    K Luoma
    Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, Helsinki, Finland
    Spine (Phila Pa 1976) 26:680-6. 2001
    ..Signal intensity may be a more sensitive measure of disc degeneration. The validity of disc height as an indicator of early degeneration seems questionable...

    Pain 109:8-19. 2004
    ..The results suggest a possible contribution of the IL-1 gene locus polymorphisms to the pathogenesis of LBP. The possibility of chance findings cannot be excluded due to the small sample size...
