All of the children, who initially had no scoliosis while still skeletally immature (Risser stages 0 and 1), were followed at 2-year intervals until they reached skeletal maturity (Risser stages 3 to 5). We assessed the segment of the spine that has previously been shown to be rotationally...
Rigidity usually isn’t a prominent symptom in the earliest stages of Parkinson’s. However, virtually all patients will experience some rigidity as the disease progresses. Rigidity typically affects just one side of the body at first, then it can spread to other areas over time....
The aim of treating children with early onset scoliosis is to guide the growth of the spine until the patients reach skeletal maturity. Regardless of its aetiology, progressive early-onset scoliosis requires multiple-stage surgery, usually at 6 to 12 months' intervals. However, precise coordination...
Calcite concretions were identified in 43% of the remains, and the lower stages of water dissolution were present in 44% of the NR. On the other hand, manganese staining and bacterial activity are less represented, with 1% and 6% of the NR. The skeletal remains of the GS individual have ...
Deformities started from 8 to 13 DAH, when the percentage of deformed larvae rose from approximately 5% to 40%. At 15 DAH, skeletal malformations had frequencies up to 80% of the observed larvae. Serious malformations such as kyphosis, scoliosis and lordosis were observed at 18 DAH but seldom...
In the context of global change, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of temperature on the survival rate and various variables (development time, morphometric measures, energy values) for both embryos and post-hatch stages until first fo
The 10th thoracic vertebra exhibits another distinctive feature: here, a "deformation" of the vertebral body with a lateral inclination of the processus spinosus indicates slight scoliosis, which is also evident in the adjacent vertebrae. A squatting facet is visible at the left distal end of ...
In this study, the biologic effects of DES on the early life and adult life stages of Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) were evaluated. At the early life stage, the fertilized eggs were exposed to 1-1000u00a0ng/L diethylstilbestrol (DES) for 15u00a0days and the hatched larvae were ...
Rodrigo Arrué1, José Leonardo Gutiérrez2, Marcela Torrejón2, Carlos Farkas3* and Teresa Caprile1* Abstract Background The significant role of embryonic cerebrospinal fluid (eCSF) in the initial stages of brain development has been thoroughly studied. ...
Loss of MTMR5, the closest homologue of MTMR13, causes a defect in late stages of spermatogenesis (Firestein et al. 2002). Mutations of MTM1, a close homologue of MTMR2, lead to myotubular myopathy (Laporte et al. 1996), a phenotype unrelated to demyelinating CMT. Thus, while loss-of...
