Background And Objective: With obese individuals experiencing osteoarthritis (OA) at early stages of life, hip resurfacing (HR) has emerged as an alternative to arthroplasty. The purpose is to conduct a short-term analysis on patients with obesity who underwent primary HR for OA compared to a benchmark control group of non-obese patients.
Materials And Methods: Patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2 who underwent HR from 2010 to 2021 were eligible for inclusion.

Tahiti or the "myth of Paradise", Bora Bora, "the Pearl of the Pacific". Who has never wanted to take a plane and come and land on the heavenly beaches of Polynesia, a French territory at the antipodes of mainland France lost in the middle of the Pacific? However, we do not imagine that 60% of Polynesians live below the metropolitan low-income threshold or that life expectancy is lower than that of the mainland due to the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases with three quarters overweight population.In addition to non-transmissible metabolic diseases, various pathologies common to temperate countries present specificities in Polynesia, leading to sometimes different management and medical reasoning.

Myiasis is a parasitic infestation caused by the larvae of dipteran flies, affecting living or necrotic tissues in humans and animals. It is classified into obligatory and facultative forms, depending on the relationship between the parasite and the host. Clinically, myiasis may present as cutaneous, wound, cavity, intestinal, urogenital, or blood-feeding larval infestations.

Background: Outside of classic endemic areas, histoplasmosis has gained attention due to an increased incidence in immunocompetent travellers, attributable to changes in behaviours during travel.
Methods: A cluster of five patients who presented with acute pulmonary histoplasmosis after travelling to the Ecuadorian Amazon Region is described in this article.
Results: Five patients (four females and one male), all in their 20s, presented with acute pulmonary histoplasmosis between sixteen and twenty-three days after the potential airborne exposure after travelling to the Ecuadorian Amazon Region.
