Seroprevalence of Swine Influenza A Virus (swIAV) Infections in Commercial Farrow-to-Finish Pig Farms in Greece.

Swine influenza is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by influenza A virus infection. Pigs play an important role in the overall epidemiology of influenza because of their ability to transmit influenza viruses of avian and human origin, which plays a potential role in the emergence of zoonotic strains with pandemic potential. The aim of our study was to assess the seroprevalence of Swine Influenza Viruses (swIAVs) in commercial pig farms in Greece.

Reduplicated medial parapatellar plica: a case of a medial plica anatomical variation recalcitrant to conservative treatment.

Purpose: The current study aims to report the radiologic and clinical appearance of a rare anatomical variation of the knee medial synovial plica along with its response to conservative and surgical treatment.

Case Presentation: This report portrays a 29-year-old male patient with anteromedial gradual onset right knee pain, aggravated when descending stairs or prolonged sitting. Physical examination revealed medial parapatellar local tenderness, a palpable click in this area when the knee was extended, and hamstring tightness.

Endoscopic curettage and allografting of simple bone cysts of the calcaneus in young soccer players: Report of three cases.

Open curettage with bone graft has been the traditionally suggested surgical treatment for the symptomatic simple (or unicameral as they used to be called) calcaneal bone cyst. Less invasive endoscopically assisted treatment with curettage and bone grafting with allograft have recently provided less postoperative morbidity. The aim of the present study is to present our experience with this method in young soccer athletes.

Inverted deltoid posterior cruciate ligament femoral insertion accompanied with medial synovial fold: a case of a complex posterior cruciate ligament anatomical variation recalcitrant to conservative treatment.

Purpose: The present study aims to report a symptomatic rare anatomical variation of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) that was encountered during arthroscopy.

Case Presentation: A 34-year-old female suffered from dull anterior pain in the right knee, along with stiffness and the presence of an audible click and occasionally locking during deep knee flexion. Physical examination revealed only slight pain during single-leg squatting and mild knee effusion with painful limitation of the last degrees of flexion.

Arthroscopic os trigonum en-bloc removal outcomes at 6-month follow-up are better compared to Stieda's process resection in patients with posterior ankle impingement syndrome: a prospective comparative study.

Objective: To evaluate the potential differences in American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot score and Foot Function Index (FFI) at 6-month and 12-month postoperative follow-up of arthroscopic treatment for posterior ankle impingement (PAIS) between os trigonum (OT) and Stieda's process (SP) patients.

Methods: Thirty consecutive patients (32 ankles) treated in our Institution for PAIS with posterior arthroscopy were prospectively enrolled in the study from December 2012 to July 2019. Indications were patients with PAIS with persistent symptoms following conservative management.
