Filter by:Pectus deformities are common anterior chest wall pathologies. Pectus excavatum is the most common chest deformity with an incidence of 0.1-0.3%. Although the incidence of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is 0.2-3% in the community, some studies show that this rate rises to 17.61-25.58% when it is associated with pectus deformity. While the pectus excavatum rotates the heart to the left with its ribs and cartilages, it pushes the thoracic vertebra to the right side with the internal counterforce created by the heart, which has been shown to push the spine to the right with an asymmetric horizontal force in scoliosis patients with pectus deformity. Based on this, in study, investigators aimed to determine whether there is any relationship between pectus deformities and spinal pathologies, and if there is a relationship, with which pathology it is most common, whether the type of scoliosis seen in pectus deformities with a prominent scoliosis prevalence is a pectus-specific curve, and whether this curve seen in scoliosis is associated with pectus. To determine whether there is a footprint or not.
The goal of this study was to find prevalence and correlations of different weight abnormalities and risk of abdominal obesity in a random sample of Egyptian children suffering from cerebral palsy. This cross- sectional study hypothesize the prevalence of weight abnormalities and risk of abdominal obesity in addition to positive correlations between weight abnormalities and number of exercise hours and frequency of meals in a random sample of Egyptian children suffering from cerebral palsy RESEARCH QUESTION: 1. What is the prevalence of weight abnormalities and and risk of abdominal obesity in Egyptian children with cerebral palsy? 2. Does the weight abnormalities correlates with number of exercise hours or frequency of meals in children with cerebral palsy?
Forward head posture is one of the most common postural problems that we face today. Sitting for long periods in poor posture and the excessive use of electronic devices has become a high risk for this postural abnormality. The goal of this [interventional study] is to [provide the participants with simple and easy corrective exercises for this abnormal posture which they can do anywhere at any time and to provide postural education and awareness on the matter.
The goal of this observational study is to assess the birth outcomes of HIV-positive women delivering in hospitals in Eswatini who are receiving dolutegravir (DTG) or other anti-retroviral (ARV) drug regimens. The main question the study aims to answer is, what is the proportion of neural tube defects among live and stillborn infants delivered by: - HIV-positive women on DTG at conception - HIV-negative women - HIV-positive women on non-DTG ARV at conception Participants will be interviewed for information on HIV testing and antiretroviral therapy history, other medical history of selected conditions (e.g., diabetes, malaria, TB) and potential birth defect exposures. Photographs will be taken of the infants. Data on mothers' pregnancy history, birth outcomes, and HIV and ARV information (as applicable) will be collected from patient records.
The aim of this study is to simulate the orthopedic treatment called Morton's extension on non-deformed patients to check the effects on each metatarsal head on its static footprint.
The aim of the current study is to assess the prevalence of molar incisor malformation in Fayoum-Egypt.
This study aims to investigate the effects of foot pronation exercises and arch support insoles on balance and vertical jump test in football players.
The purpose of this study is to compare the results of single-stage anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction combined with high tibial osteotomy and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction alone in knees with varus malalignment and anterior cruciate ligament deficiency. Evaluation will be clinically, radiologically and time needed to return to pre injury activity level. Our Hypothesis: Simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and high tibial osteotomy provides good functional scores, low rate of graft failure and early return to pre injury activity level with minimal added morbidity.
The goal of this study is to assess performance of a new clinical decision support system named LabTest Checker in a cohort of adult patients reporting to the internal ward's emergency department. The main question it aims to answer is: • how accurate and safe is LabTest Checker. A set of blood laboratory tests will be ordered for each participant. Participants will use LabTest Checker to obtain an interpretation of their test results. The interpretation provided by LabTest Checker will then be compared with the interpretation given by an internal medicine specialist to assess the accuracy and safety of the tool.
The aim of the project is to assess the association between exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) via drinking water in pregnancy and birth outcomes (i.e. growth retardation, premature birth, and congenital developmental defects) and maternal morbidity (gestational hypertension, diabetes and preeclampsia) in a prospective population-wide register study.
