Fetal Appendiceal Perforation Masquerading as Meconium Peritonitis: A Report of a Rare Case.

Intrauterine appendicular perforation leading to meconium peritonitis is exceptionally rare, with few reported cases in the literature. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges and high mortality associated with neonatal appendicular perforation. Neonatal appendicitis and subsequent perforation are uncommon due to the funnel shape of the fetal appendix, which reduces susceptibility to luminal obstruction.

Functional and Radiological Outcomes of Unstable Proximal Femur Fractures Fixed With Anatomical Proximal Locking Compression Plate.

Introduction Peritrochanteric fractures are the most frequent fractures of the proximal femur that accounts for nearly half of all proximal femur fractures. They are a major cause of disability in the elderly. The aim is to study the functional and radiological outcome of unstable proximal femur fractures fixed with proximal femur locking compression plate (PF-LCP) and its complications.

Using handpicked features in conjunction with ResNet-50 for improved detection of COVID-19 from chest X-ray images.

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that majorly cause respiratory disorders in humans. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a new strain of coronavirus that causes the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). WHO has identified COVID-19 as a pandemic as it has spread across the globe due to its highly contagious nature.

Functional Outcome of Elbow Kinematics in Radial Head Excision Versus Radial Head Replacement: A Comparative Study.

Background: Radial head fractures are quite common with incidence 1.5-4% of all adult fractures. The treatment for these fractures depends upon age, type of injury and whether the physics is closed or not.

The Evaluation of the Radiological and Functional Outcome of Distraction Osteogenesis in Patients with Infected Gap Nonunions of Tibia Treated by Bone Transport.

Aim: The aims of this investigation were: 1) to study the Functional outcome of performing distraction osteogenesis in cases of infected non-union of tibia treated with Ilizarov and Limb Reconstruction System, and 2) to study the Radiological outcome of performing distraction osteogenesis in cases of infected non-union of tibia treated with Ilizarov and Limb Reconstruction System.

Methods: The study was done with 27 patients of infected gap nonunions of the tibia at Sir JJ Hospitals, Mumbai from 2013-2016. After implant removal, if required radical resection of necrotic tissue and fractures were stabilised with Ilizarov or mono-lateral fixator depending on non-union site.
