Machine Learning and Symptom Patterns in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Web-Based Survey Study

Machine Learning and Symptom Patterns in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Web-Based Survey Study

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a progressive spinal cord injury caused by spinal cord compression from degenerative pathology and consists of various subcategories of pathology, including cervical spondylotic myelopathy, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, ossification of the ligamentum flavum, and degenerative disc disease [1-4]. It is estimated to affect 2% of adults, although fewer than 10% are currently diagnosed [5,6].

Rapidly Deteriorating Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Following Ventricular Shunt Revision for Hydrocephalus: Case Report

Rapidly Deteriorating Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Following Ventricular Shunt Revision for Hydrocephalus: Case Report

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the umbrella term for a range of chronic spinal injuries caused by cervical stenosis due to degenerative or congenital pathology [1,2]. DCM presents with motor or sensory dysfunction in the upper or lower limbs, such as the loss of dexterity, paresthesia and imbalance, pain, and bladder and bowel dysfunction [3]. We report the case of a patient with worsening DCM following the treatment of coexisting hydrocephalus.

Cervical Myelopathy and Social Media: Mixed Methods Analysis

Cervical Myelopathy and Social Media: Mixed Methods Analysis

The following keywords were used for the search: cervical myelopathy or cervical [AND] myelopathy. The methods in this study were based on methods described in previous studies [15,19]. We analyzed tweets and accounts individually. The following types of accounts were excluded: (1) duplicate accounts, (2) accounts with less than 10 tweets, (3) bots, and (4) accounts with less than 15 followers.

An Adapted Cancer Screening Education Program for Native American Women With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and Their Caregivers: Protocol for Feasibility and Acceptability Testing

An Adapted Cancer Screening Education Program for Native American Women With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and Their Caregivers: Protocol for Feasibility and Acceptability Testing

While nearly 3 quarters of individuals with IDD (74%) reported having had a mammogram (vs 65.6% of women in the general population), only 57% of women with IDD reported cervical cancer screening in the past 3 years (vs 68.1% of women in the general population) [5-7]. Native American women are also less likely than the general population to undergo breast cancer screening (56.7% vs 71.5%, respectively) and cervical cancer screening (76.9% vs 83%, respectively) [8-10].

Brachioradial Pruritis Due to Cervical Spine Pathology

Brachioradial Pruritis Due to Cervical Spine Pathology

It is speculated that both cervical spine disease and sun-induced cutaneous nerve injury are important contributors, with varying degrees of presentation [1]. Patients often present with a history of sun exposure and are mostly middle-aged and female [2]. It has been postulated that neuropathic brachioradial pruritus may be the result of UV damage to nerve endings in an at-risk population with cervical spine pathology [3].

A Family-Centered Sexual Health Intervention to Promote Cervical Cancer Screening Uptake Among Low-Income Rural Women in India: Protocol for a Community-Based Mixed Methods Pilot Study

A Family-Centered Sexual Health Intervention to Promote Cervical Cancer Screening Uptake Among Low-Income Rural Women in India: Protocol for a Community-Based Mixed Methods Pilot Study

Cervical cancer is a vivid indicator of global health disparity, as 90% of all deaths due to cervical cancer occur in low- and middle-income countries [1]. It is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and India accounts for 16% of cervical cancer cases and 30% of cervical cancer deaths globally [1-4]. Every year in India, 96,922 new cervical cancer cases are diagnosed, and 60,078 women die due to late diagnosis and no access to lifesaving treatment [2,4].

A Clinical Decision Support System for Assessing the Risk of Cervical Cancer: Development and Evaluation Study

A Clinical Decision Support System for Assessing the Risk of Cervical Cancer: Development and Evaluation Study

Cervical cancer is one of the most common and deadliest cancers after breast cancer in women [1]. Approximately 85% of cervical cancer deaths occur in transitional countries, and the rate of cervical cancer death in low- to middle-income countries is 18 times higher than that of high-income countries [2]. Among the causes of cervical cancer, human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 are associated with more than 70% of cervical cancers.

Prevailing Outcome Themes Reported by People With Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Focus Group Study

Prevailing Outcome Themes Reported by People With Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Focus Group Study

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) arises when arthritic changes of the cervical spine cause compression and a progressive injury to the spinal cord [1]. This is the most common cause of spinal cord dysfunction worldwide [2]. Sadly, most patients are left with life-changing disability, despite treatment.

Tackling Research Inefficiency in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Illustrative Review

Tackling Research Inefficiency in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Illustrative Review

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) arises when degenerative changes of spinal structures cause myelopathy of the cervical spinal cord [1]. These degenerative changes include spondylosis, disc prolapse, hypertrophy, calcification, and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and ligamentum flavum [1]. Ultimately, this results in stenosis of the spinal canal leading to cord compression, mechanical stretch, repetitive microtrauma, and chronic reduction in cord blood flow [1,2].

Lessons From Recruitment to an Internet-Based Survey for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Comparison of Free and Fee-Based Methods

Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM) is a syndrome of cervical cord compression secondary to degenerative disease of the cervical spine [1]. Causative pathology includes disc herniation, osteophyte formation and ligament hypertrophy or ossification. Symptoms are often initially subtle and mislabelled as "old age."
