We report the case of a parascapular abscess revealing primary tuberculosis of the posterior arch in a 31-year-old man. Sectional imaging is essential in order to detect the different lesions of this atypical spinal tuberculosis as osteolysis of the posterior arch extendible to vertebral body, osteocondensation, epidural extension which is common in this location, and high specificity of a zygapophysial, costo-vertebral or transverse arthritis.

Iliosacral screw osteosynthesis - state of the art.

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, University Medical Center Mainz, Mainz, Germany.
Iliosacral screw osteosynthesis is a widely recognized technique for stabilizing unstable posterior pelvic ring injuries, offering notable advantages, including enhanced mechanical stability, minimal invasiveness, reduced blood loss, and lower infection rates. However, the procedure presents technical challenges due to the complex anatomy of the sacrum and the proximity of critical neurovascular structures. While conventional fluoroscopy remains the primary method for intraoperative guidance, precise preoperative planning using multiplanar reconstructions and three-dimensional volume rendering is crucial for ensuring accurate placement of iliosacral or transsacral screws.

Background Indirect pulp capping (IDPC) is a preferred treatment for pulp preservation in primary teeth. However, the survival rate of IDPC in primary teeth and impact factors is still equivocal.Aims To evaluate the survival rate of IDPC in primary teeth with a deep carious lesion approximating the pulp but without irreversible pulpitis or periapical disease.

Three-dimensional morphometry of the human thoracic aorta using centerline analysis based on least-squares plane fitting.
JTCVS Open
December 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Seirei Mikatahara General Hospital, Hamamatsu, Japan.
Objective: A novel approach to 3-dimensional morphometry of the thoracic aorta was developed by applying centerline analysis based on least-squares plane fitting, and a preliminary study was conducted using computed tomography imaging data.
Methods: We retrospectively compared 3 groups of patients (16 controls without aortic disease, and 16 cases each with acute type B aortic dissection and congenital bicuspid aortic valve). In addition to the standard assessment indices for curvature κ and torsion τ, we conducted coordinate transformation based on the least-squares plane, divided the centerline into 3 representative features (transverse, anterior-posterior, and longitudinal displacements), and analyzed the overall and local displacement in each direction.
