Objective To determine the efficacy of percutaneous sclerotherapy in the treatment of
aneurysmal bone cysts. Materials and methods Seventeen patients (7 girls, 10 boys) with …

RESULTS A total of 130 CD patients and 202 controls were studied. Mean age at diagnosis
(±SD) was 14.2 (2.7). There were more male patients (59%). Comparing the highest to the …

Study Design. In vitro assays were performed with bone-forming cells isolated from 41
patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and 17 control patients exhibiting another type of …

METHODS A hospital-based case-control was carried out. Newly-diagnosed cases of CD (n=
194), less than 20 yr of age were recruited from the gastroenterology clinic of a large-…

This paper presents a unified framework for automatic segmentation of intervertebral disks
of scoliotic spines from different types of magnetic resonance (MR) image sequences. The …

We investigated the relative contribution of four risk factors to the occurrence of injuries among
alpine skiers aged 12 years and younger (3 to 12 years old; mean age, 9.43 years). The …

To investigate the possible influence of gravity on daily variations of curve magnitude in
adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, standardized anteroposterior standing radiographs of the spine …

A robust method to segment intervertebral disks and spinal canal in magnetic resonance
images is required as part of a precise 3D reconstruction for computer assistance during …

Survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common cancer in children, are
at increased risk of developing late cardiometabolic conditions. However, the mechanisms …

This paper presents an algorithm that automatically detects and corrects specular reflections
in thoracoscopic images and its application in the context of automatic segmentation of …
