Radiographic evaluation of ventral instability in lumbar spondylolisthesis: do we need extension radiographs in routine exams?
Slip percentage in routine standing extension radiography ultimately does not differ from that obtained in a static neutral standing view. Extension radiography may therefore be omitted in a routine work-up of ventral instability in lumbar spondylolisthesis.
Diet-induced obesity created a proinflammatory MG microenvironment in mice, which was associated with zinc-mediated ER stress and autophagy and the activation of premature involution.
