An Atypical Case of Lumbar Scheuermanns Disease
No full textScheuermann diseases true etiology still remains unknown, but there appears to be a strong genetic as well as an environmental contribution. The kyphotic deformity is frequently attributed to "poor posture" which is still resulting in delayed diagnosis. Because of its natural history which has not been clearly defined, treatment modalities and indications remain debated. However, Scheuermann also described changes occur in the disc spaces of the spine which can lead to back pain, there are still some confusions in terminology, diagnosis and the mangement of the disease. We aimed to remind that miscellaneous disease with a brief and different case of report. [Med-Science 2016; 5(2.000): 715-9
Current treatment approaches for ankle ligament injuries: what has changed?
No full textBecause of inadequate and unsuccesful management of ALI, undesired chronic disabilities may unluckily be observed. Treatment of these patients should be planned comprehensive and detailed depending on patients diagnosis, injurys severity and stage. Program should not only be focused on to solve edema. An integrated treatment covering injurys acute and subacute period and a comprehensive algorithm including an early rehabilitation program would provide better recovery times.

Computer-Aided Detection (Cadx) For Plastic Deformation Fractures In Pediatric Forearm
No full textBowing fractures are incomplete fractures of tubular long bones, often observed in pediatric patients, where plain radiographic film is the non-invasive imaging modality of choice in routine radiological workflow. Due to weak association between bent bone and distinct cortex disruption, bowing fractures may not be diagnosed properly while reading plain radiography. Missed fractures and dislocations are common in accidents and emergency practice, particularly in children. These missed injuries can result in more complicated treatment or even long-term disability. The most common reason for missed fractures is that junior radiologists or physicians lack expertise in pediatric skeletal injury diagnosis. Not only is additional radiation exposure inevitable in the case of misdiagnosis, but other consequences include the patient\u27s prolonged uncomfortableness and possible unnecessary surgical procedures. Therefore, a computerized image analysis system, which would be secondary to the radiologists’ interpretations, may reduce adverse effects and improve the diagnostic rates of bowing fracture (detection and quantification). This system would be highly desirable and particularly useful in emergency rooms. To address this need, we investigated and developed a new Computer Aided Detection (CADx) system for pediatric bowing fractures. The proposed system has been tested on 226 cases of pediatric forearms with bowing fractures with respect to normal controls. Receiver operation characteristic (ROC) curves show that the sensitivity and selectivity of the developed CADx system are satisfactory and promising. A clinically feasible graphical user interface (GUI) was developed to serve the practical needs in the emergency room as a diagnostic reference. The developed CADx system also has strong potential to train radiology residents for diagnosing pediatric forearm bowing fractures
Can balneotherapy improve the bowel motility in chronically constipated middle-aged and elderly patients?
No full textBalneotherapy or spa therapy is usually known for different application forms of medicinal waters and its effects on the human body. Our purpose is to demonstrate the effect of balneotherapy on gastrointestinal motility. A total of 35 patients who were treated for osteoarthritis with balneotherapy from November 2013 through March 2015 at our hospital had a consultation at the general surgery for constipation and defecation disorders. Patients followed by constipation scores, short-form health survey (SF-12), and a colonic transit time (CTT) study before and after balneotherapy were included in this study, and the data of the patients were analyzed retrospectively. The constipation score, SF-12 score, and CTT were found statistically significant after balneotherapy (p < 0.05). The results of our study confirm the clinical finding that a 15-day course of balneotherapy with mineral water from a thermal spring (Bursa, Turkey) improves gastrointestinal motility and reduces laxative consumption in the management of constipation in middle-aged and elderly patients, and it is our belief that treatment with thermal mineral water could considerably improve the quality of life of these patients
