The goal of this study was to evaluate the results of arthroscopic calcaneoplasty for the treatment of posterior calcaneal bursitis and Haglund's disease. The study involved 28 patients who underwent 30 arthroscopic surgeries for Haglund's disease from 2015 to 2019. Retrocalcanealneoplasty and supracalcaneoplasty were performed using a shaver, an ablator; with the help of a drill, the bone was resected until the contact in the Achilles tendon was eliminated in the position of dorsiflexion of the foot. All patients were discharged the next day and allowed full leg load in the second week after surgery. The AOFAS (American Orthopedic Society for Foot and Ankle Surgery) and VAS scores were calculated, and the patient's condition was estimated. Results: The average follow-up was 58.4 months. The AOFAS scores significantly improved from the average 52.6 to 98.6 at the final estimation (p˂0.005). All patients were satisfied with the result of the surgery. VAS scores were low. Conclusion: Arthroscopic calcaneoplasty has proven to be a safe and effective surgical method for the treatment of posterior calcaneal bursitis and Haglund's disease.

Introduction: Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and the fourth most common cause of cancer-related death. Two molecular subtyping classifications were recently introduced: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Asian Cancer Research Group (ACRG) classifications.
Methods: We classified a cohort of 283 gastric cancer patients undergoing surgery at Helsinki University Hospital between 2000 and 2009.

Background: There is lack of knowledge on the utility of prognostic histopathologic characteristics in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the head and neck. We evaluated the prognostic value of tumor and stroma-related histopathologic features in ACC.
Materials And Methods: A total of 65 cases of ACC from minor and major salivary glands were included in this study.
Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) function as biomarkers and are crucial in cell communication and regulation, with therapeutic potential for intervertebral disc (IVD)-related low back pain (LBP). EV cargo is often affected by tissue health, which may affect the therapeutic potential. There is currently limited knowledge of how the cargo of IVD cell-derived EVs varies with tissue health and how differences in proteomic profile affect the predicted biological functions.

Introduction: Here, we report the first case of a soft tissue tumor with a fusion.
Case Presentation: The patient was an 11-year-old female presenting with a 5 cm intramuscular mass in the lower leg. Microscopic examination revealed a mitotically active spindle cell lesion with monomorphic and moderately atypical cells growing in a patternless pattern with the presence of stromal and perivascular keloidal collagen with focal immunoreactivity for smooth muscle actin and S100; negative stains included cytokeratins, CD34, and caldesmon.
