C2 Slope as an Independent Predictor of Cervical Lordosis Loss Following Laminoplasty

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Cervical radiographic measurements demonstrate that the C2 slope is an independent predictor of cervical lordosis loss after laminoplasty, aiding preoperative risk assessment and surgical decision‐making. ABSTRACT Objective Postoperative loss of cervical lordosis remains a common and clinically relevant complication following laminoplasty, negatively ...

Effects of Bracing Combined With Tele‐Rehabilitation‐Guided Family Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis‐Specific Exercises on Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
For adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis, tele‐rehabilitation‐guided physiotherapeutic scoliosis‐specific exercises combined with the Chêneau brace can effectively improve the degree of spinal deformity. This new strategy may be a reliable and efficient conservative treatment.

The role of the paraspinal muscles in the development of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis based on surface electromyography and radiographic analysis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Patients with idiopathic scoliosis commonly present with an imbalance of the paraspinal muscles. However, it is unclear whether this muscle imbalance is an underlying cause or a result of idiopathic scoliosis.

Infrared Thermal Imaging Enhanced Selection Intensity for Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Soft Winter Wheat

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Development of Fusarium head blight (FHB)‐resistant winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties relies heavily on visual scoring for large‐scale field evaluations. However, visual assessment of FHB symptoms remains a bottleneck in FHB resistance breeding due to its inherent subjectivity. At a single‐spike scale under greenhouse conditions, a

Turgor loss point explains climate‐driven growth reductions in trees in Central Europe

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Leaf turgor loss point of native tree species shows a high predictive power over the observed growth anomalies in Central Europe during the extensive drought period between 2018 and 2020. Abstract As climate change thrives, and the frequency of intense droughts is affecting many forested regions, a mechanistic understanding of the factors conferring ...

Scientists in power plays: How substantive were scientists' narratives during the COVID‐19 pandemic?

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientists who provide expert advice must engage with policy processes. Little is known about whether and how scientists deal with the political dynamics of policy processes that are inherent to policymaking. We study this question by building on the policy dimension concept within the Narrative Policy Framework.
