Correlation study on infrared thermography and nerve root signs in lumbar intervertebral disk herniation patient: a short report

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether infrared skin thermography is an objective measurement reflecting the seriousness of nerve root irritation in lumbar disk herniation patients. DESIGN: Quantified nerve root signs by physical examination were collected from the patients along with the infrared skin temperature measurement on the lumbosacral region and posterior part of thighs. A correlation study was applied to observe the relation between the nerve root signs and the skin temperature before a successful conservative treatment (mainly spine manipulation), and between the alteration of nerve root signs and that of skin temperature after the treatment. SETTING: Hospitalized care. PATIENTS: Twenty-seven hospitalized samples with computed tomography or magnetic resonance approval were consecutively selected during the latter half of 1990. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Changes in nerve root signs. RESULTS: The temperature difference between a troubled thigh and healthy one is significantly correlated to the score of the nerve root signs before the treatment; and the reduction of temperature difference between two thighs is also significantly correlated with decreasing score of nerve root signs after the treatment. The correlation between the temperature difference on the left and right sides of the lumbosacral region and the nerve root signs before the treatment is insignificant; and the variation of the temperature difference of the same region after the treatment is not correlated with the decreasing score of the nerve root signs. CONCLUSION: Infrared skin thermography of lower extremities might be an objective sign in signaling the soothing process of the nerve root irritation in lumbar disk herniation patients, which may help a doctor in checking the responses of the patient to treatment.

Training sequence design and channel estimation of OFDM-CDMA broadband wireless access networks with diversity techniques

In this paper, an OFDM-CDMA system employing various diversity schemes is considered for a possible candidate of broadband wireless access networks and broadcasting applications. With an emphasis on a preamble design for multi-channel separation, we address a channel estimation based on the time-domain windowing and its imperfectness in OFDM-based multiple-antenna transmission systems. By properly designing each preamble for multiple antennas to be orthogonal in the time domain, the channel estimation can be applied to the HIPERLAN/2 and IEEE 802.11a standards in the case of more than two transmit antennas. Also, the effect of diversity techniques on the performance of OFDM-CDMA based broadband wireless access networks is investigated and the maximum achievable diversity gain for a two-path Rayleigh fading environment is evaluated. Simulation results show that the OFDM-CDMA system applying a space-time-frequency diversity with a full-rate full diversity code can give the diversity of D=4 and D=8 for both multi-user cases of maximum user and half user capacities, respectively.
