Enhancing Mobility: Surgical Deformity Correction and Rehabilitation in Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy Type 2.

Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy (EDMD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by muscle weakness, joint contractures, and cardiac dysfunction. Within this spectrum, EDMD Type 2, attributed to a heterozygous missense variant in exon 9 of the LMNA gene, presents a distinctive clinical profile. This case report details the presentation and management of a teenage girl displaying neck, trunk, upper and lower limb weakness, Achilles tendon contracture, and lordosis.

A study on zoonotic tuberculosis in selected rural areas of Bagalkot and Belgaum districts of Karnataka state.

The close association of cattle/buffaloes to farmers and their family members is a well-known phenomenon in rural India. Cattle are major contributors to the income for the sustenance of families, and for many landless farmers, often the only source of livelihood. The animals are sheltered under the same roof where the family members sleep, cook and eat.

Proximal femoral focal deficiency associated with fibular duplication and diplopodia and complete agenesis of the tibia: a case report.

A 14-year-old boy reported with congenital deformity of the left lower limb, with gross shortening, hip and knee flexion deformities, ankle with equinus deformity, and polydactyly of the left foot. Radiologic examination showed proximal femoral focal deficiency, double fibula, and duplication of the tarsal bones, and a diagnosis of 'proximal femoral focal deficiency associated with fibular duplication and diplopodia with complete agenesis of tibia' was made. Such association of deformities is very rare and poses difficulties in rehabilitation of the case.

Infraclavicular coracoid approach brachial plexus block for radial club hand repair.

Background: Radial club hand is a congenital deformity in which the radius is absent, the metacarpophylangeal and interphalayngeal joints are fused and muscles arising from the radius are absent. This can alter the motor response to peripheral nerve stimulation. The classical motor response to median nerve stimulation (contractions of the fingers) cannot be elicited, hence fine twitches in the hand, at the wrist or in the surgical area or pronation-supination at a current of 0.
