Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of The Nepali Version of The Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility Short-Form (Plus-M™/Nepali-12Sf) In Lower Limb Prosthesis Users.

Background: Objective mobility measurement of Nepali prosthesis users is lacking.

Objective: The objective of this study was to cross-culturally adapt, translate and evaluate construct validity of the Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility (PLUS-M™/Nepali-12 Short Form (SF)) instrument in lower limb prosthesis users residing in Nepal.

Methodology: Two forward translations, review and reconciliation, back translation, expert review, developer review to create the PLUS-M™/Nepali-12SF.

Periprosthetic Distal Femoral Fractures Around a Total Knee Arthroplasty: a Meta-analysis Comparing Locking compression Plating and Retrograde Intramedullary Nailing.

Purpose: The number of total knee replacements (TKRs) performed per year has been increasing annually and it is estimated that by 2030 demand would reach 3.48 million procedures per year in the United States Of America. The prevalence of periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) around TKRs has followed this trend with incidences ranging from 0.

GST Pull-Down Assay to Study PIF4 Binding In Vitro.

The phytochrome-interacting factor 4 (PIF4) is a well-known transcription factor that plays a pivotal role in plant thermomorphogenesis, coordinating growth and development in response to temperature changes. As PIF4 functions by forming complexes with other proteins, determining its interacting partners is essential for understanding its diverse roles in plant thermal responses. The GST (glutathione-S-transferase) pull-down assay is a widely used biochemical technique that enables the investigation of protein-protein interactions in vitro.

Helicobacter pylori Infection among Patients Undergoing Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in a Tertiary Care Center.

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative gut bacterium associated with dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer, whose prevalence is still common in developing countries. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is the gold standard, first-line investigation for evaluating gastrointestinal disorders. The aim of the study was to find out the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection among patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in a tertiary care centre.
