Morphological, biochemical, and histopathological alterations in the paraspinal skeletal muscle of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) have been extensively reported. We evaluated rotator fibers from apex vertebra AIS through histological immunohistochemical analysis. A population 21 female who underwent corrective surgery between 2010 2013 had biopsies taken convex concave sides thoracic curve apical vertebra. Serial sections were stained following routine protocols for...
To evaluate pain, functional capacity, and quality of life patients with non-specific chronic low back after home-based exercise therapy different kinds supervision.Thirty individuals both gender, between 18 65 years old, performed the proposed exercises three times a week, for eight weeks. Group A (N = 17) single supervised session. B 13) was once week at rehabilitation center. Both groups received booklet instructions, questionnaires to capacity life; during initial evaluation, four...
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Assess the impact of COVID-19 on medical students’ internships in public and private institutions Brasil, addition to estimating quality measures taken by their respective Universities face problem availability personal protective equipment (PPE). METHODS A descriptive cross-sectional quantitative analysis study carried out with 317 students undergoing internship from March 31, 2020, April 12, 2020. The survey was conducted through an online questionnaire using SurveyMonkey...
Objective This study evaluates molecular, nutritional and biochemical alterations in human intervertebral discs between middle old age. Methods Twenty-eight lumbar from donors were evaluated separated into two groups: Middle-aged (35–50 years old, relatively non-degenerate of Pfirrmann grades 1–3, n = 15) Old-aged (≥80 all degenerate grade 4 or 5, 13). Parameters which might be expected to related nutrient supply so the health disc cells (eg porosity vertebral endplate, cell viability...
Background Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is a deformity of the spine that occurs in up to 4% children during childhood and adolescence. considered multifactorial, family history may present several individuals affected. We still cannot determine which curves will worsen at what rate, but some factors, such as age, growth potential skeletal maturity have been associated with higher risk progression. Studies suggested decrease bone mineral density be responsible for appearance progression disease,...
Despite the small contribution of LA in Science Citation Index (SCI), a growing by research to international literature has been observed recent years.Systematic review.To evaluate scientific Latin American (LA) Spine Surgeons last decade.A search publications spinal surgeons on topics concerning spine or cord was performed using an online database; Pubmed.gov. The results were limited articles published from January 2000 December 2011. quality publication evaluated with journal impact...
To evaluate fat infiltration in the multifidus muscle close to scoliotic curve as seen MRI compared with histological evaluation patients adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The of fatty AIS by was biopsy. Fatty greater concave side than convex both (P=0.005) and biopsy (P=0.026). There no correlation between findings evaluated through measurements do not express accurately tissue changes observed
The etiology of idiopathic scoliosis remains unknown and different factors have been suggested as causal. Hereditary can also determine the disease; however, pattern inheritance unknown. Autosomal dominant, X-linked multifactorial patterns inheritances reported. Other studies possible chromosome regions related to scoliosis. We report genetic aspects investigate for adolescent in a Brazilian family. Evaluation 57 family members, distributed over 4 generations family, with 9 carriers proband...
Objective: To compare the levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in patients with AIS and a control group. Methods: The were recruited from outpatient clinic our institution during year 2013. Children diagnosed scoliosis before 10 or after 18 years age, those suffering neurological muscular disorders, congenital malformations genetic syndromes excluded. 25-OHD determined by fully automated electrochemiluminescence test. appropriate level was defined as greater than 30 ng/mL. results compared to group...
To quantify fatty infiltration and degree of paraspinal muscle degeneration in patients submitted to tubular microdiscectomy conventional open microdiscectomy.
There is controversy regarding which imaging method best for identifying early degenerative alterations in intervertebral discs. No correlations between such methods and histological finds are presented the literature. The aim of this study was to correlate thickness discs measured on simple radiographs with degree degeneration seen magnetic resonance images findings relating nerve ends inside

Musculoskeletal disorders account for up to one in four of general-practice consultations and almost third complaints primary-care clinical practice. However, an insufficient amount time importance is given their teaching most medical schools.To evaluate the acquisition musculoskeletal competences our institution, order identify flaws propose changes correct improve curriculum.Cross-sectional study conducted São Paulo, Brazil.First fifth-year students were enrolled a survey using Freedman...
Core myopathies are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of congenital with the common defined histopathological feature focally reduced oxidative activity on muscle biopsy. It has low incidence, however, recent articles show broad clinical spectrum, suggesting that real incidence should be considerably larger than previously described. Due to important association between scoliosis paravertebral imbalance, numerous authors study, by biopsy spinal rotator muscles, potential...
OBJETIVO: Comparar a amplitude de flexão e extensão tronco por meio goniometria em atletas não atletas, relacionando estes dados com o teste do ângulo poplíteo dos músculos isquiotibiais. MÉTODOS: A foi avaliada 50 indivíduos praticantes esporte regularmente os quais apresentavam nenhum tipo sintomatologia dolorosa lombar, bem como algum sintoma que pudesse influenciar realização testes. As mensurações foram realizadas dois examinadores independentes consecutivamente goniometria. Os valores...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the reliability and reproducibility of Farfan modified Frobin methods to measure intervertebral disc height in radiographs with inter- intraobserver comparison. METHOD: Six different patients treated for low back pain have been collected digitized, five lumbar each patient were evaluated by six examiners levels experience. The measures done Image Pro Plus 6.0 software. RESULTS: When compared, both showed more than 95% concordance. In intraexaminer analysis, also shown...
