The purpose of this article is to provide the pediatrician with a thorough review of the variety of osteochondroses that affect children and adolescents. These conditions present in all different parts of the body in a wide range of patients: from the sedentary to athletic, the toddler to the pre-teen.The osteochondroses often are self-limiting and resolve with nonoperative management, but there are a few circumstances when operative treatment may be required. Recent literature confirms the heterogeneity of these conditions with respect to the clinical presentations and musculoskeletal manifestations.We think this article will heighten awareness of these disorders in the pediatric community, so that prompt intervention may be rendered.

Unlabelled: One of the most probable and controversial hypotheses regarding the etiology of essential arterial hypertension, is the increase in arterial pressure due to intracranial ischemia, for various reasons, particularly because of cervical osteochondrosis. The daily arterial blood pressure dynamics is of interest when attempting non-pharmacological induced correction of arterial pressure by manual and physical effects on the cervical spine.
Objective: To evaluate daily arterial pressure dynamics in patients with essential arterial hypertension who received non-pharmacological treatment by manual-physical action on the cervical spine (A.

Unlabelled: Essential arterial hypertension (EAH) is a chronic non-communicable disease (CNCD), that develops in parallel with other pathologies of the CNCD group, the presence of which is promoted by hypodynamia with consequent disturbance of aerobic energy supply processes. These disorders include, in particular, degenerative-dystrophic processes of the locomotor system, comprising of the cervical spine. In turn, development of these processes can additionally worsen hemodynamics with disturbance of the oxygen transfer processes.

In the early 20 century, the term «selfish brain» appeared in scientific literature, around which theory was formed, finding its proof in the work of doctors and scientists. The basic principle of the theory is that the superior hierarchy of the brain, whose needs are prioritized, results in the primary satisfaction of one's own needs, often to the detriment of the functioning of other organs and systems. The origins of the theory of «selfish brain», according to researchers, lie in the work of neurosurgery pioneer Harvey Cushing, who discovered a reflex named after him and consisting in increasing arterial pressure at high intracranial pressure.

Article Synopsis
- * A retrospective CT scan study on 324 dogs found that 21% had presumed EPJF and another 21% had annulus fibrosus rupture (AFF), which were often located at the last lumbar vertebra’s caudal endplate.
- * The study indicates that EPJF is linked to more severe IVDH grades and factors like age and certain spinal conditions, suggesting a need for further research to clarify its clinical significance and relationship to other spinal issues.

Article Synopsis
- - Articular cartilage in horses can be effectively imaged using ultrasonography, especially in cases of osteochondrosis, which affects common areas like the fetlock.
- - A study measuring cartilage thickness in young horses found that ultrasonography had better accuracy compared to computed tomographic arthrography (CTA), with the best results at the distal sagittal ridge of the third metacarpal bone.
- - While there was overall weak agreement between ultrasonography and histology, the findings indicated that cartilage thickness decreases with age, emphasizing the usefulness of ultrasonography for assessing cartilage in young horses.
