Study Design. Retrospective review, full-body radiographical analysis of adult patients with
sagittal spinal malalignment (SSM). Objective. To investigate the compensatory mechanisms …

Lysophospholipids are bioactive lipids and can signal through G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).
The best studied lysophospholipids are lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and …

OBJECT Previous forceplate studies analyzing the impact of sagittal-plane spinal deformity
on pelvic parameters have demonstrated the compensatory mechanisms of pelvis translation …

Background Few studies have examined threshold improvements in health-related quality of
life (HRQOL) by measuring minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) in treatment of …

Membrane-embedded prenyltransferases from the UbiA family catalyze the Mg 2+ -dependent
transfer of a hydrophobic polyprenyl chain onto a variety of acceptor molecules and are …

BACKGROUND: The maintenance of horizontal gaze is an essential function of upright posture
and global sagittal spinal alignment. Horizontal gaze is classically measured by the chin-…

In this paper, a metal bound diamond grinding wheel with a regular grain distribution was
fabricated based on 3D printing technology, which provides a solution to the irregular grain …

OBJECTIVE Sagittal malalignment requires higher energy expenditure to maintain an erect
posture. Because the clinical impact of sagittal alignment is affected by both the severity of …

Sodium (Na + ) is a ubiquitous and important inorganic salt mediating many critical biological
processes such as neuronal excitation, signaling, and facilitation of various transporters. …

The surgical treatment of adult spinal deformity has been shown to offer superior clinical and
radiographic outcomes compared with nonoperative approaches; furthermore, osteotomies …
