Spondylodescitisis considered one of the rare diseases that cause back pain. The disease pathology is not yet been clearly known, however, in most patients the disease thought to be spreading hematogenously from a previously existing site of infection. We report two years and 11 months old child, previously healthy girl, presented to the emergency department with two weeks’ history of weakness of the lower extremities and lumbar back pain with slightly arched back. She had a complete recovery with early intervention and complete course of antibiotics.

There is a high prevalence of comorbidities among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Comorbidities are likely common in patients with any COPD degree and are associated with increased mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of thirty-one different COPD comorbidities and to evaluate the association between physical activity (PA) levels in people with COPD residing in Spain. Cross-sectional data from the Spanish National Health Survey 2017 were analysed. A total of 601 adults (52.2% females) with COPD aged 15 to 69 participated in this study. PA (exposure) was measured with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form and comorbidities (outcomes) were self-reported in response to the question “Have you ever been diagnosed with…?” Multivariable logistic regression, in three different models, was used to assess this association. Results showed a high prevalence of comorbidities (94%), these being chronic lumbar back pain (38.9%), chronic allergy (34.8%), arthrosis (34.1%), chronic cervical back pain (33.3%), asthma (32.9%) and hypertension (32.8%) the most prevalent. Low PA level was significantly associated with urinary incontinence (2.115[1.213–3.689]), chronic constipation (1.970[1.119–3.459]), cataracts (1.840[1.074–3.153]), chronic anxiety (1.508[1.002–2.269]) and chronic lumbar back pain (1.489[1.044–2.125]). Therefore, people with COPD should increase their PA levels in order to reduce their risk of comorbidities and increase their quality of life.

Lumbalgien (lumbar back pain, LBP) gehören zu den häufigsten Erkrankungen des Bewegungsapparates. Sie sind mit struktureller und funktioneller Veränderung sowie schlechter Koordination der paraspinalen Muskulatur verbunden. Übungen können die Kraft, Beweglichkeit, Ausdauer und Funktionsstörungen verbessern. Das Ziel der Studie war, die Wirkung von individualisierten Lendenwirbelstabilisierungs- und Gehübungen zu untersuchen.
