This study aimed to explore the characteristics of changes in the sagittal arrangement of the spine between adolescent patients with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and normal adolescents, the risk factors for AIS and the factors affecting the progress of AIS.X-ray images of the full length of the spine in standing position were taken in AIS patients and normal adolescents. Radiographic measurements made at intermediate follow-up included the following:C1 and C2 cervical lordosis and C2 - C7 curvature of cervical lordosis, C2-C7sagittal horizontal distance (C2-C7SagittalVerticalAxis, C2-C7SVA), TS-CL, after thoracic lobe (Thoracic Kyphosis, TK), thoracic lumbar segment Angle (thoracolumbar kyphosis, [TLK]), lumbar lordosis Angle (Lumbar Lordosis, LL), sacral slope Angle (Sacrum Slope, SS), pelvic tilt Angle (Pelvic Tilt, PT), pelvic incidence (PI), L5 Incidence (Lumbar5 Slope (L5S), L5 incidence (Lumbar5 Incidence (L5I), sagittal horizontal distance (CSVA), lower depression Angle of the 2nd cervical spine. The difference of sagittal plane parameters between AIS group and normal adolescent group was compared. To evaluate the progress of AIS, correlation analysis was conducted between diagonal 2 and other parameters. The main risk factors of AIS were determined by binary Logistic analysis.The CSVA of AIS patients was higher than that of healthy adolescents (AIS: 27.64 ± 19.56) mm. Healthy adolescents: (17.74 ± 12.8) mm), L5S (AIS: 19.93°= 7.07° and healthy adolescents: 15.38°= 7.78°, P = .024 < .05), C2 downward sag Angle (AIS: 15.12°= 2.7°;Healthy adolescents: 12.97°= 4.56°); AIS patients had lower TS-CL (AIS: 22.48 ± 6.09 and healthy adolescents: 28.26°= 10.32°), PT (AIS: 10.42°= 4.53° and healthy adolescents: 15.80°=7.68°), (AIS: 41.87°=9.72° and healthy adolescents: 48.75°= 8.22°). The main risk factor for idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents was L5 (OR = 1.239, 95%CI = 1.049-1.463, P = .012 < .05).L5S is a major risk factor for idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents. The larger PI is, the higher the risk of scoliosis progression is. In AIS patients, lumbar lordosis is increased, cervical lordosis is reduced, and even cervical kyphosis occurs.

Exploration of cognitive flexibility and emotion recognition in adolescents with eating disorders.
J Int Neuropsychol Soc
January 2025
Department of Psychiatry, Ankara University, Ankara, Turkey.
Objectives: This study compared cognitive flexibility (CF) and emotion recognition (ER) in adolescents with eating disorders (ED) to a healthy group.
Methods: Forty healthy individuals aged 12-18 years with no psychiatric diagnosis and 46 patients diagnosed with anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), or binge eating disorder (BED) according to DSM-5 criteria participated. CF was assessed using the Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS), Stroop Test, and Berg Card Sorting Test (BCST), while ER was evaluated using the test of perception of affect via nonverbal cues.
Association between early dietary patterns and cardiometabolic health at age 8: a confirmatory analysis of the European Childhood Obesity Project.

Background & Aim: Metabolic and cardiovascular health outcomes are strongly influenced by diet. Dietary habits established in early childhood may persist into adulthood. This study aimed to examine the association between dietary patterns at both 2 and 8 years of age, explaining the maximum variability of high- and low-quality fats, sugars, and fibre, and cardiometabolic markers at age 8 years.

Purpose: Given the potential role of nasolacrimal duct (NLD) morphometry in the aetiology of primary acquired obstructions, it is imperative that clinicians have access to detailed anatomical information. The aim of this study was to determine normative data on nasolacrimal duct morphometry in the Turkish population sample and to provide guidelines for clinicians.
Methods: The study included retrospectively computed tomography images of a healthy Turkish population sample of 151 individuals, 79 of whom were female and 72 of whom were male.

A comprehensive understanding of the evolution of the immune landscape in humans across the entire lifespan at single-cell transcriptional and protein levels, during development, maturation and senescence is currently lacking. We recruited a total of 220 healthy volunteers from the Shanghai Pudong Cohort (NCT05206643), spanning 13 age groups from 0 to over 90 years, and profiled their peripheral immune cells through single-cell RNA-sequencing coupled with single T cell and B cell receptor sequencing, high-throughput mass cytometry, bulk RNA-sequencing and flow cytometry validation experiments. We revealed that T cells were the most strongly affected by age and experienced the most intensive rewiring in cell-cell interactions during specific age.
