Robotic-Assisted Lumbar Fusion: An Effective Technique for Pedicle Screw Placement.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "AORN journal"
DOI: 10.1002/aorn.13612
Abstract: Degenerative lumbar disease is a common condition in which progressive deterioration of the structures in the spine causes severely incapacitating pain and disability. Conservative management, including passive or active physical therapy, activity modification, and medications… read more here.

Chronic in vivo optogenetic stimulation modulates neuronal excitability, spine morphology, and Hebbian plasticity in the mouse hippocampus
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Hippocampus"
DOI: 10.1002/hipo.23080
Abstract: Prolonged increases in excitation can trigger cell‐wide homeostatic responses in neurons, altering membrane channels, promoting morphological changes, and ultimately reducing synaptic weights. However, how synaptic downscaling interacts with classical forms of Hebbian plasticity is still… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.3595
Abstract: The current diagnosis of osteoporosis is limited to a T‐score ≤–2.5. However, asymptomatic vertebral fractures (VF) are known to predict a high risk of subsequent fractures and pharmaceutical intervention is known to reduce future fracture… read more here.

Motor development in infancy and spine shape in early old age: Findings from a British birth cohort study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Orthopaedic Research"
DOI: 10.1002/jor.24656
Abstract: Spine shape changes dramatically in early life, influenced by attainment of developmental milestones such as independent walking. Whether these associations persist across life is unknown. Therefore, we investigated associations between developmental milestones and spine shape,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00068-019-01143-z
Abstract: PurposeIt remains controversial how to immobilize the cervical spine (CS) in trauma patients. Therefore, we analyzed different CS immobilization techniques during prehospital patient transport.MethodsIn this explorative, biomechanical analysis of immobilization techniques conducted in a standardized… read more here.
