The missed chapter on midfoot: Chopart injuries.

Purpose: Midtarsal injuries are often missed at initial presentation which may lead to long-term complications. Nonetheless, radiographs (XR) are used as a primary imaging method. The place of cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) remains unclear in the management of midfoot injuries.

Dorsal wrist ganglion: clinical and imaging correlation in symptomatic population based on high-field MRI.

Objectives: To determine prevalence in the symptomatic population of dorsal mucoid cysts centered on dorsal capsuloscapholunate septum (DCSS) using high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for anatomoclinical and epidemiological correlations.

Materials And Methods: This single-center retrospective study analyzed all 3-Tesla MRIs consecutively performed for painful wrists in 295 patients. Two blinded readers performed measurements.

A Unique Case of Perforated Appendicitis in a Giant Incarcerated Right-Sided Inguinal Hernia: Challenges and Surgical Management.

BACKGROUND Amyand hernia is a rare condition described as the presence of the appendix within an inguinal hernia. The clinical presentation of can be atypical, depending on the length of the defect's history and the size of the hernia. As inguinal hernia repair is considered a routine surgical procedure, giant hernias are mostly encountered in countries with limited medical care or with patient rejection of surgical management.

Endovascular treatment strategies for simultaneous bilateral anterior circulation occlusions in acute ischemic stroke: A single-center experience and systematic review of the literature.

Background: Bilateral and simultaneous occlusion of the anterior circulation is a rare event in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Although endovascular treatment is feasible and safe, the endovascular strategy to be used remains a subject of debate.

Objective: To assess the different endovascular strategies proposed for the treatment of a bilateral, simultaneous anterior circulation occlusion following acute ischemic stroke.

Geochemistry, stable isotopes and statistic tools to estimate threshold and source of nitrate in groundwater (Sardinia, Italy).

In the European Union, nitrate vulnerable zone (NVZ) should be designed for the mitigation of nitrate (NO) contamination caused by agricultural practices. Before establishing new NVZ, the sources of NO must be recognized. A geochemical and multiple stable isotopes approach (hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and boron) and statistical tools were applied to define the geochemical characteristics of groundwater (60 samples), calculate the local NO threshold and assess potential sources of NO contamination in two study areas (hereafter Northern and Southern), located in a Mediterranean environment (Sardinia, Italy).
