Scoliosis in Fibrous Dysplasia/McCune‐Albright Syndrome: Factors Associated With Curve Progression and Effects of Bisphosphonates
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Bone and Mineral Research"
DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.3446
Abstract: Scoliosis is a complication of fibrous dysplasia/McCune‐Albright syndrome (FD/MAS); however, risk factors and long‐term outcomes are unknown. Bisphosphonates are commonly used; however, it is unknown whether their use decrease the risk of progressive scoliosis. Clinical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jcp.30883
Abstract: Scoliosis, usually diagnosed in childhood and early adolescence, is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. L‐type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), encoded by solute carrier transporter 7a5 (Slc7a5), plays a crucial role in amino… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jor.23304
Abstract: Scoliosis deformity has been linked with deleterious changes in the thoracic cavity that affect pulmonary function. The causal relationship between spinal deformity and pulmonary function has yet to be fully defined. It has been hypothesized… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jum.15068
Abstract: Currently, radiography with measurement of the Cobb angle is still considered the reference standard for diagnosing scoliosis. However, the ionizing radiation hazard is drawing wide attention. Can 3‐dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) be an alternative modality… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00383-021-05000-2
Abstract: We created abdominal wall defects (AWD) in fetal lambs to investigate possible causes of scoliosis. We incised the upper abdominal wall (including Rectus) in 60-day gestation fetal lambs, from the midline to either the right… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00521-018-3614-y
Abstract: Idiopathic scoliosis treatment depends on the accurate assessment of the Cobb angle, which is usually performed manually. Manual measurements, however, can lead to observer variations, which depend on the correct selection of the curvature superior… read more here.
