The scaphoid is the most common of the carpal bones to fracture; upper limb fractures are associated in 5-10% of cases, and around 2% of the concomitant fractures are of the distal radius. One case of bilateral carpal scaphoid fractures associated with bilateral distal radius fractures is presented. Radiographs showed displaced Salter-Harris Type II radius fracture and nondisplaced transverse midscaphoid fracture on both sides. Conservative treatment with scaphoid casts on both arms was inconvenient ...

In the common split liver technique the liver is divided between the right lobe, to be transplanted to an adult, and the left lateral segment, to be transplanted to a small child. We have developed an alternative technique by which the cadaver donor liver is divided in its two anatomo-functional halves, both apt to be transplanted to adults or children of adult size. We have so far used this technique in three multi organ donors, generating, six liver grafts that we transplanted to six recipients ...

Gastric cancer is a deadly disease. Common sites of distant metastasis of gastric cancer are the peritoneum, liver, lymph nodes, and lung. The breast is a rare site of metastasis in gastric cancer which occurs in males dominantly.Here, we report the first case of metastatic gastric cancer to the breast in a patient with the breast cancer 2 (BRCA2) germline mutation. A 34-year-old female was admitted to the hospital with dyspepsia and a palpable mass in the left breast. Gastric cancer was confirmed ...

Because this muscular arch causes difficulties in staging lymph nodes, axillary surgery, thoracic outlet syndrome, shoulder instability or cosmetic problems, it should be kept in mind for axillary pathologies.Key Words: Axillary Muscular archthoracic outlet syndrome Additional informationNotes on contributorsZ.

AbstractPAA is a predominantly male disease, more than 90% of affected patients are men. Riskfactors for amputation are poor run-off, use of a synthetic graft, emergency treatment and high age. The frequency of amputation decreased over time in Sweden, which was associated with increased use of preoperative thrombolysis and fasciotomy. Thrombolysis can transform an emergent into an elective situation, and often improves out-flow. The risk of late amputation is low. Operation with a Posterior approach ...

This part also provides the most recent figures for Belgium. The feminisation has an important impact on "service volume". Female physicians will produce fewer medical services than men.

A 63-year-old male presented with a bilateral breast carcinoma. Both axillae showed metastases. The patient was treated with a bilateral modified breast amputation. Study of the literature shows that synchronous bilateral breast cancer in males is uncommon. Even in a male with changing breast tissue a carcinoma has to be considered. In male breast cancer, adherence to diagnostic and treatment guidelines for female breast cancer is generally advocated. In males, hormonal causes have to be excluded.
