Background: Anxiety disorders are commonly associated with a higher risk of fatal cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Anxiety disorders lead to dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, thus weakening the key neuronal components of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) that are involved in cardiovascular functions, leading to increased cardiovascular risk.
Purpose: Impaired ANS activity, as reduced parasympathetic tone is strongly associated with an increased risk of CVD in anxiety disorders.
Article Synopsis
- Acromioclavicular joint injuries are relatively common, particularly in adults, but rare in children, leading to various surgical options, including arthroscopic techniques.
- The case report describes an innovative arthroscopic-assisted fixation technique used on a 9-year-old girl with a fracture dislocation of the left AC joint, emphasizing stabilization through fiber tape and a mini-incision.
- The conclusion highlights the procedure's benefits, such as lower implant costs and no need for metal anchors, while noting the challenges associated with the learning curve for such techniques.
The incidence of a subscapularis tear combined with any other rotator cuff tear is around 19% to 49% among all rotator cuff lesions. On the contrary, less attention has been given to the treatment of anterosuperior rotator cuff tears, particularly by arthroscopic methods. Subscapularis lesions are hard to access and require advanced surgical technique along with optimum visualization to achieve an anatomic repair.

The present study aimed to develop a scale for the assessment of the severity of SUDs in the Indian clinical context.
Methods: Based upon the review of literature on previously available instruments and a consultative meeting of experts, a clinician-rated scale was developed that finally comprised 41 items.
Purpose: To evaluate the surface, compositional, and histological changes in the overlying soft tissues of retrieved stainless-steel mini-plates and screws used for rigid internal fixation in the maxillofacial skeleton.
Materials And Method: A prospective study was conducted comprising 60 patients who sustained maxillofacial trauma and underwent ORIF in our unit previously and who required hardware retrieval in the post-operative phase. The retrieved hardware was evaluated for surface and compositional changes with the help of a scanning electron microscope for surface roughness and corrosion changes.
