Can an open displaced tibial fracture be treated without surgery? a treatment discussion: a case report

The authors present a case of a 70-year-old female with left tibial open fracture (Gustillo-Anderson type II) with previous history of trauma of the same limb, from which resulted a Morel-Lavallée injury complicated with extensive tissue necrosis. Considering the sequel condition of soft tissues (scarring and extensive fibrosis), conservative treatment was taken and successful result was achieved. In this case the biggest concern was not the traumatic tissue damage caused by the fall, but the poor quality of tissues already existent before this event. Although surgical treatment is the gold standard in these cases, we must analyze case by case the risk benefit of each procedure and choose the one we believe is the best for the patient

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle in an adult: case report and literature review

A 27 years old male, presented with a bump over the middle third of is right clavicle and a foreshortened shoulder girdle causing a severe deformity. Radiographs revealed a Congenital pseudarthrosis of the clavicle (CPC). A resection of the pseudarthrosis was carried and internal fixation with a reconstruction plate was done using iliac graft. One year after he was asymptomatic, without any functional impairment and very satisfied with the final cosmetic result. There is no consensus about optimal treatment. We present a rare case of surgical in an adult patient, and demonstrate why treatment must be individualized and surgical associated complications must be discussed

The rare isolated adult Chaput-Tillaux fracture: two case reports and review of the literature

The authors present two isolated chaput-tillaux fractures in an adult skeleton. A high level of suspicion is required to prevent diagnostic failure. Computerized tomography scan detects hidden fractures and enables a more detailed preoperative assessment of each case. Most of the cases reported in the literature are associated with other ankle lesions. This typical juvenile pattern is rare in the adults and ideal treatment is yet to be determined.

Una mirada interdisciplinar sobre los retos actuales de la infancia en un mundo globalizado (RETIN)

El concepto de infancia ha ido evolucionando a lo largo de la historia. En el siglo XX, especialmente en sus últimos años, se ha prestado mayor atención al desenvolvimiento de los seres humanos en esta etapa de la vida, atención que se ha concretado, entre otras cuestiones, en el interés creciente hacia los derechos de la infancia. En 1989 este proceso se ve reforzado por la aprobación de la Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos de los niños y las niñas, que reconoce a las personas menores de 18 años de edad derechos civiles, sociales, económicos, culturales y políticos, derechos de ciudadanía en suma para el colectivo infantil, considerado previamente como puro objeto de protección. En el ámbito de las ciencias sociales se ha producido también una transformación. Desde un enfoque sociológico se considera que la infancia es un espacio temporal en la trayectoria de vida de las personas, y también el espacio social definido para el desarrollo de la vida de los niños. Se reconoce que también los niños, como grupo social, no sólo pueden actuar, sino que actúan de hecho, y se relacionan con los demás grupos sociales, modificando, construyendo y contribuyendo a los cambios que se producen en la sociedad. En este marco, el objetivo del presente proyecto es la elaboración y difusión de materiales audiovisuales pedagógicos basados en entrevistas sobre los retos actuales de la infancia en un mundo globalizado, como son: cuidados en la ciudad, infancia migrante no acompañada, desigualdades socioeconómicas, nuevas tecnologías y género

NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the Neotropics

Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos, 10 anteaters, and 6 sloths. Our data set includes the families Chlamyphoridae (13), Dasypodidae (7), Myrmecophagidae (3), Bradypodidae (4), and Megalonychidae (2). We have no occurrence data on Dasypus pilosus (Dasypodidae). Regarding Cyclopedidae, until recently, only one species was recognized, but new genetic studies have revealed that the group is represented by seven species. In this data paper, we compiled a total of 42,528 records of 31 species, represented by occurrence and quantitative data, totaling 24,847 unique georeferenced records. The geographic range is from the southern United States, Mexico, and Caribbean countries at the northern portion of the Neotropics, to the austral distribution in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. Regarding anteaters, Myrmecophaga tridactyla has the most records (n = 5,941), and Cyclopes sp. have the fewest (n = 240). The armadillo species with the most data is Dasypus novemcinctus (n = 11,588), and the fewest data are recorded for Calyptophractus retusus (n = 33). With regard to sloth species, Bradypus variegatus has the most records (n = 962), and Bradypus pygmaeus has the fewest (n = 12). Our main objective with Neotropical Xenarthrans is to make occurrence and quantitative data available to facilitate more ecological research, particularly if we integrate the xenarthran data with other data sets of Neotropical Series that will become available very soon (i.e., Neotropical Carnivores, Neotropical Invasive Mammals, and Neotropical Hunters and Dogs). Therefore, studies on trophic cascades, hunting pressure, habitat loss, fragmentation effects, species invasion, and climate change effects will be possible with the Neotropical Xenarthrans data set. Please cite this data paper when using its data in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers inform us of how they are using these data
