Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 38 pediatric patients with congenital cervical scoliosis (CCS) over a minimum follow-up of two years to identify risk factors for curve progression and how cervical curves relate to thoracic and lumbar compensatory curves.
- 42% of patients showed curve progression, with a notable correlation between a high T1 slope and the worsening of cervical deformities.
- The research found significant relationships between cervical and lumbar curve magnitudes, but not between cervical and thoracic curves, suggesting greater lumbar flexibility may influence compensatory adjustments.
Background: Vertebral body tethering (VBT) requires a thoracoscopic approach to visualize the vertebral bodies. Lung collapse and re-expansion have the potential to cause acute lung injury, resulting in increased oxygen and ventilation requirements.
Aims: We compared the intraoperative ventilator management, intra- and postoperative blood gas determinations, and hospital stay information between adolescents undergoing unilateral versus bilateral lung isolation for vertebral body tethering.
Gustatory cortical (GC) single-neuron taste responses reflect taste quality and palatability in successive epochs. Ensemble analyses reveal epoch-to-epoch firing-rate changes in these responses to be sudden, coherent transitions. Such nonlinear dynamics suggest that GC is part of a recurrent network, producing these dynamics in concert with other structures.
