This study was conducted to identify anatomical variations of the spinal accessory nerve (SAN) in the upper neck, the landmark of the anterior and inferior border of level IIb, and to evaluate the nerve's effect on the border and the number of lymph nodes (LNs) in level IIb.
Conclusion: Several sources of variation in spinal indentation were identified: indentation site relocation, intraabdominal pressure, subject movement, muscular response, and stiffness estimation.
To investigate the variation in care and cost of spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), and to identify opportunities for improving healthcare value.
According to a large cross-national study, including primary care in 14 countries in 5 continents, the dominating pain problem was nonacute spinal pain; and despite certain variations, the cross-national manifestations of spinal pain were surprisingly equivalent.
The decrease in voluntary activation occurred in the absence of any variation in spinal modulation estimated from the H-reflex.
To minimize the effect of variations in spinal cord damage, seven animals were excluded prior to transplantation because their BMS scores at 28 dpi were more than two standard deviations from the mean score.
The rate of spinal surgery is increasing, although with significant geographic variation in spine surgery rates and spinal fusion rates [2, 3].
Proteomic analysis of spinal cord of the G93A SOD1 mouse showed a variation in the isoform pattern of CyPA.
Copy number variation of the SMN gene, responsible for spinal muscular atrophy, has been implicated as a risk factor for sporadic ALS[27].
Experimental models of in vitro testing of spinal fixation are limited by constraints on availability of cadavers, variations in quality of some structures, such as bone density and area of endplate preparation, implant location and fixation method [ 22].
