Qualitative Grading of Severity of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Based on the Morphology of the Dural Sac on Magnetic Resonance Images
[ PUBLICATION ]
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective radiologic study on a prospective patient cohort.
OBJECTIVE: To devise a qualitative grading of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), study its reliability and clinical relevance.
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Radiologic stenosis is assessed commonly by measuring dural sac cross-sectional area (DSCA). Great variation is observed though in surfaces recorded between symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals.
METHODS: We describe a 7-grade classification based on the ...

Is spinal stenosis assessment dependent on slice orientation? A magnetic resonance imaging study
[ PUBLICATION ]
IntroductionLumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) treatment is based primarily on the clinical criteria providing that imaging confirms radiological stenosis. The radiological measurement more commonly used is the dural sac cross-sectional area (DSCA). It has been recently shown that grading stenosis based on the morphology of the dural sac as seen on axial T2 MRI images, better reflects severity of stenosis than DSCA and is of prognostic value. This radiological prospective study investigates ...

Decision-making in lumbar spinal stenosis: A survey on the influence of the morphology of the dural sac.
[ PUBLICATION ]
Surgical decision-making in lumbar spinal stenosis involves assessment of clinical parameters and the severity of the radiological stenosis. We suspected that surgeons based surgical decisions more on dural sac cross-sectional area (DSCA) than on the morphology of the dural sac. We carried out a survey among members of three European spine societies. The axial T2-weighted MR images from ten patients with varying degrees of DSCA and morphological grades according to the recently described ...

A snake-based approach to accurate determination of both contact points and contact angles
[ PUBLICATION ]
We present a new method based on B-spline snakes (active contours) for measuring high-accuracy contact angles. In this approach, we avoid making physical assumptions by defining the contour of the drop as a versatile B-spline curve. When useful, we extend this curve by mirror symmetry so that we can take advantage of the reflection of the drop onto the substrate to detect the position of the contact points. To keep a wide range of applicability, we refrain from discretizing the contour ...

PurposeNeurophysiological monitoring aims to improve the safety of pedicle screw placement, but few quantitative studies assess specificity and sensitivity. In this study, screw placement within the pedicle is measured (post-op CT scan, horizontal and vertical distance from the screw edge to the surface of the pedicle) and correlated with intraoperative neurophysiological stimulation thresholds.MethodsA single surgeon placed 68 thoracic and 136 lumbar screws in 30 consecutive patients ...

The surface properties of aluminum, such as chemical composition, roughness, friction, adhesion, and wear, can play an important role in the performance of micro-/nano-electromechanical systems, e.g., digital micromirror devices. Aluminum substrates chemically reacted with octadecylphosphonic acid (ODP/Al), decylphosphonic acid (DP/Al), and octylphosphonic acid (OP/Al) have been investigated and characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), contact angle measurements, and ...

AFM study of perfluoroalkylsilane and alkylsilane self-assembled monolayers for anti-stiction in MEMS/NEMS
[ PUBLICATION ]
Recent investigations have revealed the profound influence of stiction/adhesion, friction and wear on the reliability of micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS). Studies have shown that the so-called self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can be potential anti-stiction lubricants for MEMS/NEMS. Understanding the molecular tribological mechanisms of SAMs is a key to successfully designing and preparing super lubricants for MEMS/NEMS. For this purpose, perfluoroalkylsilane and ...

Relationship between sedimentation sign and morphological grade in symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis
[ PUBLICATION ]
PurposeWe aimed to study the relationship between two morphological parameters recently described on MRI images in relation to lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS): the first is the sedimentation sign (SedS) and the second is the morphological grading of lumbar stenosis.Materials and methodsMRIs from a total of 137 patients were studied. From those, 110 were issued from a prospective database of symptomatic LSS patients, of whom 73 were treated surgically and 37 conservatively based on symptom ...

Chronic low back pain attributed to lumbar disc degeneration poses a serious challenge to physicians. Surgery may be indicated in selected cases following failure of appropriate conservative treatment. For decades, the only surgical option has been spinal fusion, but its results have been inconsistent. Some prospective trials show superiority over usual conservative measures while others fail to demonstrate its advantages. In an effort to improve results of fusion and to decrease the ...

In micro∕nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS∕NEMS), surface-dominated forces, such as stiction∕adhesion and friction, play an important role because of the large surface-area-to-volume ratio. In order to control these forces and wear properties, optimal lubricant systems have been extensively investigated. Perfluoroalkyl self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are considered to be a strong candidate since the fluorinated carbon backbones are expected to show lower adhesion and friction. In this ...

Background: To analyse the relation between immediate intraoperative neurophysiological changes during decompression and clinical outcome in a series of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) undergoing surgery.
Methods: Twenty-four patients with neurogenic intermittent claudication (NIC) due to LSS undergoing decompressive surgery were prospectively studied. Intra operative trans-cranial motor evoked potentials (tcMEPs) were recorded before and immediately after surgical ...

STUDY DESIGN: Prospective neurophysiological study.
OBJECTIVE: To identify and quantify the neurophysiological effects of interspinous distraction during spine surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Interspinous devices have been introduced as an alternative treatment of LSS in selected patients aiming at obtaining indirect decompression. Nevertheless, there is no data on the immediate neurophysiological effect of distraction.
METHODS: Thirty patients with ...

IntroductionSymptomatic foraminal stenosis has been observed in patients with degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, asymmetrical disc degeneration and spondylolisthesis. Nevertheless not all patients with the above pathologies will develop symptomatic foraminal stenosis. We hypothesised that symptomatic patients have anatomical predisposition to foraminal stenosis, namely a larger pedicle height (PH) to vertebral body height (VH) ratio, leaving less room below the pedicle for the exiting ...

STUDY DESIGN: Computed tomography-based anatomical study.
OBJECTIVE: To study the secular changes in lumbar spinal canal dimensions.
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Development of symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis, among other factors, is related to the dimensions of the bony canal. The canal reaches its adult size early on in life. Several factors, including protein intake, may influence its final dimensions. As with increases in human stature from improvements of socioeconomic conditions, ...
