Recurrent anterior instability of the shoulder associated with coracoid fracture - An unusual presentation.

Recurrent anterior shoulder instability following shoulder dislocation has an incidence as high as 68% among the younger population, however its association with coracoid fracture is extremely rare. Majority of coracoid fractures reported earlier have been shown to be associated with seizure disorder. We report a case of displaced coracoid fracture associated with recurrent anterior instability in a patient with no history of seizure disorder and its implications in causation as well as management are discussed.

Gene Expression Profiling of Tuberculous Meningitis Co-infected with HIV.

Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a fatal form of infection of the central nervous system (CNS). The similarities in the clinical and radiological findings in TBM cases with or without HIV make the diagnosis very challenging. Identification of genes, which are differentially expressed in brain tissues of HIV positive and HIV negative TBM patients, would enable better understanding of the molecular aspects of the infection and would also serve as an initial platform to evaluate potential biomarkers.
