The aim of the present study was to detect atypical Scheuermann's disease through computed tomography scans and estimate its prevalence. This cross-sectional observational study involved 1,287 computed tomography scans from patients aged 18 to 40 years of both genders. The criteria for diagnosing atypical Scheuermann's disease included wedging of 5° in 3 consecutive vertebrae, combined with a total Cobb angle of 10° or more within the thoracolumbar interval from T8 to L2.

To evaluate the correlation between a radiographic scale of lumbar degenerative disease and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). A cross-sectional study in which the ODI quality of life questionnaire and the radiographic parameters for the classification of lumbar degenerative disease into different grades were compared to try to establish a relationship between them. The relationship between the radiographic parameters and quality of life indicators does not behave homogeneously, considering the different grades of the lumbar grading scale.

- Physical vapor deposition creates organic glasses with high kinetic stability, which can slowly transition to supercooled liquids when heated.
- The study investigates the rejuvenation of vapor-deposited methyl-m-toluate glasses after 6 hours of annealing at a temperature close to their glass transition temperature (Tg), finding moderate glasses show rejuvenation, while highly stable glasses do not show expected changes.
- Surprisingly, annealing lead to increased storage component of dielectric susceptibility in stable glasses without increases in the loss component, indicating short-term rejuvenation affects high-frequency relaxation processes; simulations showed no rejuvenation in similarly stable glasses within the same time frame.
Gestational breast cancer: distinctive molecular and clinico-epidemiological features.
J Mammary Gland Biol Neoplasia
November 2024
Gestational breast cancer (GBC), defined as breast cancer (BC) diagnosed during pregnancy or the first-year post-partum, accounts for 6-15% of BC cases in women aged 20-44 years. GBC has worse prognosis than non-GBC, but reasons behind are not clear. The GEICAM/2012-03 Study (Molecular Characterization of Gestational Breast Cancer) is a multicenter prospective/retrospective observational registry of patients diagnosed with GBC.

Objective: This study aims to describe a kinematic gait assessment protocol and identify its main alterations in individuals with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) compared to healthy patients.
Methods: In total, 14 patients diagnosed with CSM were enrolled and submitted to a three-dimensional gait analysis. The movement of patients was captured with infrared emission cameras that identified tracking markers placed on the lower limbs.
