: The Sforzesco brace is a very rigid push-up brace effective in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). We recently developed a new Sforzesco brace based on modularity (the Modular Italian brace-MI brace) that could allow standardization, facilitating global expertise diffusion, increased modifiability and adaptability, and cost savings due to longer brace life. We aimed to compare the short-term results of the two braces.

- * A systematic review found that brace-wearing compliance varied widely and that using wearable sensors can effectively track actual wearing times and improve adherence when combined with interventions such as counseling and education.
- * The study suggests that while current compliance rates average around 58.8%, targeted interventions can boost adherence significantly, indicating a need for more high-quality research on this topic.
Background: Pathogenic variants in the dynamin 1 like gene are related to abnormal mitochondrial dynamics and distributions and are associated to variable clinical phenotypes. A few patients harboring the p.Arg403Cys missense variant appears to be different from the classical, more severe phenotypes, showing sudden onset of drug resistant seizures after a previously normal or slightly delayed development.
