A computational study on the structure and stability of different series of glyphosate (Glyph) dimers comprising nonionized (N) and zwitterionic structures (Z) for neutral monomers, followed by an analysis of energetics of Glyph dimerization process have been performed by means of quantum chemical calculations in different media. Optimized geometries for energy minima, as well as relative potential and free energies of the possible various conformers of each series of Glyph dimer were computed as a function of the medium at B3LYP-D3/6-311++G(2d,2p) level. The solvation model based on density (SMD) is employed for all solution phase computations.

Purpose: Displaced supracondylar humerus fractures in children are known for their high rate of complications and require urgent surgical treatment. Basically, there are two methods of fracture fixation: the lateral pin technique and the crossed pin technique. However, the best technique remains debated.

Article Synopsis
  • High-pressure injection injuries to the hand are rare but can be extremely serious, often requiring immediate surgical attention.
  • These injuries can be misleading at first, appearing less severe than they actually are, which can lead to delays in diagnosis.
  • There is a general lack of awareness among people about the potential severity of these injuries, contributing to the difficulty in recognizing them early on.
