Purpose: The classification of acetabular fractures remains a challenge for the junior radiologist, although he is the first line of diagnosis in Emergency Department. The advantages of three-dimensional reconstructions have yet to be evaluated on a large scale.
Method: A total of 212 fractures were classified according to Letournel and Judet by a senior orthopaedic surgeon, a senior radiologist, and a resident radiologist. The CT scans were first analysed in 2D and then a second time using 2D + 3D reconstructions of the acetabulum excluding the femoral head.
Results: 3D reconstructions improved correct classification not only for the radiologist resident (+ 5%) but also for senior radiologist and orthopaedist (+ 2 and + 3%). 3D reconstructions also more significantly improved the diagnoses of complex fractures (+ 8.3%) compared to simple fractures (+ 0.4%).
Conclusions: 3D reconstructions have improved the routine diagnosis of acetabular fractures, especially for junior radiologist or in cases of complex fractures.

Background: Carinal resection and reconstruction are complex surgical procedures often necessitated by tumors or other pathologies involving the tracheobronchial junction. Traditional approaches to these surgeries are highly invasive. The advent of uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) along with the integration of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) offer potential advantages in reducing surgical trauma and improving outcomes.

Background: Wrist synovitis often leads to persistent pain, swelling, and limited mobility, causing significant functional impairment and psychological distress, including anxiety. Although arthroscopic synovectomy can alleviate physical symptoms, whether it also improves anxiety and the causal relationship between synovitis and anxiety remains unclear.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 44 patients diagnosed with wrist synovitis who underwent arthroscopic synovectomy.

Objective: Proximal gastrectomy (PG) is commonly used to remove proximal gastric cancer leading to gastroesophageal reflux and requires digestive tract reconstruction. This study is to compare the performance of esophagogastrostomy (EG), jejunal interposition (JI), and double tract reconstruction (DTR) on post-PG reconstruction effectiveness.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using the clinical data of 94 PG patients who underwent digestive tract reconstruction by EG (37 patients), JI (29 patients) or DTR (28 patients).

Background: Tea-oil Camellia within the genus Camellia is renowned for its premium Camellia oil, often described as "Oriental olive oil". So far, only one partial mitochondrial genomes of Tea-oil Camellia have been published (no main Tea-oil Camellia cultivars), and comparative mitochondrial genomic studies of Camellia remain limited.
Results: In this study, we first reconstructed the entire mitochondrial genome of C.

Introduction: Primary axillary hyperhidrosis significantly impacts the quality of life of affected individuals. miraDry, a non-invasive local precisely controlled thermal energy procedure, represents a promising treatment option. This retrospective analysis aimed to evaluate the treatment success and patient safety following miraDry procedure in the treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis.
