Fracture Prevalence Among Those With Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder/Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
Previous series have questioned bone fragility in those with hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) or hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). These conclusions have been extrapolated to infants and children often in the setting of suspected child abuse. Few studies address this in non-ambulatory…
MOLECULAR AND CLINICAL FEATURES OF KYPHOSCOLIOTIC EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME DUE TO LYSYL HYDROXYLASE 1 DEFICIENCY.
Kyphoscoliotic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (kEDS) is caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in either PLOD1, encoding the enzyme lysyl hydroxylase 1 (LH1), which is crucial for collagen lysine hydroxylation and crosslink formation or in FKBP14, encoding the collagen chaperone FKBP22. This study aims to…
Evaluation of the effect of sandblasting and laser surface treatments on the shear bond strength of zirconia with different yttria content using resin cement.
This in vitro study aimed to assess the effects of Al₂O₃ sandblasting and laser treatment, applied individually or in combination, on surface roughness, surface characterization, and shear bond strength (SBS) to resin cement after thermal aging of zirconia with yttria content of 3 …
Coexisting Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome on Autonomic Reflex Testing in Functional Neurologic Disorder.
BACKGROUND Functional neurological disorder (FND) is characterized by neurological symptoms identified through positive clinical signs that are incongruent with recognized structural neurological disease. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), in contrast, is defined by excessive orthosta…
The impact of dyspnea on health-related quality of life and physical activity in hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome and generalized-hypermobility spectrum disorder.
Respiratory symptoms in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and generalized hypermobility spectrum disorder (G-HSD) may negatively impact health-related quality of life (HRQL) and daily functioning. EDS/G-HSD patients report unmet respiratory symptom management needs that are poorly understood. 1) characte…
The Intersection of Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is a rare disorder resulting in joint hypermobility. Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is an uncommon compressive disorder affecting neurovascular structures of the upper limb. The coincidence of these syndromes may affect the prognosis of interventions for TOS…
Does occupant age and arm position influence the pre-pretensioner repositioning effect in lateral-oblique low-speed impacts?
Previous research has repeatedly shown pre-pretensioner (PPT) seatbelt effectiveness in reducing head and torso displacement in pre-crash maneuvers; however, in most of these studies the volunteers' hands were relaxed in their lap. Arm position variations can alter seatbelt interaction and influence…
