Background: Scoliosis causes changes in the thorax, but it is unclear what type of changes occur in the thoracic profile after scoliosis surgery.
Objective: To investigate changes in rib cage deviation in the postoperative period after adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery.
Methods: Forty-four patients with AIS with a main right thoracic curvature underwent posterior surgical fusion (PSF), and radiological parameters of the spine and thorax were evaluated.
Article Synopsis
- Realgar, traditionally used in Chinese medicine for anticancer treatment, is not water-soluble, requiring high doses that can lead to adverse effects.
- This study aimed to enhance the solubility of Realgar using hydrometallurgy technology and assess its effects on cancer cell growth and death in laboratory models.
- Results showed that a new Realgar Bioleaching Solution (RBS) effectively inhibited tumor growth and induced cell death in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting it could be a safer alternative for cancer therapy.
