Disease relevance of Cervical Vertebrae

 

High impact information on Cervical Vertebrae

  • This ectopic expression results in a homeotic transformation of the occipital bones towards a more posterior phenotype into structures that resemble cervical vertebrae, whereas it has no effect in regions that normally express Hox-4 [6].
  • We found that the expression of Hoxa-4 was indeed reduced in the cartilage primordia of cervical vertebrae of embryonic day 12.5 embryos [7].
  • Mice homozygous for a targeted disruption of Hoxd-3 (Hox-4.1) exhibit anterior transformations of the first and second cervical vertebrae, the atlas and the axis [8].
  • Mutations to the FGD1 gene result in a human developmental disorder affecting specific skeletal structures, including elements of the face, cervical vertebrae and distal extremities [9].
  • Biomechanics studies have determined that after rear impact C6 is rotated back into extension before movement of the upper cervical vertebrae [10].
 

Anatomical context of Cervical Vertebrae

  • TECHNIQUE: The upper cervical vertebrae were exposed via a midline posterior incision, the posterior arch of C1 was excised, and the vertebral arteries were mobilized [11].
  • Fetuses were double stained with alcian blue and alizarin red for examination of cartilaginous and ossified vertebral and rib characteristics, and in selected fetuses cervical vertebrae were disarticulated for more detailed analysis [12].
  • In this situation, an anterior fusion of the second and third cervical vertebrae is preferred to a posterior fusion from the atlas to the third cervical vertebra, which would abolish lateral rotation between C1 and C2 [13].
  • We found the cervical vertebrae increasing slightly in width from C3 to C7, while the width of the lumbar vertebrae remained almost constant [14].
  • A Rando Alderson phantom comprising a natural human cranium and cervical vertebrae embedded in a thermoplastic material simulating human soft tissue was used to measure absorbed dose to the thyroid gland.These measurements were made using lithium fluoride (LiF) TLDs [15].
