Background: Patients with scoliosis often require multiple imaging modalities. The aim of this study was to find out whether primary diagnosis, including surgical planning, could be carried out entirely without computed tomography (CT) scans and whether follow-up could be replaced with alternative methods without the use of X-rays. In order to reduce the radiation exposure in the diagnosis and treatment of severe scoliosis, we expect to replace X-rays with radiation-free or less-intensive radiation examinations.

- - This study explored how brace therapy alongside Schroth therapy affects plantar pressure distribution in adolescents with moderate idiopathic scoliosis during a four-week inpatient rehabilitation.
- - Twenty patients, aged 12-16, had their plantar pressure measured before and after the treatment, revealing significant changes mostly on the right side after therapy.
- - The results suggest that the combined therapy helps maintain symmetry in plantar pressure distribution, indicating its effectiveness in rehabilitation for scoliosis patients.
Objective: This study investigates if an inpatient rehabilitation therapy (brace therapy and Schroth therapy) for six weeks contributes to an improvement in lung function of the patients.
Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: Scoliosis rehabilitation clinic "Asklepios Katharina-Schroth-Klinik" (Bad Sobernheim, Germany).
Objective: There has not been a theoretical test run in Germany that compares different navigation systems with an industry solution (MapTrip112). The aim of this study was to compare navigation systems to elucidate whether the emergency response time (ERT) was reduced and, consequently, whether the adherence to the travel time improved.
Design: Prospective, simulation study, cross-sectional study.
Background: A good physician should be empathic and altruistic, among other qualities. Therefore, the levels of socially undesirable personality traits (Dark Triad) as well as implicit motives of achievement, affiliation and power (Multi-Motive Grid) among medical students as future physicians were analyzed at two different points in their medical training.
Methods: This study includes 380 medical students in their first year and 217 in their third year in Germany.
