Clinical Course and Prognostic Factors of Older Patients With Back Pain and Radiating Leg Pain in General Practice: BACE Cohort Study.

Objective: Patients with back pain (BP) and radiating leg pain have poorer clinical outcomes compared to patients with BP alone. We aimed to describe the 1-year clinical course and to identify prognostic factors associated with non-recovery in older BP patients with radiating leg pain.

Design: Patients in the BACE cohort aged >55 years with a new episode of BP and radiating leg pain were included (n = 377).

Characteristics and outcomes of patients with low back pain with and without radiating leg pain following the GLA:D back program.

Background: Some patients with low back pain (LBP) also report radiating leg pain which is a prognostic factor for poorer clinical outcomes. We aimed: 1) to compare the baseline characteristics of patients with LBP with - (LBP + leg pain) and without radiating leg pain (LBP - alone); 2) to investigate whether patients with LBP + leg pain show similar post-treatment outcomes as compared to LBP - alone, after participation in an exercise and patient education program, i.e.

The prevalence, incidence and management of low back pain with radiating leg pain in Dutch general practice: A population-based cohort study in the Rijnmond Primary Care Database.

Background: Radiating leg pain is common in patients with low back pain (LBP). In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence and incidence of LBP with radiating leg pain in Dutch general practice, and to describe the prescribed medications and requested imaging diagnostics.

Methods: The Rijnmond Primary Care Database containing over 500,000 primary care patients was used to select patients ≥18 years with LBP with radiating leg pain between 2013 and 2021.

Tunable plasmonic tweezers based on graphene nano-taper for nano-bio-particles manipulation: numerical study.

We take advantage of graphene nano-taper plasmons to design tunable plasmonic tweezers for neuroblastoma extracellular vesicles manipulation. It consists of Si/SiO/Graphene stack topped by a microfluidic chamber. Using plasmons of isosceles-triangle-shaped graphene nano-taper with a resonance frequency of 6.
