3D shape analyses of extant primate and fossil hominin vertebrae support the ancestral shape hypothesis for intervertebral disc herniation.

TL;DR: The results of the present study add weight to the hypothesis that intervertebral disc herniation in H. sapiens is connected with vertebral shape and suggest that individuals whose vertebrae are towards the ancestral end of the range of shape variation within H. Sapiens have a greater propensity to develop the condition than other individuals.

17β-estradiol protects nucleus pulposus cells from serum deprivation-induced apoptosis and regulates expression of MMP-3 and MMP-13 through promotion of autophagy.

TL;DR: The data suggest that serum deprivation-induced apoptosis and MMP-3, M MP-13, which was efficiently suppressed by the E2 through promoting autophagy in rat NPCs is suggested.

The immediate and short-term effects of dynamic taping on pain, endurance, disability, mobility and kinesiophobia in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain: A randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: The application of DT may result in improvements only in back extensor endurance among individuals with CNLBP, suggesting that DT controls the processes that lead to back muscle fatigue.

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.
