Article Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze conservative treatments implemented to manage positional plagiocephaly in infants.
Methods: This is a systematic review conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, performed in the Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases. Articles were selected according to the eligibility criteria, regarding the effectiveness of conservative treatments in positional plagiocephaly in infants, published in the last 10 years with a score ≥3 in the PEDro Scale.
Results: A total of 318 articles were identified and 9 of them were finally selected.
Conclusions: Physical therapy treatment is considered as the first line of intervention in plagiocephaly with non-synostotic asymmetries and manual therapy is the method that obtains the best results within this intervention. In cases of moderate or severe plagiocephaly, helmet therapy can be an effective second-line intervention; however, the best way to prevent this condition is through counseling of parents or caregivers, and early treatment is essential for optimal therapeutic outcomes. The review was registered in PROSPERO (CDR42022306466).

Fracture of the medial tubercle of the posterior process of the talus in a futsal player. A rare fracture successfully treated conservatively.

Talus is the second largest bone in the posterior region of the foot and participates in the talocrural (ankle), subtalar, and talonavicular joints. Talar fractures account for only one percent of all feet and ankle fractures, being the fracture of the medial tubercle of the posterior process of the talus an uncommon injury, caused by the rupture of the posterior talotibial ligament after dorsiflexion and traumatic pronation. Such fractures may not be radiographically evident, as described in this rare case of fracture of the medial tubercle of the posterior process of the talus with a satisfactory outcome without the need for surgical treatment.

Introduction: Whilst aortic stenosis remains the most prevalent valvular abnormality, the management of asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis remains a clinical challenge. Recently, two randomised-controlled trials (RCTs) - EVOLVED (Early Intervention in Patients With Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis and Myocardial Fibrosis) and Early TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic-Valve Replacement for Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis) - have been published, alongside an extended follow-up from the AVATAR (Aortic Valve Replacement Versus Conservative Treatment in Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis) study.
Evidence Acquisition: In response, we conducted a systematic review of PubMed, Ovid, and Cochrane databases, identifying RCTs up to October 29, 2024, that compared early intervention with conventional management.

Background And Aims: The incidence of acute pancreatitis is increasing in the Western world. About 10% of cases are caused by hypertriglyceridemia. Plasmapheresis was shown to reduce serum triglyceride (TG) levels, and current apheresis guidelines recommend its use in severe acute hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis (HIP).
