Evaluating Outcomes of Step-Cut Osteotomy for Pediatric Cubitus Deformities.

Introduction: Supracondylar fractures in children often result in malunion and subsequent cubitus varus or valgus deformity. While often considered cosmetic, these deformities can lead to pain, functional impairment, and other complications. Corrective osteotomy is a common treatment option, with step-cut osteotomy being a preferred method due to its effectiveness and relative simplicity.

Management of Thoracolumbar Spinal Tuberculosis by Decompression and Posterior Stabilization with Pedicle Screw Fixation.

Introduction: Spinal tuberculosis (TB) is a significant health problem. While chemotherapy is the primary treatment, surgery is necessary in some cases. This study investigates the posterior approach for treating thoracolumbar spinal TB with neurological involvement.

Role of Image-guided Platelet-rich Plasma Injection in the Management of Patients of Supraspinatus Tendon Tear.

Introduction: Supraspinatus tendinopathy is a common reason for shoulder pain, with or without an associated cuff tear. Various modalities of treatment have been described in literature such as physiotherapy, analgesics, corticosteroid injection, surgical repair (open or arthroscopic), and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection. Recently, there has been an increasing trend of PRP injection for rotator cuff arthropathy.

Engineering of Impact Ionization Characteristics in GaAs/GaAsBi Multiple Quantum Well Avalanche Photodiodes.

The presence of large bismuth (Bi) atoms has been shown to increase the spin-orbit splitting energy in bulk GaAsBi, reducing the hole ionization coefficient (β) and thereby reducing the excess noise seen in avalanche photodiodes. In this study, we show that even very thin layers of GaAsBi introduced as quantum wells (QWs) in a GaAs matrix exhibit a significant reduction of β while leaving the electron ionization coefficient, α, largely unchanged. The optical and avalanche multiplication properties of a series of GaAsBi/GaAs multiple quantum well (MQW) p-i-n structures with nominally 5 nm thick, 4.

Modified surelift anterior-apical transvaginal mesh for advanced urogenital prolapse: Retrospective surgical, functional and sonographic outcomes at 3 years.

Objective: This study evaluates the outcomes of modified transvaginal mesh (TVM) Surelift in managing advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP) over a 3-year follow-up period, focusing on surgical success, functional improvement, and sonographic findings.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 99 women who underwent Surelift System surgery for advanced POP Stage III and IV between July 2018 to January 2020. Objective evaluation included Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q), multichannel urodynamic (UDS), and introital 2D ultrasonographic measurement.
