Introduction: Severe spondylosis is common and represents contraindication to achieve cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA).
Research Question: Is it possible to restore cervical sagittal alignment using an adequate prosthetic model and performing systematic bilateral total uncuscectomy (or uncinectomy), even in cases of severe spondylosis ?
Material And Methods: We propose a prospective clinical and radiological study comparing the evolution of preoperative and postoperative cervical sagittal balance 1 year after the interposition of a prosthesis with mobile bearing and systematic total uncuscectomy. VAS for brachialgia and cervicalgia, NDI, Odom's criteria, C2-C7 Cobb angle, C2-C7 SVA, T1 slope, C2 slope, C1-C2 Cobb angle, and segmental Cobb angle were analyzed preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively.
Background The role and performance of chest CT in the diagnosis of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic remains under active investigation. Purpose To evaluate the French national experience using chest CT for COVID-19, results of chest CT and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays were compared together and with the final discharge diagnosis used as the reference standard. Materials and Methods A structured CT scan survey (NCT04339686) was sent to 26 hospital radiology departments in France between March 2, 2020, and April 24, 2020.

Materials And Methods: Among 9073 patients who underwent PET/CT over a 4-year period, 82 patients without a history of colonic disease had focal colonic FDG uptake and underwent colonoscopy. In consensus, a radiologist and a nuclear physician read images from these PET/CT examinations.
