Spine
-
Retrospective study of a prospectively gathered database. ⋯ T and L spine injuries in the elderly are not uncommon despite restraint use. Whereas seatbelts used alone and in conjunction with airbag deployment reduced fatalities and neurological injuries in the elderly, deployment of airbags in occupants without seatbelts predisposed to more severe injury.
-
A case report. ⋯ Electrophysiological monitoring might be useful when intraoperative anatomical findings of the hemodynamic structure are inadequate. Moreover, in our case, intraoperative changes in motor evoked potentials indicated the risk to occlude one of posterior SAs, although it is said that posterior circulation of spinal cord has ischemic tolerance.

Retrospective analysis. ⋯ 3.
-
A population-based, cross-sectional study. ⋯ Fat infiltration within muscle could lead to inhibition of normal activity of musculature. The present study suggests that fat within cervical multifidus muscle could directly cause postural instability in static standing, even though the proprioceptive information has normal lower limbs.
