The cause of scoliosis is unknown. Males and females have almost the same rate of scoliosis; however, females have a 10-fold higher chance of curve progression. While many with scoliosis may not experience serious complications, it can lead to rib deformity and respiratory compromise, as well as cosmetic issues and emotional discomfort in some patients. However, it is the most common spinal deformity in adolescents. Physiotherapy Rehabilitation helps in correcting the deformity if functional deformity. A 20 year old female presented with dorso-lumbar scoliosis, L 4 – L5 disc bulge, Sacralization of L5 S1 diagnosed as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. She had decreased muscular strength of back muscles, abdominals and pelvic floor muscles. She also complaint of radiating pain with tingling numbness in both lower limbs with restricted range of motion. Multiple tender points were present throughout her spinal musculature with muscle tightness. The Adam's forward bent test and a scoliometer calculation will help direct the use of radiologic tests for Cobb angle measurement and orthopaedic referrals. Proper conservative management with Prompt physical therapy which leads to achieve functional goals .The case report suggests that prompt structured physical rehabilitation led to improving functional goals progressively and significantly which is a major aspect leading to a successful recovery and better living.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To compare the measurement of the Cobb angle on printed radiographs and on scanned radiographs viewed through the software "PixViewer". Methods: Preoperative radiographs of 23 patients were evaluated on printed films and through the software "PixViewer". The same evaluator, a spine surgeon, chose the proximal and distal limiting vertebrae of the main curve on printed radiographs, without identification of patients, and measured the Cobb angle based on these parameters. The same parameters and measurements were applied to scanned radiographs. The measurements were compared, as well as the choice of limiting vertebrae. Results: The average variation of the Cobb angle between methods was 1.48 ± 1.73°. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.99, demonstrating excellent reproducibility. Conclusion: The Cobb method can be used to evaluate scoliosis through the "PixViewer" tool with the same reliability as the classic method on printed radiographs.

Background: Gender differences are important in epidemiology, pathophysiology, treatment, and outcomes in Type 2 DM, Objectives: To study gender differences of the burden of type 2 diabetes and complication risk among Saudi subjects visiting the outpatient clinics. Subjects and methods: A cross sectional study, including 2501 patients, who visited the outpatient clinics at two private general hospitals in Jeddah during the years 2018 through to 2019. All patients were examined and diagnosed by specialists. Data were collected using check list form to obtain personal characteristics and area of residence; vital signs, anthropometric measurements, clinical characteristics and outcome of the visits. Statistical analysis: SPSS version 23 (IBM), was used. Chi square, and logistic regression tests were used. OR, and 95% IC were used to describe the relationships. Level of significance was 0.05. Results: Out of all the visits to the outpatient clinics, DM constituted 5.5%. Type 2 DM was common in those aged 40 years and above, while Type 1 DM was common in those aged 18 years and younger. Males were at 1.7 times more likely to develop DM compared to females (OR 1.715; 95% CI: 1.146, 2.257, p <0.009). The males with T2DM had significantly more frequent edema of the lower limbs compared to the females. Polyuria was the most common symptom, while HBA1C and FBS were the most common investigations ordered, and Biguanides and sulfonylurea and insulin were the common treatment prescribed. These were similar in both the males and females. Hypertension (22%), IHD (6%), and dyslipidemia (6%) were encountered among patients with T2DM; however, these CVDs were similar in the males and females. Conclusion: DM is a common chronic disorder, which imposes burden on the primary health care in Saudi Arabia. It is more common in males than females, however, the pattern of cardiovascular complications and health care management were similar in both genders. Key words: DM, Gender, outpatient clinics, Saudi Arabia,
