Learning from Wilkes and about Wilkes at Eurospine2023. #Eurospine

Don't miss Eurospine 2023 October 4-6 in Frankfurt. Honored to give a keynote lecture about our work on Modic changes. See you there! #orthotwitter #backpain #balgrist eurospine.org/events/annual-…

Very difficult to systematically review the inconsistent reporting of methods and train/validation/test set results. Roger Compte et al. call for methodological and reporting guidelines: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Congratulations to all the receivers of the young researcher travel grant of @ISSLS_Society @tamara_mengis @TerMcS @SpineWeek2023

What makes @ISSLS_Society so unique are individuals like David Hall. I am honored to receive this years David Hall award for participation in discussions @SpineWeek2023

Bioengineering ISSLS prize on advanced imaging for disc degeneration from @NBonnheim and Aaron Fields @ISSLS_Society @UCSFOrthosurg

New work with pretty figures from @ryanhalvorson80, @AbelTorresEspi2, and the rest of the team on modeling post-operative multivariable recovery trajectories following spine surgery (1/5)

Our brand new webpage! Dudli-Lab | Modic changes and CRPS Research Thank you ⁦@tamara_mengis⁩ for setting it up🙏 dudli-lab.ch

Large studies across different study sites are needed to understand multimodal diseases like #backpain. Harmonizing methods across study sites is critical to pool data from biosamples. In the frame of NIH BACPAC we have developed standards to do so. academic.oup.com/painmedicine/a…

Retreat of the #Dudlilab at Felsenegg. Thanks everybody for contributing excellent thoughts. So rewarding to work with you!

How to prevent useless lumbar spine MRIs

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100… Another important step towards understanding the pathobiology of #Modicchanges. Increased CRP in Modic change bone marrow correlates with blood CRP and tissue damage. Implication for #biomarker in #lowbackpain

New paper out! A systematic review showing evidence for the presence of systemic inflammation in chronic musculoskeletal spinal pain. Check it out: doi.org/10.1093/pm/pna…

New paper from @karimkhattab__ and the rest of our group on spatial distribution patterns of paraspinal muscle fat infiltration (Fat maps!) and chronic low back pain. @UCSFOrthosurg @EurSpineJournal

There is a painful medical condition that affects millions and histological knowledge is based on <10 qualitatively analyzed biopsies from the 80s! Read our first semi-quantitative histomorphometry study of Modic changes ⁦@OAC_Open⁩ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

3 days of excellent talks & networking @eCM_Journal Congress. Congrats to my entire group @IrinaHeggli, Nick Herger, Tamara Mengis, Friederike Schulze. Excellent presentations! This team effort was awarded with the Best Poster presentation for Tamara. Congrats! @OrsSpineSection

Just in time for the weekend: new paper supporting the previously suggested association between the "fear of round back lifting" and movement behavior in healthy pain-free individuals 👇👇👇

This is significant. Anti-inflammatory treatments might have negative effects on pain duration.

My lab is hiring a Postdoc to work on Modic changes. Great opportunity to work on a hot topic with a competitive salary!
