A bulge of disc material, along with ligamentum flavum thickening and facet joint hypertrophy, can contribute to mild spinal canal narrowing by encroaching on the space that the spinal cord and nerve roots occupy. This narrowing, known as spinal stenosis, can lead to compression of neural structures, potentially causing symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs. The combination of these factors often occurs due to age-related degeneration or mechanical stress on the spine. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain management, or, in more severe cases, surgical intervention.
Narrowing of the neural foramina is the constriction of the nerve passageways, or foramina, in the spine. This results in compression of the nerve.

Yes. Glaucoma results in the narrowing of the visual field until it is gone rresulting in blindness.
Directional selection always results in the narrowing of the bell curve distribution of alleles. This occurs when individuals at one extreme of the phenotypic range have a higher fitness, causing the frequency of the alleles associated with that extreme to increase in the population over time.
He contributed the ability to combine or limit search terms. He added words like AND, OR, and NOT. This allowed searchers to zero in on their desired results quicker by eliminating unwanted results.

Byssinosis is a chronic, asthma-like narrowing of the airways. Also called brown lung disease, byssinosis results from inhaling particles of cotton, flax, hemp, or jute.
Joint space narrowing at the radiocarpal joint typically indicates degeneration or arthritis of this joint. It results in a reduction in the space between the bones, which can lead to pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in the wrist. Treatment might involve medication, physical therapy, or in severe cases, surgery.

A control experiment provides a benchmark against which to compare the results of the main experiment. For example, to know if heating a material changes its resistance, you must be able to compare the results of the heated experiment to a copy in which the material was left unheated.
