June is Scoliosis Awareness Month
Scoliosis Awareness Month unites scoliosis patients, families, physicians, clinicians, institutions and related businesses in a
collaborative partnership to create a positive public awareness, education, and advocacy campaign through a grassroots network of local activities,
events and media impressions throughout the year.
Scoliosis affects 2-3% of the population, or an estimated 6 million people in the U.S.,
and there is no cure. Scoliosis impacts infants, adolescents, and adults worldwide with little regard to race or socio-economic status.

LifeScience Moment: Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes and the Tripe Crown in record setting time
On June 9, 1973 Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths and a time of 2:24 flat,
which broke the stakes' record by more than two seconds, aother record that still stands.
Secretariat, the record setting winner of the Triple Crown in 1973, had a heart
estimated to be 22 pounds or two-and-three-quarters times as large as that
of the average horse which is approximately 8.5 pounds.
Secretariat's large heart can be genetically traced to the legendary Eclipse,
foaled in England for the Duke of Cumberland in 1764. The larger heart is passed
down the female line on the X chromosome.
Today, this genetic knowledge combined with ultrasound imaging technology helps
breeders take advantage of the X Factor.
