Case report.To describe intraoperative administration of albumin as a cause of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated anaphylaxis and cardiac arrest in an adolescent with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.Albumin is considered the OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of rowing exercise on body composition, laboratory data, fitness and scoliosis in visually impaired people. The majority of visually impaired people do not participate in active sports due to efficiency and safety issues. Rowing is a safe whole-body exercise with
Blood transfusions in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis after fusion have been associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and cost.The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between implementation of blood-conservation strategies Study design: Prospective randomized clinical trial.
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of PEAK Plasmablade (PPB), compared with bipolar sealer and standard
In this article, a retrospective analysis of 161 female patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is performed who underwent posterior correction and fusion using all-pedicle screw instrument.The aim of this article is to find out preoperative factors that influence intraoperative blood
METHODS
Retrospective review of prospectively-collected data.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the incidence pleural fluid (PF) and its associated risk factors after posterior corrective spinal fusion (PCSF) in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
BACKGROUND
Subclinical PF is often observed
Regional distribution of lung ventilation and diaphragmatic movement were evaluated using a non-invasive scintigraphic method in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Twenty-four non-smoking patients aged 20 +/- 9 years (mean +/- S.D.), all with a right convex dorsal curve (mean Cobb's angle of 65.1
OBJECTIVE
Abnormal anthropometry including comparably lower weight and body mass index (BMI) in the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) population is increasingly recognised, however, no study has examined postoperative weight loss or its clinical relevance in these relatively thin patients. This
The concentration of zinc, copper, selenium, albumin, and ceruloplasmin in blood plasma and the activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in erythrocytes were determined in a set of patients with idiopathic scoliosis (n=51). A significant decrease of selenium concentration (0.50
Objective The aim of the present study is to identify the incidence, predisposing factors and prognostic impact of blood loss in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis submitted to corrective surgery. Methods Retrospective cohort study, including pediatric patients diagnosed with
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study is to investigate the evolution of nutritional parameters after major spinal surgery in patients with idiopathic scoliosis.
METHODS
This retrospective study included 31 patients with a mean age of 18 y, diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis. The following variables were
The records of forty-four patients who had cerebral palsy and spastic quadriplegia and in whom a spinal arthrodesis had been done for scoliosis were reviewed to determine if the preoperative nutritional status of the patients was associated with the rate of postoperative complications. The patients
BACKGROUND
Progressive scoliosis alters lung function by reducing chest wall compliance and excursion and rotating intrathoracic contents, producing an increasingly asymmetric lung size. The effect of this distortion on regional lung perfusion and ventilation has not been described in children with
METHODS
A prospective self-assessment analysis and evaluation of nutritional and radiographic parameters in a consecutive series of healthy adult volunteers older than 60 years.
OBJECTIVE
To ascertain the prevalence of adult scoliosis, assess radiographic parameters, and determine if there is a
Perioperative nutritional status has been shown to be important in minimizing complications after extensive spinal procedures. Traditionally, total parenteral nutrition has been used to supplement oral nutrition intake. Little information exists regarding the risks and benefits of enteric
