Advancing Solar Energy for Primary Healthcare in Developing Nations: Addressing Current Challenges and Enabling Progress Through UNICEF and Collaborative Partnerships.

This comprehensive document explores the intersection of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the global transition to renewable energy, with a particular focus on solar energy. The text emphasizes the critical role of reliable and sustainable energy, especially solar power, in achieving health-related SDGs, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It discusses the challenges faced by healthcare facilities in these regions, emphasizing the importance of uninterrupted electricity for critical medical equipment and services.

A prospective randomized study in 20 patients undergoing bilateral TKA comparing midline incision to anterolateral incision.

Background: Lateral flap numbness is a known side-effect of midline skin incision in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and a cause of patient dissatisfaction. Anterolateral incision is an alternative approach which preserves the infrapatellar branches of the saphenous nerve and avoids numbness. Studies have compared both incisions, but in different patients.

Optimizing effectivity of tranexamic acid in bilateral knee arthroplasty - A prospective randomized controlled study.

Introduction: Tranexamic acid (TEA) is used in reducing surgical blood loss. Literature shows no optimal regimen recommended for Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). We evaluated three TEA regimens differing in dosage, timing and mode of administration in bilateral TKA to identify the most effective regimen to reduce blood loss.

Effect of Preoperative Vitamin D Levels on Functional Performance after Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Background: Low vitamin D levels affects muscle function. Vitamin D and calcium deficiency cause osteomalacic myopathy and poor functional recovery after hip fractures. The relationship of vitamin D and functional performance after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is not previously reported.
