TAIL-LIKE CUTANEOUS APPENDAGE AT THE UPPER THORACIC REGION WITH A CONTINUOUS STALK OF LIMITED DORSAL MYELOSCHISIS

Tail-like cutaneous appendage at the upper thoracic region with a continuous stalk of limited dorsal myeloschisis

Limited dorsal myeloschisis (LDM) is characterized by a fibroneural stalk linking the skin lesion to the underlying spinal Above Ground Product (White Goods) cord.LDMs originally have either saccular or nonsaccular (flat) skin lesion; we recently demonstrated the human tail-like cutaneous appendage at the lumbosacral region, which is a morphologica

Comparison of the Production of Extracellular Matrix in Nucleus Pulposus of Intervertebral Disc in Alginate and Chitosan-Gelatin Scaffolds

Background: Low back pain is an important disorder linked with degenerative changes in the intervertebral disc (IVD).Degradation of IVD is caused by decreased number of cells, reduced production and degradation of extracellular matrix of IVD tissue especially in nucleus pulposus (NP).Natural and synthetic scaffolds are used for regeneration of IVD
