Vertebral Column: Regions and Curvature

Vertebral Column: Regions and Curvature

The vertebral column or spine is a flexible column that supports the head, neck, and body and allows for their movements. It also protects the spinal cord.
Regions of the Vertebral Column
In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form the...

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints

As the name indicates, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage, a tough but flexible type of connective tissue. Unlike synovial joints, these types of joints lack a joint cavity and involve bones joined together by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary or...

Articulations of the Vertebral Column

Articulations of the Vertebral Column

In addition to being held together by the intervertebral discs, adjacent vertebrae also articulate with each other at synovial joints formed between the superior and inferior articular processes called zygapophysial joints (facet joints). These are plane joints that provide for only limited motions between the vertebrae. The orientation of the articular processes at these joints varies in different regions of the vertebral column and serves to determine the types of motions available in each...

Muscles of the Vertebral Column

Muscles of the Vertebral Column

The back muscles that lie deep into the thoracolumbar fascia are called intrinsic or true back muscles. These muscles are divided into four layers: superficial, intermediate, deep, and deepest layers.
Superficial Layer:
The superficial layer consists primarily of the splenius muscles, which include the splenius capitis and splenius cervicis. These muscles are mainly responsible for the head and cervical spine movements, including extension, rotation, and lateral bending. The splenius capitis...

Sexually Transmitted Infections

Sexually Transmitted Infections

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction

Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction

Intervertebral disc herniation refers to the displacement of the nucleus pulposus (the gel-like inner core of the disc) through a tear or weakened area in the annulus fibrosus (the outer fibrous ring). The displaced disc material extends beyond the normal boundaries of the disc space and may compress or irritate nearby spinal nerve roots or, less commonly, the spinal cord.Etiology and Risk FactorsHerniation commonly results from degeneration, in which aging reduces disc hydration and...

Sus antecedentes:

La espondilitis anquilosante es una condición reumática inflamatoria prevalente que afecta el esqueleto axial.
Causa dolor de espalda inflamatorio, lo que lleva a limitaciones físicas y reducción de la calidad de vida.
Los recientes avances en imágenes y terapias han influido significativamente en el manejo de enfermedades en la última década.

Objetivo del estudio:

Evaluar la efectividad de los tratamientos actuales para inhibir la progresión radiográfica y el daño estructural en la espondilitis anquilosante.
Para resaltar el papel de las terapias convencionales y los tratamientos emergentes en el manejo de la espondilitis anquilosante.

Principales métodos:

Revisión de los recientes avances en las técnicas de imagen para la espondilitis anquilosante.
Análisis de estrategias terapéuticas que incluyen agentes antiinflamatorios no esteroideos, fisioterapia y bloqueadores del factor de necrosis tumoral.

Principales resultados:

La eficacia de los medicamentos actuales para detener la progresión radiográfica sigue siendo incierta.
Los agentes antiinflamatorios no esteroideos y la fisioterapia son vitales para el manejo continuo de la espondilitis anquilosante.
Los bloqueadores del factor de necrosis tumoral representan un avance significativo para los pacientes que no responden a los tratamientos tradicionales.

Conclusiones:

Si bien los nuevos tratamientos son prometedores, su impacto a largo plazo en la progresión de la enfermedad requiere más investigación.
La gestión integrada que combina las terapias convencionales con nuevas opciones como los bloqueadores del TNF es clave.
Se necesitan más investigaciones para determinar si la progresión radiográfica puede inhibirse completamente.
