Article Synopsis
- * A 65-year-old male patient presented with symptoms like tongue fasciculations and dysarthria, leading to the discovery of a tumor near his vagus nerve through imaging.
- * Management of skull base paragangliomas varies individually, with the decision made in this case to observe the tumor rather than proceed with immediate treatment.
Objective: The objective was to compare Cobb angle measurements performed using an Oxford Cobbmeter and digital computer software (Surgimap) in a series of 83 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients.
Methods: Two independent observers measured the Cobb angles for 123 curves on 83 consecutive long radiographs of patients with AIS using both Oxford Cobbmeter and digital computer software (Surgimap). The measurements were repeated a week.
Study Design: A retrospective radiographic analysis.
Purpose: The aim of the current study is to assess endplate changes after the use of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages in posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).
Overview Of Literature: A few recent reports had revealed endplate abnormalities due to PEEK cages, which may lead to nonunions.
Purpose: To investigate and compare the surface roughness (SR), weight and height of monolithic zirconia (MZ), ceramometal (CM), lithium disilicate glass ceramic (LD), composite resin (CR), and their antagonistic human teeth enamel.
Materials And Methods: 32 disc shaped specimens for the four test materials (n=8) and 32 premolars were prepared and randomly divided. SR, weight and height of the materials and the antagonist enamel were recorded before and after subjecting the specimens to 240,000 wear-cycles (49 N/0.
Study Design: A prospective radiographic study.
Summary Of Background Data: As the importance of the spinal sagittal profile becomes increasingly evident, there is a need to ensure that the measuring methods used to evaluate thoracic kyphosis (TK) are both accurate and reproducible.
Objective: The purpose of the following study was to determine the intraobserver and interobserver variability of measurements of the sagittal profile in moderate and severe thoracic scoliosis.
