Spinal bones are called vertebrae. Vertebroplasty is used most often to treat a type of injury called a compression fracture. These injuries are usually caused by osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bone. Osteoporosis is most common in older people.

Vertebroplasty involves injecting a type of bone cement into a broken spinal bone. In a similar treatment, called kyphoplasty, a balloon is first inserted into the spinal bone. The balloon is inflated to create more space inside the bone. Then the balloon is deflated and removed before the cement is injected.
The type of anesthesia you receive depends on the type of procedure and the number of spinal bones involved. General anesthesia keeps you in a sleep-like state during the procedure. Most people, though, just need to be sedated. Sedation drugs make you relaxed and sleepy.
Most transport of dangerous goods is handled by shippers who are knowledgeable in the area of shipping hazmat. For many travelers, however, it is unknown what types of things are considered dangerous goods. Some examples of dangerous goods are aerosols, lithium batteries, infectious substances, fireworks, dry-ice, gasoline powered engines and machinery, lighters, and paint. (table from 4.2)
Out of the over 1.25 million packages of hazmat shipped each year, three types of dangerous goods stand out. These are items that are most commonly shipped, being flammable liquids, dry-ice, and lithium batteries. Dry ice is widely used as a refrigerant for goods such as frozen foods and pharmaceuticals, including vaccines.

This section is organized alphabetically by type of surface distress. If you are looking for a specific type, scroll down and look at the thumbnails to see which picture most closely matches the condition you are investigating. Photos of each type of distress are accompanied by a description of the distress, the reason it is a problem, some of the most likely causes and basic repair strategy.
Description: Cracks in a flexible overlay of a rigid pavement. The cracks occur directly over the underlying rigid pavement joints. Joint reflection cracking does not include reflection cracks that occur away from an underlying joint or from any other type of base (e.g., cement or lime stabilized).
Description: Surface depression in the wheelpath. Pavement uplift (shearing) may occur along the sides of the rut. Ruts are particularly evident after a rain when they are filled with water. There are two basic types of rutting: mix rutting and subgrade rutting. Mix rutting occurs when the subgrade does not rut yet the pavement surface exhibits wheelpath depressions as a result of compaction/mix design problems. Subgrade rutting occurs when the subgrade exhibits wheelpath depressions due to loading. In this case, the pavement settles into the subgrade ruts causing surface depressions in the wheelpath.
Investigations into oligomeric species of Aβ (via A11 immunoblotting) found no significant changes in protein levels with microglia elimination in 5xFAD mice (Fig. 5i, j). To confirm that APP processing was unchanged with microglia elimination in 5xFAD mice at the protein level, we immunoblotted cortical tissue for various components of the APP processing pathway including APP and its cleavage products, as well as proteins associated with α- (ADAM10), β- (BACE1), and γ- (PEN2 and PS1) secretase activity. We found significant elevations in full-length (fl) APP and Carboxy-terminal fragments of APP (C99 and C83) in 5xFAD mice relative to wild-type (Fig. 5k, l), but observed no reductions in protein levels with PLX5622 treatment in 5xFAD animals. Additionally, gene expression analyses of AD-related genes were performed (Fig. 5m; methods described in greater detail for Figs 8, 9) and we found minimal changes with microglia depletion, other than in microglial expressed genes (i.e., Trem2, Spi1, Inpp5d, and Ctsd).
Neither modulation of AD pathology nor microglial number grossly alter AD-related gene expression: Although we confirmed that the absence of microglia/treatment with PLX5622 did not alter the amount of Aβ produced, we wanted to explore the impact of pathology and microglia on genes associated with APP processing, Aβ clearance and metabolism, and AD in general (Fig. 5m). The only significant changes in gene expression in 5xFAD mice compared to wild-type were the upregulation of the transgenes (App and Psen1; as expected due to overexpression), and Apoe, all of which were not altered by the absence of microglia, and the downregulation of myeloid-expressed Trem2, Ctsb, Ctsc, and Ctsd in the absence of microglia, as expected. Comparisons of changes in expression between brain regions showed regional differences in Ache, Apoe, Ptk2b, Sorl1, and Sort1. Thus, both AD pathology and the absence of microglia have minimal effects on AD-related genes, and importantly, we observe no alterations in gene expression or protein production in the absence of microglia that could account for reduced plaque formation.
