Omparison of morphometric, densitometrical data in the examination of the cervical spine of mammals

Abstract

Analysis of DDP on CT images and multiplanar reconstructions in humans and various groups of small domestic animals, determination of new etiopathogenetic mechanisms of intervertebral osteochondrosis development. The relevance of the Torg-Pavlov index at CT scan of the spinal cord for the objective assessment of stenosis of the structures of the spinal cord in all groups of young and middle-aged mammals, taking into account the formula (human_age = 16ln (dog_age) + 31) [1]. Measurements of the Pavlov-Torg index on X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracic cavity show the same result: stenosis [2]. The researchers, Danica Bannash of the University of California, Davis, and Elaine Ostrander of the National Institutes of Health, compared changes in methylation14 patterns with humans, studying 104 Labrador retrievers, ranging from puppies a few weeks old to 16-year-old dogs, studying issues of age and aging. in general and individual organs and systems.
