Disease relevance of Scoliosis

  • Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4C (CMT4C) is a childhood-onset demyelinating form of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy associated with an early-onset scoliosis and a distinct Schwann cell pathology [1].
  • The identification of the ky gene will allow detailed analysis of the impact of primary myopathy on idiopathic scoliosis in mice and man [2].
  • Other features that are more variable in expressivity include dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, scoliosis, developmental delay and pulmonary and urological dysfunctions [3].
  • Associated symptoms, such as muscle wasting, sensory disturbances, foot deformity, scoliosis and electrocardiographic abnormalities were encountered less frequently in EOCA than in FA patients [4].
  • Unlike COPD, pulmonary function following ARF in kyphosis or scoliosis deteriorates at a slower than expected rate and, in fact, may improve with treatment over many years [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on Scoliosis

  • We report on an individual with severe mental retardation, seizures, microcephaly, unusual face, scoliosis, and cleft feet and cleft right hand [6].
  • We recently had an opportunity to study the status of bone remodeling by quantitative bone histomorphometry in three girls ages 9.75, 13.5, and 14 years, with typical Rett syndrome who required scoliosis surgery.Anterior iliac crest bone biopsies were performed 1-2 days after double labeling of the bone surfaces with tetracycline [7].
 

High impact information on Scoliosis

  • The aims were to examine the effects of scoliosis (angle), and age on lung volumes, elastic properties of the respiratory system, and the ventilatory response to CO2 [8].
  • In the A-T families, idiopathic scoliosis and vertebral anomalies were in excess, while genitourinary and distal limb malformations were found in the FA families [9].
  • Sim2 mutants also develop congenital scoliosis, reflected by the unequal sizes of the left and right vertebrae and ribs [10].
  • RESULTS: Mild scoliosis was noticed in the proband at the age of 6 years, and at the age of 7 years large Schmorl's nodes were found in the vertebrae L1-2 [11].
  • There was no significant association between BMD and scoliosis, nor between BMD and fracture history [12].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Scoliosis

  • These results confirm our previous observations in rats, and also support our hypothesis that melatonin as well as the bipedal ambulation appear to play a critical pathogenic role in scoliosis in experimental mammals [13].
  • The authors hypothesized that administration of tranexamic acid would reduce bleeding and transfusion requirements during scoliosis surgery [14].
  • The typical scoliosis condition associated with severe vitamin C deficiency in fish occurred in the nonsupplemented groups in the study with practical diets [15].
  • Proceedings: Selective denervation in the treatment of paralytic scoliosis based on electromyographic studies of erector spinae and quadratus lumborum [16].
  • The severity of the scoliosis was closely related to a decrease in extracellular striatal dopamine measured with microdialysis and to the development of postsynaptic dopamine receptor supersensitivity, functionally evaluated with rotational behaviour elicited with apomorphine [17].
