A high frequency of abnormalities were noted in radiographic measurements of bone density, microradiography of the iliac crest, serum alkaline phosphatase, urinary hydroxyproline and dietary calcium intake in 12 patients with Scheuermann's juvenile kyphosis. Scheuermann's kyphosis may be a
BACKGROUND
Osteoporosis and hyperkyphosis could impose a considerable financial and therapeutic burden on the affected society. Thus, new strategies to prevent or manage such complications are of significant importance. Here we evaluate the effect of 'Dynamic Hyperextension Brace' (DHB) on bone
Non-syndromic kyphosis is a common disorder that is associated with significant morbidity and has a strong genetic involvement; however, the causative genes remain to be identified, as such studies are hampered by genetic heterogeneity, small families and various modes of inheritance. To overcome
The development of kyphotic lesions in pigs with different weights from herds with a high frequency of the lesion was analysed pathologically, radiologically, and for alkaline phosphatase, calcium, magnesium, and phosphate in blood samples. The development of kyphosis was caused by the formation of
METHODS
A 27-year-old woman presented with chronic diffuse bone pain and skeletal deformities. Since the age of 3 years she had occipital hyperostosis. Since aged 13 years she had symptoms indicating spinal root involvement due to hyperkyphosis. For the last 6 years there was evidence of destructive
OBJECTIVE
Clinical observation of bone pain, unusual fractures in two patients, and diffuse osteopenia/osteoporosis led us to assess bone mineral content and density in 30 patients with severe congenital neutropenia who were treated with recombinant-methionyl-human granulocyte colony-stimulating
OBJECTIVE
New bone formation of the spine is a typical feature of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). It is unknown whether new bone formation is part of a physiological repair process or a unique pathological entity of the disease.
METHODS
We analyzed zygapophyseal joints from patients with AS and
A 35-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis 1 and thoracic kyphoscoliosis had incomplete paraplegia. She had a history of hyperparathyroidism due to a parathyroid adenoma which had been excised 4 years previously. Plain radiographs of the spine revealed kyphoscoliosis from the third to sixth thoracic
We present a further case of a rare mesenchymal neoplasm termed phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (mixed connective tissue variant). The patient was a 42-year-old man with a long history of osteomalacia of unknown etiology with pathological bone fracture, abnormality of parathyroid glands, kyphosis,
Ten years of experience with daily prophylaxis of rickets brought about isolated knowledge which corrected old mistakes and demands a revision of older attitudes towards the usual prophylaxis. Prophylaxis of vitamin D according to the most modern and reliable knowledge in the best way promotes the
The incidence of skeletal anomalies in reared fish has been translated for years in important economic losses for the aquaculture industry. In the present study, we have analysed the gene expression of extracellular matrix components and transcription factors involved in bone development in gilthead
BACKGROUND
A 32-year-old lady of Asian descent presented with pain and severe stiffness of the back and hips progressively worsening over several years. She was diabetic but had no past medical history of rickets or renal disease. On examination she was of short stature with marked thoracic kyphosis
METHODS
A caucasian woman aged 79 years, with a history of hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, and osteoarthritis, was referred for assessment of osteoporosis and generalised musculoskeletal pain after surgery for a right midshaft femoral fracture. Further history revealed she had suffered nonspecific
SHP-2 (encoded by PTPN11) is a ubiquitously expressed protein tyrosine phosphatase required for signal transduction by multiple different cell surface receptors. Humans with germline SHP-2 mutations develop Noonan syndrome or LEOPARD syndrome, which are characterized by cardiovascular, neurological
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of the parathyroidectomy (PTX) in the treatment of severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) with Sagliker syndrome (SS).
METHODS
A retrospective review was undertaken among 212 SS patients underwent PTX in our hospital and with more than 3 years' follow up. The
