Are the Spinal Changes in the Course of Scoliogeny Primary but Secondary?
J Clin Med
April 2024
Chiropractic Center Livingston, 340 E Northfield Rd # 2E, Livingston, NJ 07039, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The article analyzes how growth impacts spinal and rib cage deformities, particularly focusing on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and the role of the rib cage in this condition.
- It discusses the genetics and epigenetics associated with AIS, and a novel field of research exploring how nighttime sleep affects the progression of scoliosis.
- The author argues that changes in vertebral growth during the development of idiopathic scoliosis are secondary effects of uneven loads on the spine, rather than primary issues within the vertebral bodies themselves.
Why Is There Always a Remnant Rib Hump Deformity after Spinal Operations in Idiopathic Scoliosis: Aetiological Implications and Recognition of the Proper Rib Level for Costoplasty.

Article Synopsis
- - The report reviews literature on the postoperative correction of rib hump (RH) following spinal surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), emphasizing the importance of clinical monitoring over initial radiographic results in younger children with rib asymmetry, even if they are not scoliotic.
- - It stresses the significance of using the rib index (RI) derived from spinal radiographs to select the optimal rib level for costoplasty, which is the surgical approach to correct RH, reflecting the necessity for better planning in surgeries.
- - Findings indicate that while spinal surgery improves curvature, RH correction is often insufficient and may worsen over time, particularly in younger patients, due to the primary cause of RH being rib asymmetry rather than spinal rotation; thus

COVID-19 vaccination has been shown to be safe in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but data on vaccine-associated adverse events (AEs) during the antenatal and lactation period are scarce or lacking. We investigated COVID-19 vaccination-related AEs in pregnant SLE patients from the COVAD study, a global esurvey involving 157 collaborators from 106 countries. A total of 9201 complete responses were extracted.

The novel coronavirus infection has spread worldwide, causing a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Most patients develop moderate clinical illness, but a substantial number will experience severe pneumonia, which may rapidly progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ failure. In this population, soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) could serve as a quick triage test and independent marker of clinical severity, hospital and intensive care unit admission, complications, and mortality.
