Scoliosis and cavus foot. Is there a relationship?
The significant correlation between idiopathic scoliosis and cavus foot as it has been elsewhere reported was not verified in this study. On the contrary it is emphasized that the percentage of cavus foot was traced higher in the general healthy population than that in the small and moderate scoliotic curves studied.
Altogether, these results suggest that sodium tungstate regulates proteins involved in axonal and glial plasticity. The fact that sodium tungstate could modulate hypothalamic plasticity and networks in adulthood makes it a possible and interesting therapeutic strategy not only for obesity management, but also for other neurodegenerative illnesses like Alzheimer's disease.
