STUDY DESIGN This is a retrospective, consecutive case series, with the index patient included. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the evolution and effectiveness of instrumentation techniques designed to untwist the scoliosis deformity. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Three-dimensional studies of the idiopathic scoliosis deformity are consistent with the theory that the deformity or deformities evolve as a...

seven caspian miniature horses, aged above two years, were used for this study. the skeleton of these horses were cleaned and prepared using appropriate techniques. the vertebral column was studied and photographed. the vertebral column in one of these horses showed variations in thoracic, lumbar and sacral region. the vertebral formola was c7, t19,l5,s6 and a pair of 19th rib was fused with th...

Materials and methods Twenty-eight consecutive pre-menarchial girls aged 10 to 14 years (mean 12.6 ± 1.1 years) started a treatment plan for thoracic idiopathic scoliosis, having radiological proof of progression. Eighteen of them had an additional structural lumbar curvature. The Cobb angle revealed a magnitude of 21.0° to 40.0° (mean 30.8° ± 5.5°) in the thoracic curvature and 17.0° to 40.0° ...

Material and methods Twenty-five female patients with ASD (mean age 64.3 years) who underwent fusion surgery were included for analysis. Diagnosis was lumbar scoliosis in 10 patients, kyphoscoliosis in 11, and kyphosis in 4. Radiographic measurement of spinal alignment and CSA of lumbar trunk muscles including psoas major and lumbar extensor muscles measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) ...

Aim: The current study aimed to evaluate the late-term results of patients operated for lumbar spine fractures in our clinic. 
 Material and Method: 134 from January 2012 2020 were treated with “short-segment pedicle instrumentation” neurosurgery department. Patients a burst fracture single vertebra included. final sample consisted 67 who followed up over years radiographs before after sur...

PURPOSE To examine the influence of ovariectomy (OVX) on bone turnover and trabecular bone mass at the 3 clinically important skeletal sites in mature cynomolgus monkeys. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six female cynomolgus monkeys, aged 17-21 years, were randomized into 2 groups by the stratified weight: the OVX and sham-operation groups (n = 3 in each group). The experimental period was 16 months. L...

Aim: The merger of the fifth lumbar vertebrae with first sacral is called sacralisation vertebrae. purpose this study, changes in os sacrum were detected, and morphometric measurements made.Materials Methods: Measurements on 30 bones laboratory from Department Anatomy performed using a digital caliper sensitivity 0.01 millimeters (mm). Os taken. Results: In one examined sacrums, it was found th...

Btg1 and Btg2 encode highly homologous proteins that are broadly expressed in different cell lineages, and have been implicated in different types of cancer. Btg1 and Btg2 have been shown to modulate the function of different transcriptional regulators, including Hox and Smad transcription factors. In this study, we examined the in vivo role of the mouse Btg1 and Btg2 genes in specifying the re...
