High rates of donor site healing using quadriceps tendon for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A case series.

Purpose: To investigate the healing of the quadriceps tendon donor site after partial thickness graft harvesting through ultrasound imaging at a short-term follow-up of 6-month following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and to investigate the clinical outcomes.

Methods: Between March 2019 and August 2020, 61 knees were retrospectively included in this study. Intraoperatively, the length, width and thickness of the harvested QT graft were measured.

Is post-mortem ultrasonography a useful tool for forensic purposes?

Purpose: To investigate the interest of post-mortem ultrasonography in the diagnosis of pathological background, and manner and cause of death.

Methods: Post-mortem ultrasonography exams were carried out on 38 fresh human adult cadavers referred to the Department of Forensic Medicine and Pathology (Garches, France). Data obtained from ultrasonography were independently compared with further forensic autopsy findings.

MRI and CT of sacrocolpopexy.

Objective: The purpose of this article is to describe the surgical procedure of sacrocolpopexy as well as the normal postoperative features and complications on cross-sectional imaging, with an emphasis on MRI.

Conclusion: Sacrocolpopexy with mesh insertion is a commonly performed operation to treat pelvic organ prolapse. MDCT and MRI are used not only to evaluate for potential complications of the procedure but also to evaluate for functional disorders and recurrent prolapse.

Detection of residual packets in cocaine body packers: low accuracy of abdominal radiography-a prospective study.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of abdominal radiography (AXR) for the detection of residual cocaine packets by comparison with computed tomography (CT).

Methods: Over a 1-year period unenhanced CT was systematically performed in addition to AXR for pre-discharge evaluation of cocaine body packers. AXR and CT were interpreted independently by two radiologists blinded to clinical outcome.

A regressive Meigs syndrome after definitive adnexal torsion.

The Meigs syndrome is a rare but well known syndrome in which removal of the tumor results in cure. We report a case of a regressive Meigs syndrome after a definitive adnexal torsion which highlights the major role of the vascular phenomena in the physiopathology of this puzzling syndrome.
