Objective: Hypoglycemia is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease including cardiac arrhythmias. We investigated the effect of hypoglycemia in the setting of acute glycemic fluctuations on cardiac rhythm and cardiac repolarization in insulin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes compared with matched controls without diabetes.
Design: A non-randomized, mechanistic intervention study.
Article Synopsis
- A study on 62 patients with neuromuscular spinal deformities demonstrated effective spinal correction through a technique involving spinopelvic fixation using iliosacral screws.
- Pelvic obliquity and angular parameters were measured, revealing various types of spinal curves, with an average patient age of 15.2 years.
- Despite a high incidence of infectious complications, the technique showed significant improvement in spinal correction and stability, especially for patients with pre-existing pelvic imbalances.
Introduction: Traumatic transepiphyseal separation of the upper femoral epiphysis is a rare lesion of the hip in children.
Case Report: We report a case of conservative treatment of transepiphyseal separation of the upper femoral epiphysis following tonic/clonic seizures in a 5-month-old child. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the diagnosis The fracture was maintained with hip spica cast for 6 weeks.
Purpose: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) quantification of the rotation of the spinal cord in patients with thoracic idiopathic scoliosis could also be used to detect different spinal cord rotational patterns.
Methods: Ten patients with a thoracic or thoracolumbar scoliosis had axial T2-weighted MRI. The rotation of the spinal cord and vertebra were measured.
In severe forms of osteogenesis imperfecta, multiple compression fractures of the spine, as well as vertebral height shortening could be responsible for an increased thoracic kyphosis or a diminished lumbar lordosis. Theses progressive changes in sagittal shapes of the trunk could be responsible for a global sagittal trunk imbalance. We compare the parameters of sagittal spinopelvic balance in young patients with OI to those parameters in a control group of healthy volunteers.
