodegenerative aberrant in the tissue of the mid-rostral lumber segment besides the metamorphoses by the compression of the disc herniation. However, the severe neuropathological changes majorly occurred in the lumbosacral spinal cord. We found more diverse neurodegenerative alterations: the aging-related N-d body (ANB), megaloneurite and N-d homogeneous formazan globule in the lumbosacral spinal cord. We also found that a new circuit pathway (intermedial collateral pathway) showed by a megaloneurite between the lateral collateral pathway and the medial collateral pathway. The enormous notch caused by spinal disc herniation located at the mid-rostral lumber segments. The aging-related neurodegeneration occurred the specific lumbosacral segments. The homogeneous formazan globule was round or oval homogeneous N-d positivity which distributed in the gray matter and dorsal column. In the medulla oblongata, ANBs were revealed in the gracile nucleus, nucleus reticularis lateralis (ventrolateral spinal trigeminal nucleus) and middle of the spinal trigeminal nucleus.
