Idiopathic infantile asymmetry, proposal of a measurement scale
2004
Abstract To evaluate the development of idiopathic infantile asymmetry and the efficacy of therapeutic interventions, spinal scoliosis can be quantified on the basis of radiographs. For obvious reasons, use of this technique is limited. Here we present a clinical method to describe and quantify infantile asymmetry. For item selection, spontaneous movements (SMs), reactive movements (RMs) and length differences were video recorded in 30 infants (median age 10 weeks, range 6–16) with variable degrees of asymmetry. Within these three categories, reactive movements elicited by head turns to the right and left side in the prone and supine position emerged as reliable parameters reflecting trunk …
Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome 2 with cerebellar abnormality and neural tube defect
2019
Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS) is a rare dominant disorder with intellectual disability, postnatal growth deficiency, and multiple congenital anomalies. Approximately 50-70% of the patients have a mutation in the CREBBP gene (RSTS1) and 5-10% display an EP300 gene mutation (RSTS2). Craniospinal abnormalities such as microcranium, scoliosis, and lordosis are frequent findings in RSTS1, but malformations of the brain or spinal cord are seen only occasionally. Here, we report on a 3-year-old boy with facial abnormalities of RSTS, broad thumbs and halluces, developmental delay, autistic features, cerebellar underdevelopment, and a neural tube defect. Molecular diagnostic of the CREBBP and EP3…
Dental treatment of Marfan syndrome. With regard to a case.
2010
Marfan syndrome is the most common dominant autosomic genetic disorder of the connective tissue. It has a reported incidence of 1 per each 5000 individuals without any distinction of gender or ethnicity. This pathology?s diagnosis is mainly based on physical characteristics, presenting three main different symptomatic charts: neonatal Marfan, infant Marfan and classical Marfan. The mayor characteristic of these patients consists of an exaggerated length of the upper and lower limbs, hyperlaxity, scoliosis, alterations in the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems and atypical bone overgrowth. The individual implied in the present investigation concerned to a 14 year old male patient presentin…
Mehrsegmentale Fusion der Skoliose bei Duchenne-Muskeldystrophie
2008
Operations in scoliosis in patients suffering from an advanced stage of Duchenne muscular dystrophy are associated with a higher risk due to the extent of the curves, the respiratory insufficiency and frequent cardiomyopathia. Progressive scolioses in 20 wheelchair patients with an age between 10.5-18.3 years (mean 14.6 years) were treated by CDI. The mean preoperative angle in this group was 70.6 degrees, the postoperative angle 31.2 degrees (mean correction 39.4 degrees or 55.8%). The preoperative lordosis of the lumbar spine (mean angle 4.1 degrees) was corrected to 17.8 degrees postoperatively. The average intraoperative blood loss (2300 ccm) was evident more compared with idiopathic sc…
Analysis of the conflicts of interest disclosed by the program reviewers of the scoliosis research society (SRS) congresses, 2010-2014.
2018
Background Conflicts of interest (COI) between industry and surgeons frequently introduce biases into surgical research. The abstracts submitted for presentation in scientific congresses are usually vetted for any indication of commercial bias. Members of review program committees regularly have recognized qualifications, and therefore certain COI are unavoidable. This study aims to determine the prevalence and magnitude of possible COI among those responsible for the selection of presentations at two important international conferences on spine surgery during a five-year period. Methodology COI declarations by those responsible for the final programs of the annual SRS (Scoliosis Research S…
La expansión geográfica de la renta del tabaco
2007
El monopolio real del tabaco fue decretado sólo para la Corona de Castilla en 1636. Debido a su reconocida eficacia, los gobernantes españoles intentaron implantarlo allá donde fuese políticamente posible. Después de la guerra de Sucesión, fue establecido en la Corona de Aragón, ya que estos territorios perdieron entonces su régimen foral de autonomía. Como las provincias vascas y Navarra consiguieron conservar su régimen foral, el Gobierno español no pudo someter allí el régimen general del estanco tabaquero y tuvo que contentarse con negociar soluciones que no perjudicasen al estanco general. Finalmente, en el contexto de las reformas borbónicas en América, la Renta del Tabaco fue gradual…

Presacral Myelolipoma
2014
Many reports have described adrenal myelolipomas but there have been only a few reports of extra-adrenal myelolipomas. We describe a 74-year-old woman who came to our observation for MRI of the lumbar spine for typical lumbar back pain. In addition to signs of mild scoliosis and spondylo disc arthrosis, MR imaging revealed a presacral mass showing a heterogeneously high signal in all pulse sequences and almost completely suppressed on inversion recovery sequences for fat tissue. CT imaging confirmed the fatty nature of the lesion and no signs of bone involvement. These findings were most consistent with a diagnosis of a rare presacral myelolipoma as confirmed at histopathologic analysis. T…
