Scheuermann’s disease (juvenile kyphosis dorsalis) is a structural kyphosis of the thoracic spine initially described by Scheuermann in 1921. It occurs commonly in adolescents (0.4-8.3% of the general population). It is characterized by irregularities of the vertebral end plates, the presence of Schmorl’s nodes, disk-space narrowing, and vertebral wedging. Scheuermann’s disease is rarely associ...

Methods We retrospectively observed 13 patients with the diagnosis of LS. 7 of them needed bracing because of lumbar kyphosis, while the others were treated only with physical exercises to control pain and prevent deformity. All patients treated with bracing (3 males and 4 females, average age 13.5 years) presented at first observation with back pain, lumbar kyphosis, and a radiographic image o...

Abstract Conventional radiographs and CT are primary investigations in spinal trauma. However MRI is the technique assessment of degenerative inflammatory disorders. There occasions when conventional radiographs, bone scintigraphy assist diagnosis A detailed understanding anatomy spine dynamic function essential interpretation imaging. Degenerative disorders including disc disease sometimes res...

STUDY DESIGN Cohort study. OBJECTIVE To analyze long-term clinical and radiological outcomes of surgically treated Scheuermann patients. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Long-term clinical and radiological outcomes of surgery for Scheuermann kyphosis are unknown. A single-center cohort of 33 consecutive, surgically treated (between 1991 and 1998) Scheuermann patients was studied. METHODS Clinic...

A n~ultistep transmultiplexer approach with a single-way modulation scheme applying minimum phase wave digital directional or transversal filters is proposed. Furthermore, the impact of signaling, pilots, and spectral shaping at the PCM end is investigated. The results of a filter design based on wave digital filters is given. The main merits of this approach are, at a moderate level of computa...
