This paper presents two patients who sustained spontaneous closed Achilles tendon ruptures following minimally invasive ultrasonic energy therapy for non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy. In both cases, the patients underwent minimally invasive ultrasonic energy therapy using a commercially available device. In addition, the current evidence, through available literature, has been reviewed and presented.

Objectives: This study aimed to introduce a new arthroscopic method for reconstructing the popliteus tendon (PT). This minimally invasive technique is performed through the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee, which can reconstruct the posterolateral rotary instability (PLRI) of the knee.
Methods: Thirty-nine patients (8 females, 31 males) with PLC injury and normal knee alignment underwent arthroscopic PT reconstruction.

Objectives: Investigate the immediate resonance magnetic image changes undergone by the lumbar canal after indirect decompression and compare them at one-year post-intervention. We also investigate the clinical outcome of indirect decompression at one-year follow-up.
Methods: Imaging changes in patients who underwent indirect lumbar decompression and percutaneous posterior fixation were analyzed with one-year follow-up.

Background: Gastric bezoars are indigestible masses that can lead to gastrointestinal obstruction and ulceration. Standard treatments include endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy with a polypectomy snare and Coca-Cola dissolution therapy or a combination of both approaches. However, giant bezoars frequently require multiple treatment sessions and extended hospital stays.

Introduction: Osteosarcoma (OS), a prevalent metastatic cancer among young individuals, is associated with a grim prognosis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), including C1QTNF1-AS1, are pivotal regulators of cancer cell proliferation and motility. As an oncogene, C1QTNF1-AS1 is implicated in various tumor types, such as colorectal, pancreatic, hepatocellular carcinomas, and OS.

Background: Breast cancer remains a leading cause of mortality among women, driven by the molecular complexity of its various subtypes. This study aimed to investigate the differential expression of genes and miRNAs involved in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, a critical regulator of cancer progression.
Methods: We analyzed tumor tissues from five breast cancer subtypes-luminal A, luminal B HER2-negative, luminal B HER2-positive, HER2-positive, and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)-and compared them with non-cancerous tissues.
