Scheuermann's Kyphosis (SK) is a rigid spinal kyphosis. Several theories have been proposed concerning its pathogenesis, but it is, to this day, still unknown. It has a prevalence of 0.4-8.3% in the population with a higher incidence in females. Clinical examination with x-rays is needed to differentiate and confirm this diagnosis. Non-surgical management is reserved for smaller deformities and in skeletally immature patients, whereas surgery is recommended for higher deformities. Combined anterior and posterior approach was considered the gold standard for the surgical treatment of this disease, but there is an increasing trend toward posterior-only approaches especially with use of segmental fixation. This study reviews the pathophysiology of SK while proposing a treatment algorithm for its management.

Purpose: The aim was to assess the clinical outcomes after posterior spinal fusion (PSF) in patients with Scheuermann's disease (SD).
Methods: SD undergoing PSF were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical outcome was determined using SRS-22- and Eq.

Background: Patient engagement (PE) in clinical trials has gained importance yet remains uncommon, particularly in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a critical precursor to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cannabidiol (CBD) shows potential in slowing MCI progression due to its neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties. In CBD research, PE is underutilized too.

From the Department of Visceral, Transplant, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery, Division of Hepatobiliary Surgery and Visceral Transplant Surgery, University Clinic Leipzig, Germany.
Objective: This study explored the novel application of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) for in vivo allograft perfusion assessment during liver transplantation (LT) and its potential value for predicting early allograft dysfunction (EAD), graft, and overall survival (OS).
Background: LT is a well-established therapy for acute and chronic liver diseases, with excellent outcomes. However, a significant proportion of recipients experience EAD, which affects graft and OS.
