CD24 identifies nucleus pulposus progenitors/notochordal cells for disc regeneration.

TL;DR: It is identified that CD24-positive NP cells are the resident progenitor/notochordal cells in disc regeneration and elucidate a crucial role of HIF-1α–Notch1 pathway in the phenotypic maintenance ofCD24- positive NP cells.

Computational architecture of a robot coach for physical exercises in kinaesthetic rehabilitation

TL;DR: A robot coach capable of demonstrating rehabilitation exercises to patients, watch a patient carry out the exercises and give him feedback so as to improve his performance and encourage him is developed.

Correlation between high-intensity zone on MRI and discography in patients with low back pain.

TL;DR: The findings confirm that the presence of HIZ on MRI is only a suggestive and screening iconography indication for the diagnosis of discogenic LBP and cannot replace the gold standard of the discography.
Journal ArticleDOI

The efficacy of a multimodal physical activity intervention with supervised exercises, health coaching and an activity monitor on physical activity levels of patients with chronic, nonspecific low back pain (Physical Activity for Back Pain (PAyBACK) trial): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the short and long-term efficacy of a multimodal intervention, consisting of supervised exercises, health coaching and use of an activity monitor (i.e. Fitbit Flex) compared to supervised exercises plus sham coaching and a sham activity monitor on physical activity levels, pain intensity and disability, in patients with chronic, nonspecific LBP.

CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain - United States, 2016.

TL;DR: This guideline is intended to improve communication between clinicians and patients about the risks and benefits of opioid therapy for chronic pain, improve the safety and effectiveness of pain treatment, and reduce the risks associated with long-term opioid therapy, including opioid use disorder, overdose, and death.

Grading the severity of chronic pain.

TL;DR: A Guttman scale analysis showed that pain intensity and disability measures formed a reliable hierarchical scale and may be useful when a brief ordinal measure of global pain severity is required.
