Background: To provide improved treatment for hallux valgus (HV), we sought to understand more about the pathophysiologic connection between flatfoot deformity and HV by comparing coronal plane alignment of the medial column of the foot for patients with isolated HV, isolated flatfoot, and combined HV-flatfoot vs controls.
Methods: This study retrospectively assessed a consecutive series of 33 patients with combined symptomatic and radiographic HV and flatfoot, 33 isolated symptomatic HV, 33 isolated symptomatic flatfoot, and 33 controls. The medial column alignment was assessed in the coronal plane using 3-dimensional weightbearing computed tomography (WBCT); rotation was measured for the navicular, medial cuneiform, and first metatarsal (M1).

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of the Crane reduction technique in midline lumbar fusion (MIDLF) with cortical bone trajectory screws for treating degenerative spondylolisthesis, and to identify factors affecting the reduction rate.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 87 patients (64 female and 23 male) with L4-5 degenerative spondylolisthesis who underwent MIDLF and the Crane technique. Patients were categorizing using the spondylolisthesis Meyerding classification system into Grade I (59 patients) and Grade II (28 patients) groups and compared for demographics, radiographic parameters, and the spondylolisthesis reduction rate.
Background: Dental caries remains the most prevalent chronic disease worldwide. Hence the importance of detecting and evaluating caries and combining this with additional diagnostic methods to ensure the best treatment. The main objective was to study what is the sensitivity and specificity for detecting initial and cavitated caries lesions by students in third, fourth and fifth year of the Degree in Dentistry at the University of Barcelona, analysing if there is any difference between the diagnoses and treatments among the different years and each student's clinical experience.

Purpose: Two randomized clinical trials (STOMP and ORIOLE) demonstrated that stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) can prolong ADT-free survival or progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with metachronous oligometastatic prostate cancer (omCSPC) patients. While most omCSPC patients have a more modest delay in progression, a small subset achieves a durable response following SABR. We investigated the prognostic and predictive value of circulating PSMA-positive extracellular vesicles (PSMA+EV) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) in a biomarker correlative study using blood samples from three independent patient cohorts.

This case report describes the reconstruction of a rostral maxillary defect by two custom-made titanium implants following a rostral partial maxillectomy for treatment of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in a seven-year-old dog. An incisional biopsy and CT scan were performed to establish the diagnosis, to plan possible surgery, and to assess the margins of the tumour. The patient had no radiographic signs of metastasis at the time of diagnosis.
