<h3>Background:</h3> Increased numbers of activated neutrophils have been reported in the bronchial mucosa patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), particularly severe disease. <h3>Objectives:</h3> To investigate expression neutrophilic chemokines and adhesion molecules biopsies from COPD different severity (GOLD stages I–IV) compared age-matched control subjects, smokers normal lung function never smokers. <h3>Methods:</h3> The CCL5, CXCL1, 5, 6, 7 8, CXCR1, CXCR2,...
Twenty-nine patients (mean age 12 years) with severe thoracolumbar and lumbar scoliosis due to myelomeningocele were treated by spinal fusion (7 posterior arthrodesis instrumentation, 3 anterior 19 combined instrumentation). Fusion was extended the sacrum in 15 patients. Mean period of follow-up 6.2 years. The average Cobb angle changes as follows: thoracic curves preoperatively 86 degrees 45 at (the final curve correction 47 %); 97 48 50%). Average pelvis obliquity changed from 26 13 an 49...
This long-term follow-up study was aimed at evaluating patients with hip epiphysiolysis treated by pinning and previously controlled short-term follow-up, in order to evaluate both clinical radiographic evolution. The case series included 36 (17 female 19 male) for overall 48 hips (21 right, 27 left). bilateral 12 patients. Median 17.9 years (range 8.8-29.2). Clinical results were evaluated according Harris, Boyer. divided into three groups slipping degree calculated following Southwick...
This study aimed at verifying the efficacy of growing rod treatment in patients affected by neurofibromatosis with early-onset scoliosis. The authors present a retrospective case seven children treated between 2001 and 2017. Mean age initial surgery was 7.2 years. Cobb angle 82.7°. Lengthening performed once year. last follow-up 50.1°. spinal growth 13.6 mm/year, regular gain during lengthening procedures. period 7 years after first surgery. Three underwent final fusion. Complications were...
Early onset scoliosis (EOS) can lead to marked spine and chest wall deformity often profound cardiopulmonary compromise. Nowadays, treatment benefits from the possibility of a growth-friendly surgical approach avoid early spinal fusion. Growing rod implants allow maximizing thorax growth during childhood, performing lengthening procedures traditionally approximately every 6 months.We retrospectively evaluated 40 patients affected by EOS who underwent growing implantations 2000 2020. A 1-year...

Abstract Background Neonatal infectious spondylodiscitis is a rare bony infection with atypical clinical presentation and non-specific systemic symptoms. Diagnosis treatment are often delayed resulting in vertebral destruction severe complications. We retrospectively reviewed the case of an infant T12 body marked angular kyphosis. Case-report A 4-week-old developed involvement disc between L1. At 6 months age, X-ray showed thoracolumbar kyphosis above 50 Cobb degrees. Therefore, patient...
