    Na, I felt childish after I'd posted it. The issue is important, what is relevant and what is not.

    (emphasis added)

    The objective of this study was to elucidate the possible role of rib asymmetry in the pathogenesis of AIS by comparing the convex–concave rib length discrepancy between two groups of scoliotic patients with different etiology but with similar curve pattern and curve magnitude.
