مستخلص: A recent study conducted at Beijing Sport University aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different exercise interventions on patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 19 studies involving 778 participants. The results showed that the Schroth exercises group and the strength training group had better recovery of the Cobb angle, which measures the curvature of the spine, compared to other groups. The study also found that exercising for less than 60 minutes was effective for Cobb angle rehabilitation, but prolonging exercise time did not improve training effectiveness. The research concluded that 12 weeks of exercise significantly improved the Cobb angle, but prolonged training periods did not have a significant impact. This study provides evidence-based exercise prescriptions for adolescents with scoliosis. [Extracted from the article]

مستخلص: A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Florida explores the use of cefazolin for surgical site infection (SSI) prophylaxis in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery. The study compares the effectiveness of intermittent bolus dosing and continuous infusion dosing of cefazolin. The researchers found that both dosing methods achieved concentrations of cefazolin that exceeded typical minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs), but continuous infusion dosing consistently achieved bactericidal concentrations in subcutaneous and muscle tissues. This study suggests that intraoperative determination of cefazolin tissue concentrations is feasible and provides valuable insights for optimizing SSI prophylaxis in AIS surgery.

مستخلص: A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Airlangga in East Java, Indonesia, examined the impact of spinal fusion surgery on the daily Islamic prayer movements of individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The study found that spinal fusion positively affected the ability of AIS patients to perform their daily Salah movements, range of motion, and overall prayer quality. The researchers suggest that prayer quality assessment should be given extra attention when evaluating Muslim patients with AIS. The study provides valuable insights into the effects of corrective spine surgery on the daily lives of individuals with scoliosis. [Extracted from the article]

مستخلص: A recent study conducted at Yonsei University College of Medicine in Seoul, South Korea, examined the effects of thoracic paravertebral block (PVB) on postoperative pain in children undergoing surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The study randomly assigned 32 children to receive either PVB or no block. The primary outcome was the pain score at rest at 6 hours postoperatively. The study found that while the pain scores at 6 hours were comparable between the control and PVB groups, the control group had significantly higher pain scores at 1 hour postoperatively. The study suggests that further research using different anesthetics is needed to extend the effects of PVB. [Extracted from the article]

مستخلص: Researchers from Yaroslavl State Medical University in Russia have published a report on the use of a 3D German-designed brace to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). AIS is a condition that affects otherwise healthy children aged 10 and older, putting them at high risk for severe deformity and surgery. The study focused on a patient who used the 3D GD brace from the age of 9 to 16 and experienced a significant decrease in spinal curvature, avoiding the need for surgery. The researchers concluded that the 3D GD brace shows promise as a non-surgical treatment option for AIS. [Extracted from the article]

مستخلص: A recent study conducted at Boston Children's Hospital explored the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on surgical outcomes for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The researchers used the Child Opportunity Index (COI) to assess the association between COI and preoperative scoliosis magnitude, age at surgery, and surgical outcomes. The study included 404 patients, and the results showed that patients from low COI backgrounds achieved similar surgical results as those from high COI addresses, with a lower operative time per level fused and decreased postoperative complication risk. However, further research is needed to determine if these findings are consistent across different states and health systems. [Extracted from the article]

مستخلص: A study conducted at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, aimed to investigate the incidence of cervical degenerative disk disease (DDD) in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) before surgical intervention. The study found that increasing cervical kyphosis was significantly correlated with decreasing thoracic kyphosis and increasing major curve magnitude. Additionally, the presence of DDD was observed in 56% of patients with AIS, and more severe cervical kyphosis was associated with more severe cervical DDD. This study is the first to evaluate the association between cervical kyphosis in AIS and cervical DDD. [Extracted from the article]

مستخلص: A recent study conducted by researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong focuses on scoliosis, a spine deformity that is most common in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. The study utilized a deep learning-based prediction model to accurately predict scoliosis progression in AIS patients. The results showed promising accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, which can aid in tailored treatments for potential scoliosis progression. The researchers suggest that addressing over-fitting issues in the model could further enhance its performance. This study represents a significant step towards automated scoliosis diagnosis and prognosis. [Extracted from the article]

مستخلص: A recent report from the Doctoral School of Medicine in Constanta, Romania explores the connection between adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and peripheral vestibular dysfunction. The study, conducted over 12 months on 159 patients, found that patients with peripheral vestibular dysfunction had higher Cobb angle values, indicating a more severe curvature of the spine. The researchers suggest that incorporating sensory integration techniques and vestibular rehabilitation exercises into the treatment plan for scoliosis may be beneficial. Additionally, a positive history of motion sickness may indicate a higher risk of progression in AIS. [Extracted from the article]

مستخلص: A new report discusses research on the surgical treatment of idiopathic scoliosis (IS) using anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT). The study aimed to compare the complication rates of AVBT to the current standard of care, posterior spinal fusion (PSF). The research analyzed data from 171 patients with IS who underwent AVBT and found that 32% of patients experienced complications, with the most common being Grade IIIb. The study concluded that AVBT had a higher rate of complications compared to PSF. This research provides valuable insights into the early learning experience of AVBT as a new technique for treating IS. [Extracted from the article]
