Chronic low back pain is a very important problem in our civilization. Does a spatial configuration of the vertebral column have an influence on the occurrence of chronic low back pain? Author has compared values of Whitman- Fergusson's angle and Cobb's angle for standing position in-patients and controls. No significant differences between both groups have been founded. Beside of this, inclination od sacrum to a horizontal line has had an influence on a value lumbar lordosis in both groups.
There is no agreement in the literature as to the time of the onset and progress of the vertebral column ossification. The aim of the present study was to determine the precise sequence of ossification of the neural arches and vertebral centra. Histological and radiographic studies were performed on 27 human foetuses aged from 9 to 21 weeks. It was found that the ossification of vertebrae commences in foetuses aged 10 and 11 weeks. Ossification centres appear first for neural arches in the cervical and upper thoracic vertebrae and by the end of 11th week they are present in all thoracic and lumbar neural arches. In the vertebral centra in foetus of 10 weeks ossification was found in the lower 7 thoracic and first lumbar vertebrae. By the end of 11th week ossification is present in the lower 4 cervical, all thoracic, all lumbar and 4 sacral vertebral centra. The study indicates that ossification of the neural arches proceeds in the craniocaudal direction, whereas in the vertebral centra it progresses from the lower thoracic vertebrae into both directions. Different shapes of ossification centres were also described. (Folia Morphol 2013; 72, 3: 230–238)
A drop in flexibility of the vertebral column is connected with chronic low back pain. Qualification of vertebral column flexibility is not so simple. Beside of clinical methods (for example Schober test), we can use a radiological method. Comparing values of Whitman- Fergusson's angle and Cobb's angle for standing and supine- lying position, author has stated a significant drop in elastic properties of the vertebral column in patients with chronic low back pain.
Scientific literature and museum exhibits are full of explicit and implicit claims about the possible postures and motion ranges of dinosaurs. For the example of the prosauropod Plateosaurus engelhardti I assessed the motion range of limbs and vertebral column in a CAD program using a 3D virtual skeletal mount. The range of motion of the forelimb is very limited, allowing the grasping of objects placed directly ventrally and ventrolaterally of the anterior torso. The manus is adapted for grasping. The powerful fore limb can barely reach in front of the shoulder, making a quadrupedal walking cycle impractical. Only a digitigrade pose of the pes with a steeply held metatarsus is feasible, and the morphology of the stylopodium and zeugopodium indicates a slightly flexed limb posture. Hind limb protraction and retraction are limited by the pelvic architecture. The neck has significant mobility both dorsoventrally and laterally, but blocks torsion. The dorsal vertebral column is flexible to a degree similar to the neck, mainly in the anterior half, but blocks torsion totally in the anterior and posterior thirds. The anterior dorsals are similar in shape to the posterior cervicals and significantly increase the motion range of the neck. The tail is highly flexible due to its large number of elements, showing more lateral than dorsoventral mobility. These results are compared to reconstruction drawings and museum skeletal mounts, highlighting a pattern of errors specific to certain widely used reconstruction methods.
Celem pracy była ocena aktywności fosfatazy zasadowej (Fz) i kwaśnej (Fk) w surowicy szczurów po usunięciu jajników oraz po zastosowaniu estrogenowej terapii zastępczej. Oceniono również związek pomiędzy gęstością mineralną kości (BMD) żuchwy i kręgosłupa a parametrami metabolizmu kostnego. Stężenie fosfatazy zasadowej i kwaśnej było najwyższe u zwierząt z niedoborem estrogenów, a podawanie 77-ß estradiolu znamiennie obniżyło poziom badanych markerów. Stwierdzono również istotną ujemną korelację Fz i Fk z BMD żuchwy i kręgosłupa.
