Do The Disc Degeneration And Osteophyte Contribute To The Curve Rigidity Of Degenerative Scoliosis?, Feng Zhu, Hongda Bao, Peng Yan, Shunan Liu, Mike Bao
Do The Disc Degeneration And Osteophyte Contribute To The Curve Rigidity Of Degenerative Scoliosis?, Feng Zhu, Hongda Bao, Peng Yan, Shunan Liu, Mike Bao

The factors associated with lateral curve flexibility in degenerative scoliosis have not been well documented. Disc degeneration could result in significant change in stiffness and range of motion in lateral bending films. The osteophytes could be commonly observed in degenerative spine but the relationship between osteophyte formation and curve flexibility remains controversial. The aim of the current study is to clarify if the disc degeneration and osteophyte formation were both associated with curve flexibility of degenerative scoliosis.

As recommended in the current prescribing information, rituximab infusions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) take 4.25hours for the first infusion and 3.25hours for subsequent infusions, which is a burden on patients and the health care system. We therefore evaluated the safety of infusing rituximab at a faster rate for an infusion period of 2hours in patients with RA.

While musculoskeletal problems are leading sources of disability, there has been little research on measuring the number of functionally limiting musculoskeletal problems for use as predictor of outcome in studies of chronic disease. This paper reports on the development and preliminary validation of a self administered musculoskeletal functional limitations index.
