We experienced a rare case of a 73-year-old woman with giant hemangioma of the left 8th rib. She had an abnormal shadow of left lower lung field in a health check and was referred to our hospital. Preoperative examination suggested malignant rib tumor because of tumor growth beyond the disrupted bony cortex. She underwent resection of the left 8th rib with the 7th rib and the 7th intercostal muscles and reconstruction of the chest wall defect. The pathological diagnosis of the lesion was cavernous hemangioma. She was discharged after an uneventful postoperative course. She has been well without any sign of recurrence for 3 year after surgery.

Clavicle fractures are among the most common in children, typically treated conservatively, with standard radiographs used to diagnose and monitor healing. Recently, infrared thermography (IRT) has been proposed as an alternative method for fracture detection, but no study has correlated the temperature changes during callus formation. Children aged 4-18 with X-ray-diagnosed clavicle fractures were included in the study.

Introduction: Few studies have reported the treatment and rehabilitation of combined fractures of the femur, tibia, and ankle in the same lower limb.
Case Report: A 69-year-old man presented to our hospital with a fall injury due to high-energy trauma after falling from a 5 m ladder while painting and landing on both feet. Examination revealed right femoral supracondylar; left tibial plateau; right calcaneal; left ankle crush; first and third lumbar vertebrae burst; sacral; C7, Th1, and Th9 compression; and bilateral acetabular fractures.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the connection between patent foramen ovale (PFO), a right to left shunt, and cryptogenic stroke in patients aged 60 and older, comparing it to known causes of stroke.
- - Researchers used contrast-enhanced bubble Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography to examine 172 patients (86 aged 60+) and found a higher prevalence of PFO in those with cryptogenic strokes versus those with known causes.
- - Results indicate that PFO is significantly associated with cryptogenic strokes in older patients, and the bubble-cTCD method is suggested as a reliable first-line detection technique for PFO in this age group.
