Headache characteristics in COVID-19 pandemic-a survey study
No full textBackground Headache is the most common COVID-19-related neurological
symptom. We aimed to reveal diagnostic clues of headache for COVID-19
infection and to investigate the course of primary headaches during the
pandemic. Methods We developed a detailed web-based questionnaire
screening the characteristics and course of headaches besides clinical
COVID-19 features. The participants were grouped according to being
diagnosed with COVID-19 infection or not, and having previous or
new-onset headaches. The COVID-19 related headache features and their
associations with other clinical features were investigated. A binary
logistic regression model was performed to differentiate the
characteristics of headache related to COVID-19. Findings A total of
3458 participants (2341 females;67.7\%, 1495 healthcare workers;43.2\%)
with a mean age of 43.21 +/- 11.2 years contributed to the survey. Among
them, 262 participants had COVID-19 diagnosis and 126 (48.1\%) were
male. The rate of males in the group without COVID-19 was 31\% (991 out
of 3196 participants) showing significant gender difference between
groups (p < 0.000). COVID-19 related headaches were more closely
associated with anosmia/ageusia and gastrointestinal complaints (p <
0.000 andp < 0.000), and showed different characteristics like
pulsating, pressing, and even stabbing quality. Logistic regression
analyses showed that bilateral headache, duration over 72 h, analgesic
resistance and having male gender were significant variables to
differentiate COVID-19 positive patients from those without COVID-19 (p
= 0.04 for long duration andp < 0.000 for others). A worsening of
previous primary headaches due to the pandemic-related problems was not
reported in the majority of patients. Interpretation Bilateral,
long-lasting headaches, resistance to analgesics and having male gender
were more frequent in people with COVID-19 in conjunction with
anosmia/ageusia and gastrointestinal complaints. These features may be
helpful for diagnosing the headache related to COVID-19 during the
pandemic
Diverse approaches to scoliosis in young children
No full textManagement of scoliosis in young children needs a comprehensive approach
because of its complexity. There are many debatable points; however,
only serial casting, growing rods (including traditional and
magnetically con trolled) and anterior vertebral body tethering will be
discussed in this article.
Serial casting is a time-gaining method for postponing surgical
interventions in early onset scoliosis, despite the fact that it has
some adverse effects which should be con sidered and discussed with the
family beforehand.
Use of growing rods is a growth-friendly surgical technique for the
treatment of early onset spine deformity which allows chest growth and
lung development. Magnetically controlled growing rods are effective in
selected cases although they sometimes have a high number of unplanned
revisions.
Anterior vertebral body tethering seems to be a promising novel
technique for the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis in immature cases.
It provides substantial correction and continuous curve control while
maintaining mobility between spinal segments. However, long-term
results, adverse effects and their prevention should be clarified by
future studies
