Despite the absence of sophomore forward Torin Francis, Notre Dame (12-9, 6-5 Big East) got its second straight conference victory in a 71-68 win over Seton Hall (16-6, 6-4) at the Joyce Center Saturday afternoon. "Everybody's really picking it up," junior guard Chris Thomas said. "You can't replace a double-double in Torin, but we're picking up the intensity and playing with a tremendous amount of confidence." The team announced Friday game that Francis - who averages 14.8 points and a team-high 8.8 rebounds per game - is out indefinitely due to a bulging disk in his lower back. Notre Dame lacked a consistent low-post threat, but Irish coach Mike Brey and the Irish changed the offensive scheme to cater to the personnel on the court.

86. ECR 2001 - Presentation A-0088 Consequently, better spontaneous evolution is reserved to free fragments and to herniations, while usually focal or diffuse bulging disks tend to remain more http://www.ecr.org/T/ECR01/sciprg/abs/pa0088.htm

A-0088 M. Gallucci L'Aquila/IT Degenerative disc disease One lesion is common to the different steps of disk degeneration: The tear of the annular fibers. It can be seen at MRI as a band of high signal intensity on T2 weighted images or as Gd enhancement. The progression of the annular fissures results in a dramatic destructuration of the intervertebral disks, leading to bulging, protruding (focal bulge), herniation or free disk fragment. Considering the diagnostic sensitivity, MR is the optimal diagnostic tool, comparable in sensitivity to myelo-CT, while myelo-MR has sensitivity and limits similar to conventional myelography: In both cases the incapacity of detecting extra-foraminal herniations, present in 10 - 20 % of cases, is due to the limit of the sub-arachnoid space in the neural foramen. Unequivocal protocols related to the treatment of disk pathology do not exist and long term follow-up studies of surgically and non-surgically treated patients indicate that, after a 5 to 10 year period, the successful rate is similar, and even after a 1 year period, good clinical outcome is registered up to 95 % of untreated patients. Anatomical spontaneous resolution of disk herniation is registered in up to 70 % of cases. The mechanisms mainly implicated seem to be dehydration, shrinkage, fragmentation and phagocytosis of herniated material, as consequence of detachment from the parent disk and activation of the inflammatory response. Consequently, better spontaneous evolution is reserved to free fragments and to herniations, while usually focal or diffuse bulging disks tend to remain more stable. In fact, in the first two cases, material from nucleus polposus is dislocated in extradiscal compartment, not receiving sufficient nutrients from the parent nucleus and activating inflammatory response.

Nomar Garciaparra and Trot Nixon remained in the news for the wrong reasons yesterday as both starters continue to be sidelined by physical ailments. ADVERTISEMENT In Fort Myers, Garciaparra received an MRI on his tender right heel. The All-Star shortstop missed four games while resting the heel and returned to the lineup in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Cincinnati. Manager Terry Francona said Garciaparra felt something in his second at-bat Wednesday, prompting the medical staff to order the MRI, which Francona said showed no damage. "You can tell he aggravated it," Francona said. Nixon flew to Los Angeles yesterday to receive a second opinion from Dr. Robert Watkins , a back specialist. The team released no news on Watkins's findings. Francona said Garciaparra's heel was "still a little bit tender back there. So I don't know what we're going to do. Guys missing time in spring training is not as important as guys missing time in the season. We'd love to run everybody out there and have them feel 100 percent. But we're going to try and get him to feel healthy as soon as he can. I thought we did that the other day by sitting him, but it was kind of aggravated a little bit." Francona said he wasn't worried at all about Garciaparra's 0-for-9 start and didn't attribute that to the injury.

