Nucleus pulposus post-surgical dehydration is a condition that can occur after spine surgery aimed at relieving pressure on spinal nerves or discs. The nucleus ...

Nucleus Pulposus Autoimmune Dehydration (NPAD) refers to a process in which the central, gelatinous core of the intervertebral disc—the nucleus ...

The nucleus pulposus is the gelatinous core of each intervertebral disc, situated between the vertebral bodies of the spine. Composed primarily of water ...

The nucleus pulposus is the gelatinous core of each intervertebral disc, responsible for absorbing and distributing mechanical loads along the spine. Over ...

Nucleus Pulposus Traumatic Dehydration refers to the loss of water content and resilience of the gelatinous core (nucleus pulposus) of an intervertebral disc ...

Nucleus pulposus inflammatory dehydration refers to a degenerative process of the intervertebral disc’s gelatinous core (nucleus pulposus, NP) characterized by ...

Nucleus pulposus annulus-predominant dehydration** is a form of intervertebral disc degeneration in which the fluid-rich center of the disc (the nucleus ...

Nucleus pulposus endplate-predominant dehydration is an early stage of intervertebral disc degeneration characterized by loss of water content primarily in the ...

Nucleus Pulposus Circumferential Dehydration refers to the progressive loss of water content throughout the gel-like core of an intervertebral disc, extending ...

Nucleus pulposus ipsilateral focal dehydration refers to a localized loss of water content within the central gelatinous core (the nucleus pulposus) of an ...

Nucleus pulposus hydropic dehydration—often referred to as disc desiccation when it predominantly affects the gelatinous core of the intervertebral disc—is an ...

Nucleus Pulposus Degenerative Dehydration is a form of intervertebral disc degeneration characterized by loss of water content within the nucleus pulposus—the ...

Proteoglycans are large, highly hydrated molecules—chiefly aggrecan—in the nucleus pulposus (NP) of intervertebral discs that attract and retain water, ...

Proteoglycan loss in the C6–C7 intervertebral disc marks an early and pivotal change in cervical spine degeneration. Proteoglycans are large molecules within ...

Intervertebral discs are cushions between the vertebrae that allow flexibility and absorb shock. Each disc has a gel-like core called the nucleus pulposus, ...

Proteoglycans are large, sugar-coated proteins—chiefly aggrecan—in the soft “gel” core (nucleus pulposus) of each intervertebral disc. They attract and hold ...
