Article Synopsis
- The study explored the link between the size of the ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) and the fatty degeneration of the multifidus muscle (MFD) in cervical spine patients, hypothesizing that larger OPLL sizes lead to worse MFD.
- Researchers analyzed clinical data from 100 patients, measuring OPLL size, MFD severity using the Goutallier classification, and cervical range of motion (ROM), finding significant correlations between these factors.
- Results indicated that as OPLL size increased, so did MFD severity, and patients with continuous OPLL had worse MFD than those with segmental OPLL, impacting the range of motion in the cervical spine.
Objective: To prove the hypothesis that the parameters of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) during will be more deteriorated in neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) than in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the data of 69 patients (NMS=32, AIS=37) who underwent scoliosis surgery under IONM. The amplitude of motor evoked potentials (MEPs), and the amplitude and the latency of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) were examined.
We investigated the effects of a feed containing larvae injected with bacteria on the growth and immunity of . The feed was prepared by replacing fishmeal in feed with 25 and 50% nonimmunized (HIL25, HIL50) or immunized HIL (ImHIL25, ImHIL50), and its protein:fat:carbohydrate ratio was 45:15:18. ImHIL extracts showed inhibitory activity against fish pathogenic bacteria.

However, the correlation between preSEPs and IONM on postoperative neurologic deterioration (PND) in ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) has not been studied. Thus, under the hypothesis that the patients with deteriorated preSEPs would be more likely to have significant changes in intraoperative SEPs (ioSEPs), and that this would be correlated with PND, we investigated the prognostic value of preSEPs on IONM and PND.
