Mascots across the country have come under scrutiny in the past couple of years, leaving many schools no choice but to re-examine their cheer-inducing symbols.

Researchers from the Dartmouth Medical School and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center published their findings about lumbar fusion in the Nov. 1 edition of Spine, an international journal for the study of the spine. Within the article, the authors raise concerns about the recent rise of such procedures in the United States. According to the study, lumbar fusion rates have increased more than 250 percent over the past decade, with lumbar fusion now accounting for almost 50 percent of all back surgery performed in the U.S. However, the authors of the study say that there is no way of knowing if the increase is warranted, as there is no scientific or clinical evidence proving that lumbar fusion is effective. The rate of surgery varies regionally, with some areas performing surgeries at a rate of 20 times greater than other areas. These discrepancies can be attributed to "lack of scientific evidence, financial incentives and disincentives to surgical intervention, and difference in clinical training and professional opinion," Weinstein said.
