New horizons for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis treatment through PosturalSpine D'Amanti Method.

The aim of the study is to compare improvement outcomes in patients (aged between 8 and 18 years old) with idiopathic scoliosis treated with a traditional technique with those treated with an innovative method. The study included 17 participants allocated into two groups: experimental (n = 8) and control (n = 9) groups. The first group was treated with a new method with PosturalSpine® D'Amanti method, twice a week for 30 min per session while the second group was treated with kinesitherapy and traditional tools three times week for 45 min per session.

SNMMI PIC case competition finalist: Subcutaneous Panniculitis-Like T-Cell Lymphoma on 18F-FDG PET/CT.

A 9-month-old girl was evaluated for recurrent fevers, rash, and indurated plaques, with laboratories demonstrating hyperferritinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and pancytopenia, concerning for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Biopsy of thigh lesion ultimately demonstrated subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma. In a rare neoplasm of cytotoxic T-cells, subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma presents with subcutaneous nodules in all age groups including children.

Io's tidal response precludes a shallow magma ocean.

Io experiences tidal deformation as a result of its eccentric orbit around Jupiter, which provides a primary energy source for Io's continuing volcanic activity and infrared emission. The amount of tidal energy dissipated within Io is enormous and has been suggested to support the large-scale melting of its interior and the formation of a global subsurface magma ocean. If Io has a shallow global magma ocean, its tidal deformation would be much larger than in the case of a more rigid, mostly solid interior.

A multi-comprehensive approach to assess the responses of the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1919) to a simulation of a diesel-oil mixture spill.

Oil spills are a major cause of pollution impacting marine ecosystems. In this work, the effects of short-term exposure to three different concentrations of a hydrocarbon mixture (HC), that simulated the action of such an event, were investigated on Mytilus galloprovincialis specimens. Physiological effects were measured using a battery of biomarkers consisting of cellular activity (phagocytosis), immune-related enzymes, chaperonins (HSP70 and HSC70), and histomorphological alterations.

Effects of different swimming styles on postural assessment in mid-level young swimmers.

It is well-known that swimming purposes to increase the tonic-postural control. Beyond its physiological advantages, swimming also offers an exclusive platform to explore the complex interplay between body biomechanics and posture. The specific aim of this study was to investigate the effects of main swimming styles on postural balance in young athletes.
