Background: Current data on the rates of macrosomia in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are heterogenous. No study has specifically examined macrosomia rates in women with diet-controlled gestational diabetes.
Aims: To compare the rates of macrosomia between mothers with diet-controlled GDM to mothers without diabetes mellitus.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how quickly emergency general surgical patients are managed and transferred in a rural setting in North-Eastern Victoria.
- The research reviews data from 649 surgical patients over a two-year period, focusing on key metrics like time from decision to surgery and interhospital transfer delays.
- Results indicate that while surgical timing is generally efficient, non-trauma patient transfers take longer due to lack of established protocols and bed shortages in tertiary hospitals.
Zones of hypovascularity are thought to exist in several tendons of the shoulder, contributing to localized tendon weakness and subsequent rupture in clinical practice. Although these zones have been demonstrated in many frequently ruptured tendons, the existence of a similar area in the often ruptured long head of biceps (LHB) tendon is largely unknown. Twenty cadaveric upper limb specimens were dissected after injection with either a radio-opaque lead oxide/milk mixture or India ink, followed by histological sectioning of the tendons.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFlexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) is an ever-present muscle of the anterior flexor compartment of the forearm. Variations of FCU are uncommon, with additional slips or heads of muscles described, and only one reported case of an accessory muscle. We describe a unique clinical case report in which an accessory FCU was identified and describe the findings of 5,000 cadaveric dissections of the forearm, performed as part of an ongoing institutional study of anatomical variations.
