Objectives: This research aimed to compare the prostate cancer (PCa) features, survival rate, and functional outcomes after open suprapubic Radical Prostatectomy (RP) between younger men (≤ 55 years) and older men (> 55 years).
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we studied 134 patients with clinically localized PCa who underwent RP at our centers between 2011 and 2019, with 26 (19.40%) patients aged ≤ 55.

Background: A modified computed tomography angiography (CTA)-based Carotid Plaque Reporting and Data System (Plaque-RADS) classification was applied to a cohort of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source to test whether high-risk Plaque-RADS subtypes are more prevalent on the ipsilateral side of stroke. With the widespread use of CTA for stroke evaluation, a CTA-based Plaque-RADS would be valuable for generalizability.
Methods: A retrospective observational cross-sectional study was conducted at a single integrated health system comprised of 3 hospitals with a comprehensive stroke center between October 1, 2015, and April 1, 2017.
The aim of the study was to compare the outcomes of bone transport in treating upper- middle vs. lower- middle tibial bone defects. Sixty-two patients with tibial infected large segmental defects treated by bone transport were analyzed retrospectively and divided into distal group (lower- middle tibial bone defects and proximal transport, n=38) and proximal group (upper- middle tibial bone defects and distal transport, n=24).

The aim of the study was to investigate the differences of the reamed versus the unreamed short proximal femoral nailing (PFN), in terms of the duration of surgery and the outcome. The impact of patients and fracture characteristics to the outcome was also evaluated.

A retrospective study of all orthopaedic cases with a hip fracture from 2020 to 2022 at CHC Montlegia has been undertaken, the group is compared to patients with the same impairment from 2018-2020 admitted to Saint Joseph/Esperance CHC hospitals (before the merge and the existence of a DOTR). The delay between the arrival at the emergency department and transfer to the operating room, as well as the mortality are evaluated.
