  2. 1. Cell Therapy in lntervertebral Disc Degeneration

    Author : Papadimitriou Nicolaos; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Low back pain; Mesenchymal stromal cell; Intervertebral disc; Intervertebral disc degeneration; Degenerative disc disease; Cell therapy;

    Abstract : Background: Chronic low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is central in the pathogenesis. The injection of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) into degenerate intervertebral discs (IVDs) has been proposed as an alternative therapy. READ MORE

  4. 2. Effects of high intensity focused ultrasound on the intervertebral disc

    Author : Johan K Persson; Lund Ortopedi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; medical instrumentation; tomography; radiology; Clinical physics; Biofysik; Biophysics; Thermal therapy; Disc herniation; Intervertebral disc; High intensity focused ultrasound; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study was to study and try to optimise high intensity focused ultrasound treatment of the intervertebral disc. We demonstrated that it was possible to heat intervertebral discs with HIFU delivered by 50 or 5 mm diameter ultrasound transducers. READ MORE

  5. 3. Vehicle Disc Brake Roughness Noise : Experimental Study of the Interior Noise andVibro-Acoustic Modelling of Suspension Systems

    Author : Eskil Lindberg; Nils-Erik Hörlin; Peter Göransson; Wolfgang Kropp; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; acoustics; disc brake; surface topography; wire brush noise; roughness noise; component mode synthesis; vehicle suspension;

    Abstract : Prediction of vehicle disc brake roughness noise is a non-trivial challenge. In fact, neither the source mechanisms, nor the transfer paths are so far well understood. READ MORE

  6. 4. Discogenic pain - A diagnostic challenge

    Author : Hanna Hebelka; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; discography; disc; disc pressure; low back pain; axial loaded MRI; validity;

    Abstract : Low back pain (LBP) is a common health complaint with a lifetime prevalence up to 80%. Patients with discogenic pain constitute a minority of all with LBP but represent an important group with substantial personal consequences and high demands on health-care and social systems.

  7. 5. Lumbar disc herniation surgery

    Author : Fredrik Strömqvist; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
    Keywords : Lumbar disc herniation surgery; outcome; PROMs; gender differences;

    Abstract : Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) most commonly affects individuals in their early forties but can occur at any age. In most instances,the initial treatment is non-surgical and a clear majority of the patients recover with this management. READ MORE
