Dengue fever (DF) is an epidemic viral mosquito-borne infection limited to tropical and subtropical countries. Biological therapies have been frequently used for the last 15 years in the treatment of inflammatory rheumatic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. However, no data is available regarding the characteristics of this infection in patients on biological therapy.

We present the case of a 21-year-old male who came to the emergency ward for a thorax bullet wound. At our first check-up, the computed tomography (CT)-scan showed a pulmonary contusion, a hemothorax and a suspicious image of a thoracic aortic wound. The patient was stable, but soon after admission a distal ischemic syndrome appeared which revealed the emboli of the projectile.

Conservative treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures may lead to re-rupture. Open surgical repair entails a risk of skin necrosis or infection. Several percutaneous techniques have been used, such as Tenolig or Achillon, but these techniques are costly and may be marred by wound healing problems.

Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the causes and risk factors for ocular complications following spine surgery, suggesting that these issues are more common than previously thought and primarily arise from mechanisms like ocular compression and internal carotid thromboembolism.
- - A survey of 28 French orthopedic centers identified 17 patients with visual deficits post-surgery, finding that compression led to unilateral blindness in some cases and ischemic optic neuropathy in others due to head positioning.
- - To reduce the risk of these complications, the authors recommend changes to the design of headrests and careful handling of head positioning during surgery, particularly for patients with carotid artery issues.
