Inequalities in anemia among Peruvian children aged 6-59 months: A decomposition analysis.

Objective: To quantify the inequalities of anemia in Peruvian children aged 6-59 months and uncover its contributing factors.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study based on the secondary data analysis of the 2021 Peruvian Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). Our sample included Peruvian children aged 6-59 months with complete data for the variables of interest.

Factors associated with unwanted additional fertility: secondary analysis of a national survey in Peru.

Objectives: To determine the association between sociodemographic and reproductive factors with unwanted additional fertility (UAF) in Peru.

Materials And Methods: We carried out an observational, cross-sectional analytical study based on the 2018 Demographic and Family Health Survey (DHS) in Peru. The UAF variable was defined as the numerical difference between the general fertility rate and the total fertility rate.

A Mathematical Method for Electromyography Analysis of Muscle Functions during Yogasana.

Context: For the past few decades, the number of people practicing yoga is increasing in number. Yogasanas need smooth body movements in the process of attaining defined postures that the person must hold on to activate specific muscles of the body related to that asana. Yogasanas should be performed with perfection to derive maximum benefits.

Treatment Modality and Quality Benchmarks of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage at a Comprehensive Stroke Center.

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is the most severe type of stroke. In 2012, the Joint Commission, in collaboration with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA), launched the Advanced Certification for Comprehensive Stroke Centers (CSCs). This new level of certification was designed to promote higher standard of care for patients with complex stroke.

Central Nervous System Fungal Infection and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Children: What is the Optimal Duration of Antifungal Therapy?

Invasive fungal infections are rare in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It compromises the antileukemia therapy should it happen. Central nervous system fungal infections carry high mortality.

Patellar instability in Indian population: relevance of tibial tuberosity and trochlear groove distance.

Introduction: The tibial tuberosity to trochlear groove (TTTG) distance in the western population is extensively studied through various modalities such as X-rays, computerised tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. However, to our knowledge there is very little or no literature support to indicate that TTTG distance has been studied in the Indian population.

Methods: We therefore undertook a study to measure the TTTG distance in 100 MRI scans of normal Indian knees.

PHACE syndrome in antenatally diagnosed posterior fossa anomaly.

PHACE is a neurocutaneous syndrome, an acronym to describe patients with facial segmental hemangiomas and other malformations. We describe a newborn antenatally diagnosed to have posterior fossa anomaly and subsequently as PHACE syndrome.

Time to tenure in Spanish universities: an event history analysis.

Understanding how institutional incentives and mechanisms for assigning recognition shape access to a permanent job is important. This study, based on data from questionnaire survey responses and publications of 1,257 university science, biomedical and engineering faculty in Spain, attempts to understand the timing of getting a permanent position and the relevant factors that account for this transition, in the context of dilemmas between mobility and permanence faced by organizations. Using event history analysis, the paper looks at the time to promotion and the effects of some relevant covariates associated to academic performance, social embeddedness and mobility.

To study the incidence of heterotopic ossification after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Introduction: Previous studies have enumerated the advantages of an arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction with the use of a Bone Patellar Tendon Bone (BPTB) graft. Complications are extremely rare in such surgeries and one such known complication, which is an extra-articular heterotophic ossification at the femoral tunnel site, is rarely seen only in few patients.

Aim: To evaluate the incidence of heterotrophic ossifications at the femoral tunnel site and the efficacy of the preventive measures which were undertaken, in patients who had undergone ACL reconstructions with the use of bone patellar tendon bone grafts.

Early diagnosis of delayed vascular injury associated with revision total hip arthroplasty.

We describe a case report where the acetabular prosthesis migrated medially into the pelvis over a period of four years, following revision hip arthroplasty. This was an acute on chronic progressive displacement that caused a slow bleed from the left external iliac artery. Contrast computed tomography is the investigation of choice to diagnose such an injury and demonstrate the slow bleed as opposed to digital subtraction angiography (DSA) arteriogram.
