Validity and reliability of inertial measurement units used to measure motion of the lumbar spine: A systematic review of individuals with and without low back pain
Med Eng Phys. 2024 Apr;126:104146. doi: 10.1016/j.medengphy.2024.104146. Epub 2024 Mar 11.ABSTRACTLow back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of disability, resulting in aberrant movement. This movement is difficult to measure accurately in clinical practice and gold standard methods, such as optoelectronic systems involve the use of expensive laboratory equipment. Inertial measurement units (IMU) offer an alternative method of quantifying movement that is accessible in most environments. However, there is no consensus around the validity and reliability of IMUs for quantifying lumbar spine movements compared with gold standard...

Primary intradural Extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma of the cauda equina: a Case Report and Literature Review
We report a case of a 66-year-old male who presented with a 2-month history of low back pain and bilateral S1 sciatica, with acute sphincter dysfunction. Imaging studies revealed an intradural extramedullary lesion in the cauda equina spanning from level L4 to S1. The patient underwent partial removal of the intradural lesion. Histopathological examination showed the presence of small round cells, which were consistent with Ewing Sarcoma. The patient was then treated with targeted radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The rarity of IEES in this specific location underscores the significance of evaluating and managing patient...

Association Between Vertebral Endplate Defects and Patient-reported Symptoms: An Immunohistochemical Study Investigating the COX-2/PGE-2/EP-4 Axis
Low back pain is characterized by discomfort, muscle tension, or stiffness located between the ribcage and the upper part of the buttocks. Low back pain persisting>3 months is termed as chronic low back pain[1], which has become a worldwide problem affecting 70% to 90% of the world's population[2]. The etiology of chronic low back pain remains a puzzle[2]. Although a variety of anatomical structures can lead to pain, components of the lumbar spine are regarded as the primary sources, with the intervertebral disc having received the most attention[3,4].

Impact of Shared Decision-Making on Opioid Prescribing Among Patients with Chronic Pain: A Retrospective Cohort Study
This study measured whether SDM affects opioid prescribing frequency for chronic low back pain. A retrospective cohort study involving 1478 participants was conducted within a national pain research registry. The patient participation and patient orientation (PPPO) scale of the Communication Behavior Questionnaire was used to measure SDM, including classification of greater SDM (PPPO scale score≥80) or lesser SDM (PPPO scale score<80). Opioid prescribing frequency was measured at quarterly intervals from enrollment through 12 months. Baseline and longitudinal covariates were collected to adjust for potential confoundi...

Quantitative measurement of dural ectasia: associations with clinical and genetic characteristics in Marfan syndrome
ConclusionOur study shed further light on the relationship between genotype, dural pathology, and the overall clinical spectrum of MFS. The identification of protein-truncating variants and those impacting cysteine content may therefore suggest closer patient monitoring, in order to address potential complications associated with DE.

Evaluation of the thickness of the transverse muscles of the abdomen and the internal oblique muscles using ultrasound imaging in women with back pain
It has been estimated that chronic low back pain (LBP) affects 18% of young people, and 28-42% of people in middle age, with women being more affected than men. Chronic LBP can arise from a variety of factors, among which are biomechanical changes in core muscles, such as in their thickness, which can impair spinal stability.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders in dockworkers. Systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Musculoskeletal disorders seem prevalent among dockworkers, mainly degenerative spinal diseases and low back pain. Studies with greater methodological consistency are still needed to validate these hypotheses and assist in decision-making for implementing preventive and informational policies in maritime port management organizations.
