Altered cortical network in female with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Altered cortical network in female with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Objective The aim of the study was to investigate abnormalities in the organization of the brain cortical network in patients with AIS based on MR data. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three dimensional spinal deformity that affects teenagers especially girls between the ages of 10-16 at prevalence of 1-4%. The etiopathogenesis remains uncertain but scientific studies have suggested ...

Altered Topological Organization of Cortical Network in Adolescent Girls with Idiopathic Scoliosis

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a multifactorial disease affecting approximately 1-4% of teenagers especially girls at the age of 10-16, but its etiopathogenesis remains uncertain. Previous study has revealed that the cortical thickness in AIS patients is different from that in normal controls. Cortical thickness measurements are known to be strongly correlated between regions that are...

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

BACKGROUND Scoliosis refers to deviation of spine greater than 10 degrees in the coronal plane. Idiopathic Scoliosis is the most common spinal deformity that develops in otherwise healthy children. The sub types of scoliosis are based on the age of the child at presentation. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) by definition occurs in children over the age of 10 years until skeletal maturity. ...

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and osteopenia).

INTRODUCTION Generalized low bone mass and osteopenia in both axial and peripheral skeleton in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) have been reported in literature. However, the exact mechanisms and causes of the bone loss in AIS are not identified yet. OBJECTIVE Therefore, this study examined the relationship between AIS and bone loss represented by: serum concentration of soluble receptor...
