Article Synopsis
- The study examines how overweight and obesity affect lower limb biomechanics in children and adolescents, particularly focusing on hip rotation and gait patterns.
- Researchers analyzed various measurements, including hip rotation and tibial torsion, in 122 participants, finding moderate to small correlations between these measures and body mass index (BMI).
- The results indicate that higher BMI is linked to changes in hip rotation and femoral alignment, highlighting the importance of managing weight in orthopaedic evaluations and treatments for young individuals.
Background: In children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP), ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are widely used to correct common gait deviations such as a drop-foot pattern. Most studies on this topic have investigated specific time points while omitting other parts of the gait cycle.
Objectives: This study investigated the separate effects of prefabricated carbon fiber AFOs and custom-made hinged AFOs compared with barefoot walking in children with USCP with a drop-foot gait pattern using statistical parametric mapping.
Background: Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are a common treatment to correct gait deviations in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP). Studies on the outcome of AFOs on gait often do not account for different gait patterns.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of AFOs on specific gait patterns in children with cerebral palsy.
Background And Purpose: Meningitis and encephalitis are potentially life-threatening diseases that require fast and accurate diagnostics and therapy. The value of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) multiplex testing in clinical practice is still a matter of debate. This study aims to evaluate its benefits and limitations in emergency patients.

A systematic literature search was conducted in EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ISI Web of Knowledge for publications from January 1950 until July 2020. Randomized and observational controlled trials with a minimum number of three participants were included if cardio-pulmonary exercise tests to determine VO2max and HbA1c measurement has been performed.
