Utility of the 21-month neurodevelopmental outcome for predicting neurodevelopmental impairment at 36 months for preterm infants <29 weeks gestation.

Objective: To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the 21-month neurodevelopmental outcome for predicting the presence of neurodevelopmental impairment at 36 months corrected age in a population of preterm infants under 29 weeks gestation.

Study Design: This is a retrospective observational cohort study. Preterm infants born under 29 weeks gestation who were followed up at both 18-21 months and 36 months corrected age with outcome data available were enrolled.

Myofascial and discogenic origins of lumbar pain: A critical review.

The purpose of this three-part narrative review is to examine the anatomy of, and the research which supports, either the lumbar myofascia or intervertebral disc (IVD) as principal sources of our patient's low back pain. A comprehensive understanding of anatomical lumbar pain generators in combination with the current treatment-based classification system will further improve and enhance clinical decision-making skills. Section I reviews the anatomy of the spinal myofascia, myofascial sources of lumbar pain, and imaging of myofascial tissues.

The association of maternal overweight on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in premature infants (< 29 weeks) at 18-24 months corrected age.

Objective: To determine the association of maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 18-24 months corrected age (CA) in infants born < 29 weeks gestation.

Study Design: Infants born between 2005 and 2015 at < 29 weeks gestation were included. BMI was categorized into BMI [18.
