OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease that increases the risk for fragility fractures. Screening and diagnosis can be achieved by measuring mineral density (BMD) using quantitative CT tomography (QCT) in lumbar spine. QCT-derived BMD measurements used to diagnose osteopenia or osteoporosis based on American College of Radiology (ACR) thresholds. Many reports exist regarding prevalence asymptomatic disease-specific populations; however, osteoporosis/osteopenia rates spine fusion...
Cross-sectional mail questionnaire.Assess the feasibility of translating total and domain scores from Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)-24, SRS-23, SRS-22 to SRS-22r.Three successive editions original SRS-24 health-related quality-of-life questionnaire have resulted efforts improve its psychometric properties validate use in patients down 10 years age. This need establish, if possible, conversion equations last most thoroughly validated version, SRS-22r.A consolidated 49 questions that...
Abstract Background Cobb measurement of standing radiographs is the standard for clinical assessment coronal spinal deformity. Angle trunk inclination (ATI) an accepted asymmetry, and has variable reported correlations with angles. Transverse plane spine deformity most accurately measured using axial computed tomography. Aaro Dahlbourn’s technique quantifying apical vertebral rotation respect to sagittal (RAsag) commonly in literature. To our knowledge no study correlated ATI RAsag. The...
The popularity of GPS-based guidance systems for agriculture is increasing. However, no dynamic test standardsare available to evaluate these receivers. In April 2002, GPS receivers were dynamically tested on a 0.8 km length railroadtrack using small rail cart. track was surveyed with an RTK receiver and referenced NGS benchmark. TheGPS evaluated over 24 h period. tests conducted in both directions at two different speeds.Cross-track pass-to-pass errors determined John Deere StarFire...
Tobacco use has documented negative effects on perioperative complications and clinical outcomes. Smoking cessation before spinal surgery may improve The goal of this study was to determine the recidivism rate after smoking fusion. A prospective observational performed at University Kansas Medical Center between 2006 2011. All patients with serum-confirmed nicotine fusion were eligible. status determined questionnaires 3 months, 6 1 year postoperatively. reported nonsmokers had confirmatory...
Prophylactic anticoagulation is commonly used following operative treatment of spinal fractures to prevent Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) but carries a risk bleeding complications. The purpose the study was compare VTE and complications for MID (≤72h) versus LATE (>72h) chemoprophylaxis timing after fracture intervention.This retrospective review patients treated that received between May 2015 June 2019. Chemoprophylaxis initiation (MID vs. LATE) primary grouping variable. Patients with...
Cross-sectional mail questionnaire.Examination of the underlying construct validity Scoliosis Research Society-22r (SRS-22r) Health-Related Quality Life (HRQoL) Questionnaire using factor analysis.The original SRS-24 HRQoL questionnaire has undergone a series modifications in an effort to further improve its psychometric properties and validate use patients from 10 years age until well into adulthood. The SRS-22r is result this effort. To date, English version not been analyzed by analysis.A...
We have occasionally observed clinically noticeable postoperative transverse plane pelvic rotation increase (TPPRI) in the direction of direct thoracolumbar/lumbar rotational corrective load applied during posterior instrumentation and arthrodesis for double (Lenke 3 6) adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) curves. Our purposes were to document this occurrence; identify its frequency, associated variables, natural history; determine effect upon patient outcome.Transverse (TPPR) can be...
In Brief Study Design. Prospective cohort study. Objective. To examine preoperative urinary cross-linked n-telopeptide (uNTx) and assess for association with fusion rates in patients undergoing single multi-level anterior cervical decompression (ACDF). Summary of Background Data. Although high have been reported ACDF, the risk pseudarthrosis remains substantial. An established marker bone turnover, uNTx may prove useful as a predictor fusion. Methods. Patients primary ACDF allograft/plating...

Teaching the agile practices of test-driven development and refactoring to entry level students can be a challenge. This paper outlines an approach doing so with simplicity at its core. It has been effective way communicate not only mechanics practices, but also reasons behind why are important professional software developer.
