Article Synopsis
  • The study conducted a prospective cohort analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of the cervical rotation lateral flexion (CRLF) test for predicting improvements in neck pain after manipulative treatment on the first and second ribs.
  • A total of 50 participants underwent the CRLF test and subsequent manipulation, with clinical improvements measured via the Neck Disability Index one week post-treatment.
  • Results indicated that the CRLF test was not predictive of improvement, but factors like being male, older age, and specific restricted end-feel showed a correlation with better outcomes.

Purpose: To analyse the influence of CT-based depth correction in the assessment of split renal function in potential living kidney donors.

Methods: In 116 consecutive living kidney donors preoperative split renal function was assessed using the CT-based depth correction. Influence on donor side selection and postoperative renal function of the living kidney donors were analyzed.

We introduce the power collection method for easily deriving connection relations for certain hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in the (-)Askey scheme. We summarize the full-extent to which the power collection method may be used. As an example, we use the power collection method to derive connection and connection-type relations for Meixner and Krawtchouk polynomials.

Background: Accurate assessment of pre-transplant split renal function in candidates for living kidney donation is indispensable for side-selection and a sufficient long-term residual renal function.

Objective: To analyse the need of depth correction in the assessment of split renal function in potential living kidney donors.

Methods: In 13 consecutive patients screened for living kidney donation split renal function was measured with four different methods including conventional posterior MAG-3-scintigraphy, the geometric mean method in MAG-3-scintigraphy, MAG-3-scintigraphy with CT-based depth correction and CT-volumetry.
