Spinal phantom comparability study of Cobb angle measurement of scoliosis using digital radiographic imaging

Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2018
Summary: Background: Computed radiography (CR), digital radiography (DR) and biplanar radiography (EOS™ imaging system) are common imaging tools for radiographic evaluation of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

Increased Neck Tilt/T1 slope ratio may play an important role in patients with cervical kyphosis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021
Background In previous studies, we demonstrated that the T1 slope (T1s) is associated with clinical outcomes, but the results were not specific for individuals.

Management of Pediatric and Adolescent Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Chest Wall: An Expert Consensus Opinion From the International Soft Tissue Sarcoma Consortium (INSTRuCT)

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The International Soft‐Tissue Sarcoma Consortium (INSTRuCT) was established as a global partnership among various pediatric soft tissue sarcoma groups, including the Children's Oncology Group (COG), European Pediatric Soft Tissue Sarcoma Group (EpSSG), and Cooperative Weichteilsarkom Studiengruppe (CWS). One of INSTRuCT's primary objectives is

Validation of the concavity–convexity quotient as a new method to measure the magnitude of scoliosis

Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine, 2020
Objectives: We propose a novel and simple method to determine the magnitude of the curve in scoliosis and its correlation with the Cobb angle. Methods: Using multiple rounds of nominal group technique and an established consensus-building methodology, a ...

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

Packaging 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.

Cobb Angle Measurement of Spine from X-Ray Images Using Convolutional Neural Network

Comput. Math. Methods Medicine, 2019
Scoliosis is a common spinal condition where the spine curves to the side and thus deforms the spine. Curvature estimation provides a powerful index to evaluate the deformation severity of scoliosis.

Mesoscale dynamics of cyclone Leslie (2018): A diagnostic analysis of a rare Iberian landfall

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study presents a successful numerical simulation of cyclone Leslie (2018), using WRF‐ARW v4.5.1. Several mesoscale dynamics were identified indicative of the occurrence of sting jet and cold conveyor belt, which potentiated the record‐breaking winds in central Portugal.

High methylation of lysine acetyltransferase 6B is associated with the Cobb angle in patients with congenital scoliosis

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2020
Background The etiology of congenital scoliosis (CS) is complex and uncertain. Abnormal DNA methylation affects the growth and development of spinal development. In this study, we investigated the role of DNA methylation in CS.

Accounting for Friendlessness: Stigma and the Quest for an Honorable Self

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
How do people who identify as friendless make sense of their condition in a moment when friendship is extolled for the support and satisfaction it offers? This article draws on interviews with 21 adults in an Atlantic Canadian city. We argue that our interviewees were rarely at ease with their friendlessness and were at pains to recover an honorable ...

Factors and predictive model associated with perioperative complications after long fusion in the treatment of adult non-degenerative scoliosis

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021
Introduction Adult non-degenerative scoliosis accounts for 90% of spinal deformities in young adults. However, perioperative complications and related risk factors of long posterior instrumentation and fusion for the treatment of adult non-degenerative ...