While microglia can be indefinitely depleted via the continued administration of CSF1R inhibitors, the microglial compartment can also be repopulated upon CSF1R inhibitor withdrawal17,40,41. To further prove that microglia are responsible for plaque formation, we sought to examine the effects of microglial repopulation in 5xFAD mice after 10 weeks of PLX5622 treatment. We treated a cohort of 1.5-month-old 5xFAD mice with PLX5622 (1200 ppm in chow) to eliminate microglia until 4 months of age, then CSF1R inhibitor-formulated chow was removed to stimulate microglial repopulation and the brains were examined one month later (Fig. 10a). Microglia repopulated all areas of the brain in both wild-type and 5xFAD mice (Fig. 10b), although overall densities were lower than the untreated mice in cortical regions (Fig. 10c, d; quantified in F). As demonstrated previously, untreated 5xFAD mice exhibit cortical plaques at 4 months of age, but 5xFAD mice devoid of microglia show reduced plaque formation (Fig. 4d, g, l). Furthermore, from our extended cohort of 5xFAD mice devoid of microglia, we know that plaque formation is severely diminished in treated 5xFAD animals, even by 7 months of age (Fig. 4e, h, m). However, examination of microglia-repopulated 5xFAD brains revealed the appearance of robust plaque pathology (Fig. 10d) with plaque numbers being equal to the untreated 5xFAD mice (Fig. 10g), although average plaque volumes were smaller (Fig. 10h). Notably, vascular pathology was still present in the repopulated brains (Fig. 10d), showing that the reintroduction of microglia does not reverse the vascular deposition of Aβ, at least within this one-month timeframe. Repopulating microglia associate with the new plaques but do not appear to react to the vascular deposits (Fig. 10e). Moreover, GFAP+ astrocytes associated with plaques in both control and repopulated 5xFAD brains (Fig. 10i, j), but were absent in 5xFAD brains devoid of microglia. Thus, the reintroduction of microglia in the 5xFAD brain via CSF1R inhibitor withdrawal coincides with a full restoration of plaque pathology and implicate the reappearance of microglia in the brain with the seeding and formation of plaques.
To further delineate these roles, we performed gene expression analyses of wild-type and 5xFAD mice in cortex, hippocampus, and thalamus, in both microglia-intact animals and mice lacking microglia for the entirety of their adult lives. Notably, we find hippocampal gene expression is greatly influenced by the presence of AD pathology relative to the cortex and thalamus, despite abundant plaque load in all these regions. RNA-seq analysis revealed that nearly all significantly altered genes, in 5xFAD compared to WT mice, were associated with microgliosis in the cortex and thalamus, while the hippocampus displayed reductions in gene expression associated with neuronal and synaptic function. The absence of microglia prevented many of these changes in 5xFAD mice, despite the continued presence of hippocampal plaques, due to a small population of surviving myeloid cells in the subiculum. Although plaque-associated microglia may protect against local neurite damage, the presence of microglia is also required for the reduction in expression of synaptic and neuronal genes in the hippocampus associated with AD. Notably, the absence of microglia is associated with no alterations in immune- and synapse-related genes, suggesting that microglia mediate most AD pathology-induced changes in gene expression. Therefore, microglia appear to have detrimental and beneficial roles in a preclinical model of AD. Whether these effects are stratified into separate populations (i.e., protective effects of plaque-associated microglia vs. harmful effects of non-plaque associated microglia, as recently suggested39) needs to be determined. 2ff7e9595c
