Does brace treatment impact upon the flexibility and the correctability of idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents?
Good surgical correction can be achieved in AIS patients who have been unsuccessful with prior brace treatment. However, a history of prior brace treatment leads to a trend of lowering the curve flexibility, and in turn, negatively impacts upon the curve correctability.
The modification of the physico-chemical parameters by producing peptide amphiphiles form monomeric structures which enhances the binding affinity and allows a better examination of the interaction with the virus surface protein hemagglutinin.
