Objective: To explore the role of preoperative calcaneal traction in the treatment of Rüedi-Allgöwer II and III Pilon fracture.
Methods: From March 2005 to March 2010, 56 patients with Rüedi-Allgöwer II and III Pilon fracture were treated by calcaneal traction internal fixation on the second phase. There were 42 males and 14 females with an average age of 34.6 years old (ranged 18 to 68). Clinical outcomes were assessed according to Tormette Pilon and tibia fracture standard.
Results: All patients were followed up from 9 to 36 months with an average of 18 months. All fracture obtained bone healing, the time ranged from 4.5 to 8.2 months with a mean of 6.2 months. No deep infection, breakage of internal fixation and other complications occurred. According to Tornetta evaluation criteria,35 cases got excellent results, 18 cases good,and 3 cases fair.
Conclusion: Preoperative calcaneal traction as a temporary fixing measure can provide a good environment for successful operation, and is an essential foundation for recovering functional, painless, load, movable joint.

Introduction: Glaucoma treatment predominantly involves the use of topical anti-glaucoma eye drops, with patient adherence influenced by individual preferences. This study aimed to assess these preferences and highlight the importance of personalized treatment approaches among ophthalmologists.
Methods: This French multicenter, cross-sectional study involved 21 ophthalmologists-members of the Board of Directors of the French Society of Glaucoma-from both public and private practices, who distributed a standardized questionnaire to their patients with glaucoma.

Objective: This study evaluated the effect of sequential therapy with different dosages of Mexidol on the stabilization of glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Material And Methods: The study included 80 patients (160 eyes) with stage II and III POAG, randomized into three groups comparable by age, gender, and distribution of glaucoma stage. All patients received sequential therapy with Mexidol (14 days parenterally followed by 90 days orally).

Introduction: TNM staging systems create prognostic categories by anatomic extent of disease. Whether therapeutically important molecular alterations in NSCLC augment the prognostic information of TNM staging is unclear. To study this, we analyzed molecular data from the ninth edition of the lung cancer staging system.

This study introduces microwave-assisted, Fe(III)-catalyzed ring-opening annulations of isoxazoles, enabling the rapid and selective synthesis of 1,4-diacyl pyrroles and substituted pyridines. By leveraging microwave irradiation and transition metal catalysis, this approach enhances the reaction efficiency, reduces reaction times, and promotes high regioselectivity under mild conditions. Under thermal conditions, the Ru(II) catalyst led to the synthesis of nicotinamide derivatives.

A subset of rectal cancer (RC), <5%, exhibits mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR); the remaining are classified as proficient (pMMR). Reported evidence on differences between dMMR and pMMR RC is limited. In this nationwide Dutch study, we compared patients with dMMR and pMMR stage II/III RC based on patient and tumor characteristics, treatment patterns, and associated outcomes.
