Hip abductors are essential for hip function. To understand abduction weakness, it is important to know which muscles contribute to abduction force. Our aim was to investigate the effects of an experimentally induced weakness of the different muscles (tensor fasciae latae [TFL], gluteus medius and minimus (Gmed/min), gluteus maximus [Gmax]) on the abduction force.

Purpose: To analyse the clinical and histological characteristics of breast cancers (BC) occurring after Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), as well as their outcome with particular attention to the effectiveness and safety of breast-conservative surgery with radiation therapy (RT).
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study of 218 patients who developed stage 0 to III BC after treatment for mediastinal HL between 1951 and 2022. Comprehensive demographic, clinical, and therapeutic data were collected for HL and BC, as well as survival and locoregional control.

Objectives: Pressurized IntraThoracic Aerosol Chemotherapy (PITAC) has been suggested as a new therapy for patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) and/or pleural metastasis (PLM). The patients have a poor prognosis with a median survival of 3 to 12 months. We present feasibility, patient safety, and cytological/histological response assessment in PITAC-treated patients with MPE and/or PLM.

Perioperative and critical care management following penetrating thoracic trauma represents a complex challenge. Those who survive the early trauma approach and reach the hospital alive often remain in critical condition, with cardiocirculatory complications and major pulmonary injuries. Additional difficulty arises from the presence of a weapon , particularly in a dorsal location, which limits patient positioning, and the safe manipulation of both the weapon and the patient.

Background: This study evaluated the results of total hip arthroplasty (THA) via the direct anterior approach (DAA) in the lateral decubitus position combined with acetabular reconstruction via a bulk autograft for patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (Crowe III and IV).
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to analyse 16 patients (16 hips) with Crowe type III and IV developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) who underwent THA from June 2016 to July 2021. We recorded and analysed variables such as age, sex, height, body mass index (BMI), length of surgical incision, duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, Harris hip score, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, lower limb length, and pelvic radiograph analysis.
