Use of the iPhone for Cobb angle measurement in scoliosis [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Spine Journal, 2011
The Cobb technique is the universally accepted method for measuring the severity of spinal deformities. Traditionally, Cobb angles have been measured using protractor and pencil on hardcopy radiographic films. The new generation of mobile 'smartphones' make accurate angle measurement possible using an integrated accelerometer, providing a potentially ...

Understanding the influence of transfusion and blood loss on tranexamic acid concentration in scoliosis surgery with blood loss

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Tranexamic acid (TXA) stabilizes clot formation by inhibiting fibrin degradation and improves postoperative outcomes. However, rare adverse events (e.g., thrombosis, seizures) warrant dose–risk evaluation. This study examines how perioperative blood loss and transfusion practices affect TXA concentrations during paediatric scoliosis surgery ...

Impact of kyphosis exceeding 30° on lumbar spine in patients with post-traumatic kyphosis

open access: yesScientific Reports
This study investigated the impact of post-traumatic kyphosis (PTK) on the lumbar spine using a local Cobb angle of 30° as the cutoff point. The measurements included the local Cobb angle, lumbar lordosis angle (L1–L5), intervertebral space angle (IVSA),

Construction and Validation of a Preoperative Surgical Difficulty Prediction and Risk Stratification System for Posterior Spinal Deformity Correction Surgery Based on Machine Learning ‐ Multicenter Cohort Study

open access: yesiMetaMed, EarlyView.
A web calculator, trained on multicenter data with seven Boruta‐selected preoperative features, predicts prolonged operative time for posterior spinal deformity correction to enable individualized planning and optimized operating‐room resources. ABSTRACT Operative duration reflects surgical complexity and is valuable for perioperative planning.

Does cervical curvature affect neurological outcome after incomplete spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA): 1-year follow-up

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2022
Background At present, surgery is the primary clinical treatment for SCIWORA patients, but conservative treatment still plays an important role in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury. As an important index of cervical spine degeneration, cervical

Reliability of a Novel Cobb Protractor for Measuring the Cobb Angle of Radiograph in Scoliosis

open access: yesChinese Medical Sciences Journal, 2015
To introduce a novel Cobb protractor and assess its reliability and rapidity for measuring Cobb angle in scoliosis patients.The novel Cobb protractor had two endplate markers. A measurement was performed just to align the two markers to each endplate of the curve.

Optimization of Microfibrillated and Nanofibrillated Cellulose Coating to Improve Performance of Paperboard Intended for Food Packaging Applications

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
This study aims to optimise the application methods of a biobased suspension of micro/nano cellulose fibrils from agro‐biomass subjected to high‐pressure homogenisation. Two methods were selected, bar coating (BC) and spray coating (SC), and were tested using an LF factorial design with 3 levels and 2 factors.
