Background: A giant encephalocele associated with Chiari malformation is a rare congenital anomaly from a cephalad neural tube defect. Early prenatal diagnosis and parental counseling are essential; as early surgical intervention can improve outcomes.
Methods: Between 2010 and 2023, twenty-seven newborns out of 43,815 delivered at our institution were diagnosed with encephaloceles, including seven cases of giant encephalocele associated with Chiari malformation type III.

Proximal femoral fractures are particularly common in older adults, and cases requiring conversion to total hip arthroplasty may arise because of treatment failure or osteoarthritis. Fractures around the distal screw removal holes can be problematic. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between stem length and femoral stress distribution to determine the optimal stem length.

Cardiovascular diseases increasingly impact youth, with early development of risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, and inadequate nutrient intake. Proper nutrient intake and physical fitness are vital for reducing these risks, especially in pediatric populations. This study explores the connection between physical fitness, metabolic risk, and nutrient status among 1656 Chilean schoolchildren from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.

Morphometric measurements of the toe serve as a reference for the objective assessment of the presence of a pathological condition and as a guide for the correct trimming of the hooves. Therefore, the anatomical differences between horses and donkeys oblige an autonomous database with reference values for the donkey. The aim of this study was therefore to provide readings of the distal hind limb on radiographs of donkeys.

Unlabelled: This review investigated the psychometric properties of the most commonly used short-, long-, complex- and patient-reported walking outcome measures in multiple sclerosis(MS): the timed-25-foot walk test (T25FW), the six-minute walk test (6MWT), the six-spot step-test (SSST), and the 12-item MS walking scale (MSWS-12), along with reported reference data of these tests.
Methods: Based on PubMed and Embase searches, psychometric as well as descriptive data of T25FW, 6MWT, SSST, and MSWS-12 were extracted from studies evaluating persons with MS (pwMS). Descriptive data was also extracted from healthy controls (HC), if reported.
