K wire migration into spinal canal: an infrequent cause of neurological morbidity - a case report.

Introduction: K wire is one of the most common implants used for fixation of acromioclavicular joint dislocation. The migration of K wire from the AC joint to the spinal canal is a rare occurrence. In this report, the authors present a case of a young adult who presented with weakness of the left upper limb secondary to migration of the K wire from the AC joint to the spinal canal.

Genetic Parameters and Prediction of Genotypic Values for Postharvest Physiological Deterioration Tolerance and Root Traits in Cassava using REML/BLUP.

The study aimed to estimate the genetic parameters and predict the genotypic values of postharvest physiological deterioration and root characteristics in cassava (Manihot esculentaCrantz) using restricted maximum likelihood (REML) and the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP). A total of 76 cassava accessions were evaluated over two growing seasons. The evaluated traits included postharvest physiological deterioration response (PPD), root length (RL), root diameter (RD), root weight (RW), dry matter content (DMC), total starch content (TS) and total sugar content (TSU).

Attenuated kidney oxidative metabolism in young adults with type 1 diabetes.

BACKGROUNDIn type 1 diabetes (T1D), impaired insulin sensitivity may contribute to the development of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) through alterations in kidney oxidative metabolism.METHODSYoung adults with T1D (n = 30) and healthy controls (HCs) (n = 20) underwent hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp studies, MRI, 11C-acetate PET, kidney biopsies, single-cell RNA-Seq, and spatial metabolomics to assess this relationship.RESULTSParticipants with T1D had significantly higher glomerular basement membrane (GBM) thickness compared with HCs.

Knowledge and Practice Regarding Vocal Hygiene Among Teachers of Selected Schools, Kathmandu.

Background: Vocal hygiene (VH) is the practice of taking care of the voice and minimizing strain on it. This comprises avoiding smoking, alcohol, and other harmful substances, remaining hydrated, and practicing proper breathing techniques. This study intended to evaluate the level of knowledge and practices concerning VH.
