Background: To assess whether delaying operative fixation through the sinus tarsi approach resulted in a decreased wound complications rate or could hinder the quality of reduction in subjects with Sanders type II and III displaced intra-articular calcaneus fractures.
Methods: From January 2015 to December 2019, all polytrauma patients were screened for eligibility. We divided patients into two groups: Group A, treated within 21 days after injury; Group B, treated more than 21 days after injury.
Introduction: OBJECTIVES: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common rheumatic disorder characterized by chronic, widespread pain associated with several not painful symptoms. The contribution of gender to the manifestation of the disease may influence the higher prevalence of FM among women. In spite of this, how patients' gender influences the clinical manifestation of FM is still not well understood.

Aim: We compared glenoid version between elderly monozygotic and dizygotic twins intending to separate the contributions of genetics from shared and unique environments.
Disinfection of combined sewer overflow (CSO) is necessary to reduce the amount of microorganisms discharged into surface waters. In this study, an efficient and cost-competitive treatment for CSO, employing UV disinfection, was developed. High suspended solids content in CSO poses a significant challenge for UV disinfection so laboratory experiments were carried out to asses the effect of chemical pre-treatment followed by micro-sieve filtration on the reduction of total suspended solids (TSS) and the increase of UV transmittance (UVT).

- The study highlights the lack of existing methods to measure the stability of distal radius fractures after reduction and introduces "Pacetti's line" as a potential solution.
- Conducted with 230 patients with dorsally displaced distal radius fractures, follow-up assessments of the Pacetti's line were made through X-rays taken at two intervals post-treatment.
- Results demonstrated a strong correlation between the position of the Pacetti's line and the stability of fracture reductions, suggesting it may be a valuable tool for predicting fracture displacement and guiding clinical management.
