Purpose: To evaluate the contribution of ultrasound in the management of ballistic peripheral nerve injuries (BPNI).

Methods: Twenty-five Armenian soldiers who sustained BPNI of 44 different nerves during the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War in 2020 benefited from multidisciplinary team management including ultrasound examination.

Results: The injuries affected the upper limb in 17 cases (including 2 bilateral cases), the lower limb in 7 cases and both upper and lower limb in 1 case.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the early functional rehabilitation outcomes following percutaneous consolidation for pelvic ring tumor lesions.

Materials And Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, patients with pelvic bone tumor lesions, whether primitive or metastatic, underwent percutaneous consolidation (cementoplasty, screw fixation, or both). The primary outcome was postoperative weight-bearing ambulation.

Rupture of the distal biceps brachii tendon is a rare but debilitating injury, resulting in significant loss of strength. Diagnosis of complete rupture is based on clinical history and physical tests, with surgical repair often recommended due to functional discomfort. Ultrasound (US) is a powerful tool for diagnosing and classifying ruptures, particularly partial ruptures, which is crucial for therapeutic decisions.

Background: Pulmonary nodules are a common incidental finding on chest Computed Tomography scans (CT), most of the time outside of lung cancer screening (LCS). We aimed to evaluate the number of incidental pulmonary nodules (IPN) found in 1 year in our hospital, as well as the follow-up (FUP) rate and the clinical and radiological features associated with FUP.

Methods: We trained a Natural Language Processing (NLP) tool to identify the transcripts mentioning the presence of a pulmonary nodule, among a large population of patients from a French hospital.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study addresses the need for reliable methods to predict the risk of fractures in patients with femoral metastases, highlighting the limitations of current clinical tools and the potential of CT-scan-based finite element analysis for better predictions.
  • - Researchers assessed the reproducibility of a promising model developed in Belgium by comparing it to an independently reproduced model in France, confirming a strong correlation but noting the reproduced model consistently predicts higher failure loads.
  • - The evaluation of the model's application on different datasets showed decreased accuracy in predictions, while the global sensitivity analysis revealed significant factors affecting results, especially the influence of the density calibration coefficient.
