Abstract In this paper, we studied together on yoga in regard with yoga acts as cure for various diseases viz., high blood pressure, sugar, chronic head-ache, back pains, spondlites, tensions and stress released by practicing yoga regular basis. Yoga is replacement for any sort of medicine to cure the diseases affected by mankind. On observation except high blood pressure and sugar these two are chronicle diseases so no cure but it is under control unless and otherwise regularly one hour yoga should be in practice. As a result it observed that if three months continuously and rigorously if one practices and involved in yoga totally controlled one’s body and eligible for fitness in health which is ultimate goal for everybody. Apart from this if no disease affected even if they practice one hour yoga regular basis one need not take medicine for one’s health care and also no question of facing any sort of disease.

ABSTRACT Medical diagnosis through the classification of biomedical attributes is one of the exponentially growing fields in bioinformatics. Although a large number of approaches have been presented in the past, wide use and superior performance of the machine learning (ML) methods in medical diagnosis necessitates significant consideration for automatic diagnostic methods. This study proposes a novel approach called concatenated resampling (CR) to increase the efficacy of traditional ML algorithms. The performance is analyzed leveraging four ML approaches like tree-based ensemble approaches, and linear machine learning approach for automatic diagnosis of inter-vertebral pathologies with increased. Besides, undersampling, over-sampling, and proposed CR techniques have been applied to unbalanced training dataset to analyze the impact of these techniques on the accuracy of each of the classification model. Extensive experiments have been conducted to make comparisons among different classification models using several metrics 16 December 2020 Submitted including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score.

  • Disc Herniation
    Disc Herniation What is a herniated disc? The spinal column is made up of bones that provide stability. In between the bones are cushions called discs; these discs act as shock absorbers. The discs are made up of a two parts: an outer shell of cartilage called the annulus fibrosis and a gel-like inner substance called the nucleus pulposus. In other words, a disc is like a jelly donut with an outer crust and soft filling. A disc herniation means that some of the gel inside the disc has leaked from its outer covering. This changes the shape of the disc leading to irritation and possibly compression of the spinal cord itself or one of its large branches. Disc herniations are much more common in adults than in children or adolescents. However, they can occur in young people, especially in athletes involved in gymnastics, golf, diving and weightlifting. How does disc herniation occur? Disc herniations occur when the bending or twisting forces placed on the spine cause too much physical stress for the disc to absorb. A disc herniation can occur with just one movement of the spine (e.g. picking up a heavy object) or it can be from a repetitive movement (e.g. a golf swing). Sometimes a disc herniation can result from a fall or accident. What are the sign and symptoms? Disc herniations can lead to back pain as well as pain into the buttocks and one or both legs. The pain is usually worse with activity, especially with bending forward, sitting, laughing or coughing.

  • Schmorl's Node As Cause of a Back Pain
    Case Report Annals of Clinical Case Reports Published: 23 Jul, 2021 Schmorl’s Node as Cause of a Back Pain: Case Report Mustafa Alaziz1 and Samir I Talib2* 1Uwaydah Clinic, USA 2Department of Internal Medicine, Raritan Bay Medical Center, USA Abstract Background: Schmorl’s node is a vertical herniation of the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc into the vertebral endplates. Several theories have been proposed to explain the pathophysiology of Schmorl’s node. It can be asymptomatic or it can result in a back pain. It can be isolated findings, or it can be associated with horizontal intervertebral disc herniation. Case Report: We present a case of symptomatic SN associated with horizontal intervertebral disc herniation in a 41 years male presented with complaints of low back pain radiating to the right buttock. Conclusion: Most cases of symptomatic Schmorl’s nodes respond to conservative treatment, however, several surgical intervention options can be used for refractory cases. Keywords: Schmorl’s node; Symptomatic; Back pain Introduction Schmorl Nodes (SNs) are a type of vertebral end-plate lesion, in which the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc herniates through the vertebral endplate into the body of the adjacent vertebra [1]. The Intervertebral disc consists of three parts [2]: First; the central part or the nucleus pulposus, which is the gelatinous layer of a hydrated collagen-proteoglycan gel, mainly type II collagen, acts as a shock absorber. Second; the outer part or the annulus fibrous consists of several laminated layers of fibrocartilage made up of both type I and type II collagen [2-4].

  • Neurological Examination of the Peripheral Nervous
    The Spine Journal - (2013) - Review Article Neurological examination of the peripheral nervous system to diagnose lumbar spinal disc herniation with suspected radiculopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis Nezar H. Al Nezari, PT, MPhty, Anthony G. Schneiders, PT, PhD*, Paul A. Hendrick, PT, MPhty, PhD Centre for Physiotherapy Research, University of Otago, Dunedin, 9016, New Zealand Received 23 August 2011; revised 9 May 2012; accepted 8 February 2013 Abstract BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Disc herniation is a common low back pain (LBP) disorder, and several clinical test procedures are routinely employed in its diagnosis. The neurological examina- tion that assesses sensory neuron and motor responses has historically played a role in the differ- ential diagnosis of disc herniation, particularly when radiculopathy is suspected; however, the diagnostic ability of this examination has not been explicitly investigated. PURPOSE: To review the scientific literature to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the neurolog- ical examination to detect lumbar disc herniation with suspected radiculopathy. STUDY DESIGN: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature. METHODS: Six major electronic databases were searched with no date or language restrictions for relevant articles up until March 2011. All diagnostic studies investigating neurological impair- ments in LBP patients because of lumbar disc herniation were assessed for possible inclusion. Re- trieved studies were individually evaluated and assessed for quality using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool, and where appropriate, a meta-analysis was performed. RESULTS: A total of 14 studies that investigated three standard neurological examination com- ponents, sensory, motor, and reflexes, met the study criteria and were included.

Norman Shealy, The Shealy Institute for Comprehensive Health Care and Clinical Research , 1328 East Evergreen Street, Springfield, MO 65803. INTRODUCTION Pain in the lumbosacral spine is the most common of all pain complaints. It causes loss of work and is the single most common cause of disability in persons under 45 years of age (1). Back pain is the most dollar-costly industrial problem (2). Pain clinics originated over 30 years ago, in large part, because of the numbers of chronic back pain patients. Interestingly, despite patients' reporting good results using "upside-down gravity boots," and commenting on how good stretching made them feel, traction as a primary treatment has been overlooked while very expensive and invasive treatments have dominated the management of low back pain. Managed care is now recognizing the lack of sufficient benefit-cost ratio associated with these ineffective treatments to stop the continued need for pain-mitigating services. We felt that by improving the "traction-like" method, pain relief would be achieved quickly and less costly. Although pelvic traction has been used to treat patients with low back pain for hundreds of years, most neurosurgeons and orthopedists have not been enthusiastic about it secondary to concerns over inconsistent results and cumbersome equipment.

Daniel Pitz Jacobsen V Abstract Lumbar disc herniation may affect the spinal nerve roots through mechanical pressure, but may also induce a local inflammatory response. Therefore, in an animal model mimicking the clinical situation after intervertebral disc herniation, the spinal nociceptive signaling and the gene expression changes in nucleus pulposus (NP) and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) tissue were studied. In addition, the effect of minocycline on the spinal nociceptive signaling and on the changes in gene expression in NP tissue was investigated.
