Injection device for the intervertebral disc

The intervertebral disc is avascular. With aging, calcified layers occlude the cartilaginous endplates, blocking the diffusion of nutrients and oxygen into the avascular disc. Under anaerobic condition, excessive production of lactic acid irritates nerves and further hinders transport of sodium sulfate essential for biosynthesis of the water retaining and load sustaining sulfated glycosaminoglycans. As the result of acid irritation and load shifting to facet joints, pain ensues. Through the pedicle, calcified endplate is punctured by a well-supported and elastically curved needle, injecting antacid to neutralize the lactic acid and enhance transport of sodium sulfate into the shielded discs between ilia. Disc filler or nutrients can also be injected through the curved needle into the degenerated disc.

The intervertebral disc is avascular. With aging, calcified layers occlude the capillaries at the cartilaginous endplates, reducing diffusion of nutrients and oxygen from capillaries into the avascular disc. Under anaerobic condition, excessive production of lactic acid decreases intradiscal pH and irritates surrounding nerves, causing persistent back pain. Antacid is injected into the painful disc to increase pH and alleviate back pain.

Trailer hitch assembly

The present trailer hitch assembly addresses the problem of lost tongue weight support and towing capacity when a person adds an extension to a trailer hitch for adding a slide-in camper to a truck or for moving a trailer back a little to increase the turning radius. Generally, when such an extension is utilized, the towing capacity of the vehicle to which the extension is attached is downgraded, due to the lengthening of the overall trailer hitch assembly and lack of structural support. Disclosed herein is a trailer hitch assembly that addresses this problem by providing extra structural support to boost this lack of structural support.
