Introduction: In asymptomatic subjects, variations of sagittal alignment parameters according to age and pelvic incidence (PI) has been reported. The aim of this observational study was to describe thoraco-lumbar sagittal alignment in patients with degenerative scoliosis and to compare them to asymptomatic individuals, seeking for the specific effect of deformity in similar age and PI groups.

Materials And Methods: Full spine radiographs of 235 asymptomatic subjects and 243 scoliosis patients were analyzed: cervico-thoracic inflexion point (CTIP), thoraco-lumbar inflexion point (TLIP), lumbar lordosis (LL) L1-S1, LL (TLIP-S1), LL superior arch (TLIP-lumbar apex), LL inferior arch (lumbar apex-S1), PI, thoracic kyphosis (TK) T5-T12, TK T1-T12, number of vertebrae CTIP-TLIPandTLIP-S1.

Objective: Tafamidis has shown potential in slowing disease progression in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). This study aimed to evaluate serial changes on [Tc]Tc-pyrophosphate (PYP) scintigraphy during tafamidis treatment for hereditary ATTR-CM.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a prospectively collected cohort of Ala97Ser (A97S) hereditary ATTR-CM patients treated with tafamidis (61 mg/day) and a control group comprising A97S hereditary ATTR-CM patients who had not received disease-modifying medications.

Purpose: The etiology of early-onset scoliosis (EOS) has been shown to significantly influence baseline parent-reported health-related quality of life (HrQOL). In combining these etiology groups, we obligatorily lump together many disparate diagnoses, particularly true in the neuromuscular (NM) cohort. We sought to evaluate the influence of underlying neuromuscular diagnosis on the HrQOL at 5 years following surgery for EOS.
