Alendronate for Effective Treatment of Male Osteoporosis : An Insight.

Osteoporosis is a major global health problem. The increase in the incidence of osteoporosis in the elderly poses a challenge to treat and also results in an economic burden for the nation. Osteoporosis has been given more importance in females, and there is an urgent need to address this disease in males.

Thickness-extensible higher order plate theory with enforced C1 continuity for the analysis of PEEK medical implants.

Plate-like structures had been thoroughly studied in literature over years to reduce the computational space from 3D to 2D. Many of these theories suffer either from satisfying the free traction condition or thickness extensibility in addition to the consistency of transverse shear strain energy. This work presents a higher order shear deformation thickness-extensible plate theory (eHSDT) for the analysis of plates.

Idiopathic Capillary Leak Syndrome (Clarkson's Disease): First Reported Case in Oman.

Idiopathic capillary leak syndrome, also known as Clarkson's Disease, is a rare cause of hypovolemic shock that physicians should be aware of. It is characterized by a state of hypovolemia with features of widespread fluid third spacing and poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Here, we present a challenging case of a 36-year-old woman who experienced recurrent episodes of widespread edema and hypovolemic shock symptoms suggestive of capillary leak syndrome.

Anatomical variations of Koerner's septum: a computed tomography-based, single-centered study.

Background: Koerner's septum (KS) is a bony plate located at the junction of the petrous and squamous parts of the temporal bone. The reported prevalence of KS varied between studies. KS variations are associated with various pathologies and pose difficulties during surgeries.
