The use of magnetically controlled growing rod device for pediatric scoliosis
OBJECTIVE To study the safety and efficacy of an innovative device using distraction-based magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR) for the treatment of pediatric scoliosis. METHODS This is an evidence-based systematic review of literature for the surgical management of patients with pediatric scoliosis using MCGR technique. Six clinical studies regarding the use of MCGR were included in t...
متن کاملSolvation Force in Hard Ellipsoid Molecular Liquids with Rod-Sphere and Rod- Surface Interactions
In previous work, one of us calculated the Solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid with hard Gaussian overlap potential using hard needle wall interaction and non-linear equation proposed by Grimson- Rickyazen. In present work, using density functional theory and extended restricted orientation model, the solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid in presence of more realistic rod- sphere and rod-...
متن کاملFrequent small distractions with a magnetically controlled growing rod for early-onset scoliosis and avoidance of the law of diminishing returns.
PURPOSE To assess the effect of frequent small distractions with a magnetically controlled growing rod (MCGR) on spinal length gain and achieved distraction length in children with early-onset scoliosis (EOS), and to determine whether the law of diminishing returns applies to this group of patients with MCGR. METHODS A consecutive series of 3 males and 4 females with EOS who underwent MCGR im...
متن کاملRod contributions to color perception: Linear with rod contrast
At mesopic light levels, an incremental change in rod activation causes changes in color appearance. In this study, we investigated how rod mediated changes in color perception varied as a function of the magnitude of the rod contrast. Rod-mediated changes in color appearance were assessed by matching them with cone-mediated color changes. A two-channel four-primary colorimeter allowed independ...
متن کاملRod Sensitivity During Xenopus Development
We have measured the sensitivity of rod photoreceptors from overnight-dark-adapted Xenopus laevis through developmental stages 46-66 into adulthood by using suction-pipette recording. The dark current increased gradually from approximately 5 pA at stage 46 to approximately 20 pA at stage 57, compared with an adult (metamorphosed) current of approximately 35 pA. This increase in dark current lar...