T H E B U L G I N G L U M B A R D I S K As can be seen in the above illustration, a bulging disc is a herniated disc which is still contained by it's annulus . This is an important distinction to make. If given enough time and appropriate therapy, these willmore often than notget better! This is attributed the the disc "going back in," or with time drying out and shrinking. If the nerve has enough space to exit the spinal canal, then there will be minimal or no pain, thus obviating the need for surgery. But what if the disc annulus is too weak to repair itself, despite time, medications, and therapy? This may result in continued pain, or intermittent pain which only interferes with specific activities. Often in this latter case, the disc moves in and out compressing the nerve and thus causing sciatica. This type of disc bulge is described as an incompetent disc . Often the only way to demonstrate this condition is with a dynamic or motion study of the spine with X-rays. The traditional test for this is the myelogram Osteoarthritis and Stenosis Often a disc bulge occurs in a patient with "degenerative arthritis" known as Osteoarthritis. (This is to be distinguished from Osteoporosis, which is the thinning of bones due to loss of calcium, and which usually occurs in genetically predisposed post-menopausal women.) In the illustration below, the facet joint has become large (hypertrophied) and developed bony spurs, i.e. it is osteoarthritic.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser General Health Disk is slipped, bulging, and herniated... Help! Originally Published: March 29, 2002 Dear Alice, What is the difference between a slipped disk, a bulge in a lumbar disk, and a herniated disk? I am (for the past two months) experiencing severe back pain which radiated down my left leg. My MRI results came back and the nurse from the office said I had "disk disease" and "degeneration" as well as a "slipped disk." The doctor called me later and told me I have a "bulge" and an "arthritic" spine condition. I am trying to understand what the various terms mean (slipped vs. bulge vs. herniated). Could you tell me what the distinctions are? Dear Reader, Let's start at the top, or rather the back. Your spine is a column of thirty-three small bones called vertebrae. These bones create a protective tunnel for your spinal cord, a bundle of nerves that relay messages between the brain and the body. In between each vertebra is a small piece of disk-shaped cartilage. These "disks" act as a cushion and prevent the vertebrae from grinding against each other when you "do the Twist" or anything else that involves moving your back. Degenerative disk disease is a form of arthritis. This statement might be controversial, according to some. There's degenerative disk disease and degenerative osteoarthritis, but they're not necessarily considered the same. Other forms of arthritis also affect the spine, such as osteoarthritis of the spine, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Disk removal Definition Purpose Precautions Description ... Resources Definition One of the most common types of back surgery is disk removal (diskectomy), the removal of an intervertebral disk, the flexible plate that connects any two adjacent vertebrae in the spine. Intervertebral disks act as shock absorbers, protecting the brain and spinal cord from the impact produced by the body's movements. Purpose About 150,000 Americans undergo disk removal each year in the United States. Removing the invertebral disk is performed to treat back pain that has lasted at least six weeks as a result of an abnormal disk and that has not responded to conservative treatment. Surgery is also performed if there is pressure on the lumbosacral nerve roots that causes weakness or bowel or bladder disfunction. As a person ages, the disks between the vertebrae degenerate and dry out, and the fibers holding them in place tear. Eventually, the disk can form a blister-like bulge, compressing nerves in the spine and causing pain. This is called a "prolapsed" (or herniated) disk. If such a disk causes muscle weakness or interferes with bladder or bowel function because it is pressing on a nerve root, immediate surgery to remove the disk may be needed. The aim of the surgery is to try to relieve all pressure on nerve roots by removing the pulpy material from the disk, or the disk itself. If it is necessary to remove material from several nearby vertebrae, the spine may become unsteady. In this case, the surgeon will perform a spinal fusion, removing all the disks between two or more vertebrae and roughening the bones so that the vertebrae heal together. Bone strips taken from the patient's leg or hip may be used to help hold the vertebrae together. Spinal fusion decreases pain but it also decreases spinal mobility.

Albert, MD Introduction Pathophysiology Presentation Diagnostic Studies ... References Introduction Many physicians believe that degenerative disk disease is the most common cause of chronic, disabling low back pain (also know as diskogenic pain or internal disk disruption). In patients with degenerative disk disease, the original sharp border between the nucleus and the annulus gradually becomes less distinct, and cavitation, desiccation, and fibrocartilaginous metaplasia occur. The greatest increase in degeneration is observed in patients between the ages of 25 and 45. By 50 years of age, most individuals have some degree of disk degeneration. The L5-S1 intervertebral disk is the most commonly affected, followed by the L4-L5 intervertebral disk. Pathophysiology The three primary biochemical components of the intervertebral disk are collagen, proteoglycans, and water. These components constitute 90% to 95% of the normal disk volume. The outer annulus fibrosus is predominantly laminated collagen, and the inner nucleus pulposus is gelatinous in nature (

100. Akron General's Physical Therapy Department Can physical therapy relieve a bulging lumbar disc? A bulging disc can also produce symptoms of numbness or weakness in the leg. http://www.akrongeneral.org/pt/pt12.asp

Patient Education Rotator Cuff Tendinitis Lumbar ... Therapy Can physical therapy relieve a bulging lumbar disc? Discs are the cushions or shock absorbers located between each vertebra. The outer layer of the disc is made of fibrocartilage laid down in many layers to give the disc strength. The inner portion of the disc is made of a gel-like substance, which is mostly water. All discs will experience wear and tear as we get older. The lumbar discs are located in the lower portion of the spine and absorb most of the weight of the body. They are the most prone to wear-and-tear and injury. The discs can be injured by trauma, frequent repetitive movements like bending and twisting and prolonged static postures like sitting in a car or at a desk. The inner portion of the disc can push out on the injured part of the outer disc and cause the disc to swell or bulge. Bulging discs can cause local back pain and can even refer pain to one or both legs if the bulge is big enough. A bulging disc can also produce symptoms of numbness or weakness in the leg. An MRI or CAT scan can show the presence of a bulging disc. Most disc problems get better with a combination of time, rest and the proper treatment. The vast majority of bulging discs do not need surgery. This is where physical therapy can help.
