Association between cardiovascular risk factors and degenerative disc disease of the thoracolumbar spine in the general population: results from the KORA MRI Study

Elke Maurer et al.

Summary: The study found significant independent associations between age and BMI with intervertebral disc degeneration, while cardiovascular risk factors showed no significant association with disc degeneration. This provides strong evidence that the pathologic process underlying disc degeneration is mechanical rather than microvascular in nature.

Fat infiltration in the multifidus muscle is related to inflammatory cytokine expression in the muscle and epidural adipose tissue in individuals undergoing surgery for intervertebral disc herniation

Greg James et al.

Summary: This study found differential expression of inflammatory genes in the multifidus muscle between individuals with different levels of fat infiltration, with the high-fat infiltration group showing higher expression. Additionally, inflammatory dysregulation was observed in epidural adipose tissue, potentially impacting tissue health and symptoms of low back pain.

Effect of exercise on myosteatosis in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Robinson Ramirez-Velez et al.

Summary: Muscle tissue typically contains only small amounts of adipose tissue, and exercise can reduce lipid infiltration and increase muscle attenuation coefficient. Age and intervention duration did not significantly affect the effects of exercise on lipid infiltration tissue and muscle radiation attenuation.

Distribution patterns of intramyocellular and extramyocellular fat by magnetic resonance imaging in subjects with diabetes, prediabetes and normoglycaemic controls

Lena S. Kiefer et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the distribution of intramyocellular lipids (IMCLs) and extramyocellular lipids (EMCLs) in abdominal skeletal muscle in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D), prediabetes, and normoglycaemic controls. Results showed significant differences in the amount and distribution ratio of IMCLs and EMCLs among subjects with different glucose metabolism statuses.

Erika Schneider et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated good linearity, accuracy, and reproducibility for all investigated manufacturers and field strengths. However, significant vendor-dependent and field strength-dependent bias were found.

Updated systematic review and meta-analysis on diagnostic issues and the prognostic impact of myosteatosis: A new paradigm beyond sarcopenia

Hyemin Ahn et al.

Summary: Myosteatosis, excessive fat infiltration in skeletal muscle, is considered a distinct disease from sarcopenia. However, the diagnosis and clinical impact of myosteatosis have not been well established. Providing a systematic review of current issues can elucidate future directions for developing standardized diagnosis and management.

Paraspinal muscle imaging measurements for common spinal disorders: review and consensus-based recommendations from the ISSLS degenerative spinal phenotypes group

Paul W. Hodges et al.

Summary: Paraspinal muscle imaging is important for understanding spinal health, but inconsistencies in studies are often due to factors such as neglecting underlying mechanisms of muscle changes, lack of control for confounding factors, and variations in imaging modalities and measurement protocols. Standardized measures and consideration of potential confounding factors are essential for advancing knowledge in this field.

Correlation between thoracolumbar disc degeneration and anatomical spinopelvic parameters in supine position on MRI

Sven S. Walter et al.

Summary: The study found a significant correlation between spinopelvic parameters and disc bulging, but not with disc degeneration, back pain, or cardiovascular risk factors. Men had a greater sacral slope, while women had a greater lumbar lordosis. Age was associated with pelvic tilt, but not with pelvic incidence, sacral slope, or lumbar lordosis.

Painful intervertebral disc degeneration and inflammation: from laboratory evidence to clinical interventions

Feng-Juan Lyu et al.

Summary: Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder with inflammation playing a crucial role in disc degeneration and pain. Various animal models and signaling pathways related to painful disc degeneration have been discussed, along with potential drug candidates to suppress discogenic LBP by targeting inflammation.
