Encountering pelvic tuberculosis in closed pelvic ring injury with distant wound - An intraoperative surprise: A case report.

Delayed presentation of closed APC type III pelvic ring injury with a healing wound on the medial thigh, in a twenty-six-year-old male, at four weeks. We planned Symphyseal plating and sacroiliac screw fixation surgery. After percutaneous screw fixation, subsequent pelvic exposure revealed whitish cheesy pus in the retropubic space.

Acute on Chronic Osteomyelitis of the Humerus - A Case Report on a Neglected Case of Chronic Osteomyelitis with Bone Cement In Situ.

Introduction: Chronic osteomyelitis is the bane of orthopedics. Along with being difficult to treat for surgeons, it also impacts the patient's life immensely, severely restricting their life in all the aspects. Treatment with antibiotic coated cement spacers, which are removed after a duration of 6-8 weeks for the definitive surgery, is a frequently done procedure in conjunction with an adequate debridement of the necrotic tissues and prolonged IV antibiotics.

Cloning, expression and characterization of P1 and NIa proteases from banana bract mosaic virus (BBrMV).

Banana bract mosaic virus (BBrMV) causes the banana bract mosaic disease in banana. It belongs to the genus Potyvirus within the family Potyviridae. To the best of our knowledge apart from BBrMV coat protein gene, there are no reports on cloning, expression and characterization of any other genes from BBrMV.

[The supine coronal midaxillary approach to anterior quadratus lumborum block: case report].

Background: There are various approaches to perform an ultrasound guided Quadratus Lumborum Block (QLB). The lateral, posterior, anterior or trans muscular and subcostal paramedian are the various approaches described for performing a QLB. Each of these blocks are aimed to achieve a maximum spread with high volume and low concentration of local anesthetics.

Malignant epidermoid arising from the third ventricle: A case report.

Background: Third epidermoid tumors are a rare finding. The appearance of these tumors often makes them difficult to diagnose, and thus they require multimodality imaging.

Case Summary: A 48-year-old male patient reported to our hospital with complaints of vomiting and severe headache.

Outcomes of dynamic hip screw augmented with trochanteric wiring for treatment of unstable type A2 intertrochanteric femur fractures.

Background: Posteromedial and greater trochanteric fragments are a major cause of telescoping and medialization of the femoral shaft in an unstable intertrochanteric fracture. This leads to significant limb shortening, fracture collapse in varus position and implant failure, which can be prevented by trochanteric wiring in addition to dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation. The purpose of our study is to assess the outcomes of DHS augmented with trochanteric wiring in unstable type A2 intertrochanteric fractures.

Can antibiotic impregnated cement nail achieve both infection control and bony union in infected diaphyseal femoral non-unions?

Background: Infected non-union is complex and debilitating disorder affecting orthopaedic surgeon and patient in terms of cost and time. Many methods are described in the literature for treatment of infected non-union. Local high concentration of antibiotic and mechanical stability of antibiotic cement impregnated intramedullary nail (ACIIN) proves cost and time effective.

Effectiveness of exchange K-nail and augmented plating in aseptic femoral diaphyseal non-union.

Background: Femoral diaphyseal non-unions present difficult scenario to manage. There are multiple options but most of them still report varying incidences of failure. We combined the principles of augmented plating and exchange nailing and aim to study the effectiveness of this technique.

Analysis of synonymous codon usage bias and phylogeny of coat protein gene in banana bract mosaic virus isolates.

The banana is one of the world's most important livelihood crops. Banana plants are principally infected by four virus species, (genus ), (genus ), (genus ) and (genus ). The objective of this study is to understand the codon usage pattern and phylogeny of coat protein gene in different banana bract mosaic virus (BBrMV) isolates.

Effect of heart failure reversal treatment as add-on therapy in patients with chronic heart failure: A randomized, open-label study.

Objectives: The present study was designed to evaluate effect of heart failure reversal therapy (HFRT) using herbal procedure (panchakarma) and allied therapies, as add-on to standard CHF treatment (SCT) in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients.

Methods: This open-label, randomized study conducted in CHF patients (aged: 25-65 years, ejection fraction: 30-65%), had 3-phases: 1-week screening, 6-week treatment (randomized [1:1] to HFRT+SCT or SCT-alone) and follow-up (12-week). Twice weekly HFRT (60-75min) consisting of snehana (external oleation), swedana (passive heat therapy), hrudaydhara (concoction dripping treatment) and basti (enema) was administered.

Musculoskeletal Pain Management Among Dentists: An Alternative Approach.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the most important occupational health issues in health care workers. Musculoskeletal pain is an occupational health problem for dental professionals, particularly dentists. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) can be helpful in managing and preventing these MSDs.

Anatomic variation of palmaris longus and flexor digitorum superficialis of little finger in Indian population.

Introduction: Palmaris longus and flexor digitorum superficialis of the little finger are highly variable anatomically. The tendons vary in different parts of the globe and different regions of the same country. Many studies have negated an association between the tendons.

Traumatic Fracture in a patient of Osteopoikilosis with Review of Literature.

Introduction: Osteopoikilosis or osteopathia condensans disseminata is a rare hereditary autosomal dominant sclerosing bone dysplasia. Patients are usually asymptomatic and the diagnosis is usually made incidentally on radiographs which show presence of symmetric, multiple, well defined, small ovoid areas of increased radiodensity clustered in peri-articular osseous regions with propensity for epiphyseal and metaphyseal involvement. There are no increased risks of pathological fracture in a case of osteopoikilosis and traumatic fracture healing in a case of osteopoikilosis is similar to fracture occurring in other normal patients.

Extra-osseous tenosynovial chondromatosis of the middle finger: a case report.

Extra-osseous tenosynovial chondromatosis is rare and has a high rate of local recurrence. We report a 23-year-old man who presented with a 6-month history of pain and swelling of the right middle finger and painful limitation of the ring finger flexion secondary to this condition. Surgical exploration revealed multiple loose bodies of varying size arising from the flexor tendon sheath.

Posterior dislocation of shoulder with humeral shaft fracture: a rare case with review of literature.

The posterior dislocation of shoulder with ipsilateral humerus shaft fracture is an extremely rare occurrence, with only six cases reported in literature. High index of suspicion is required for early diagnosis and good results. Another case is described here with up-to-date review of literature.

Pseudo-Acetabulum due to Heterotopic Ossification in a Child with Post Traumatic Neglected Posterior Hip Dislocation.

Introduction: Traumatic neglected dislocations of hip in children are rare entity. Neglected traumatic dislocations of hip in children along with heterotopic ossification are still rare. Post traumatic neglected hip dislocations are to be diagnosed as early as possible and have to be treated with precision and aggression as the outcome of treatment for the same is not predictable.

Use of antibiotic cement-impregnated intramedullary nail in treatment of infected non-union of long bones.

Background: In cases with infected non-union, the primary step is eradication of the infection before attempting to achieve union. Release of antibiotics from the bone cement at a high concentration and its penetration to the surrounding tissues, including cortical and cancellous bone, prompted the use of antibiotic cement in the control of bone infection. The aim of this study is to summarize our experience with the use of antibiotic cement-impregnated intramedullary nail (ACIIN) for control of infection in cases of infected non-union with bone defect.
