“…Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common three-dimensional structural spine change among teenagers aged between 10 and 18 years. The reported prevalence of AIS in teenagers ranges from 0.47% to 5.2% globally, and is 2.4% in Eastern China [1][2][3][4]. Girls are 1.5 to 3 times more likely than boys to have AIS.…”

The Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life (ISYQOL) is a validated health-related quality of life (HRQOL) questionnaire for teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). We culturally-adapted ISYQOL to traditional Chinese (ISYQOL-TC) and then recruited 133 conservatively treated teenagers with AIS to complete the ISYQOL-TC and the Chinese version of the Scoliosis Research Society-22 revised (SRS-22r) questionnaire, nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), seven-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7), and numeric pain rating scale (NPRS). They repeated ISYQOL-TC two weeks later. The internal consistency, unidimensionality, and test–retest reliability were measured using the Cronbach’s alpha, Rasch measurement models, and intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC3,1), respectively. The concurrent validity of the ISYQOL-TC with SRS-22r, and its construct validity with other questionnaires were evaluated using Spearman correlation coefficients. The ISYQOL-TC demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha 0.90 and 0.89 for items 1–13 and items 1–20), and excellent test–retest reliability (ICC3,1 = 0.95–0.96). The Rasch analysis supported the unidimensionality of all 20 items in ISYQOL-TC. The ISYQOL-TC percentage scores were positively correlated with SRS-22r total scores (r = 0.65; p < 0.05), but were negatively related to PHQ-9, GAD-7, and NPRS scores (r = −0.46 to −0.39; p < 0.01). Collectively, the ISYQOL-TC is a reliable and valid instrument for evaluating HRQOL in Chinese teenagers with AIS.

Background Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with fibromatosis/fasciitis-like/desmoid-type stroma is a rare subtype of PTC,characterized by two distinct components: a classic papillary carcinoma component and a spindle cell proliferationresembling fibromatosis or nodular fasciitis. This stromal component adds a unique dimension to the tumor'spathology, making diagnosis more challenging and potentially leading to misclassification. Case presentation We present a case of this rare entity which contributes to the growing body of literature by providing additionalmolecular data, which may shed light on the biological behaviour of the fibromatosis-like stroma and its relationshipwith the papillary carcinoma component. This case underscores the importance of recognizing this subtype, as itsspindle cell proliferation could be mistaken for a separate neoplasm or reactive process, resulting in inappropriatemanagement. Conclusions Increased awareness of this entity will help pathologists avoid diagnostic pitfalls and guide clinicians in developingmore precise treatment plans, addressing both the malignant papillary component and the unique stromal features.This case further enriches the current understanding of the heterogeneity of PTC and highlights the need fortailored management strategies in rare subtypes.
