Background: The introduction provides an in-depth understanding of the acetabulum's anatomical structure and its significance in hip joint biomechanics. It highlights the variability in acetabular morphology among normal individuals, emphasizing the importance of establishing normal ranges for accurate diagnosis of acetabular deformities. The section also underscores the role of geographical, racial, and anatomical factors in influencing acetabular parameters, crucial for orthopedic interventions and surgical outcomes like total hip arthroplasty.

Background: To compare various lower pole pelvicalyceal anatomical factors of stone bearing kidney with contralateral normal kidneys and determine whether these factors predispose to stone formation in one kidney.

Methods: A descriptive study was done with Computed Tomography of 54 patients with solitary lower pole calculus in one kidney and normal contralateral kidney were included. Various lower pole pelvicalyceal anatomical factors like infundibulopelvic angle, infundibular width, infundibular length and calyceopelvic height of both stone bearing and contralateral kidneys were measured and compared for any differences Results: The mean infundibular width was 5.

Genitourinary fistulas are a well-recognized complication of various gynecological, obstetrical, and endourological interventions. The incidence of uretero-uterine fistula is very rare compared to other genitourinary fistulas. Few cases are reported in literature regarding the uretero- uterine fistula following manual vacuum aspiration of retained product of placenta.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigates how well Mg-MOF-74 can detect and separate toxic gases like CO, HS, SO, NH, NO, and NO, and examines the stability of these gases on the material.
  • - Researchers used density functional theory through programs like Gaussian-09 and Quantum ESPRESSO to analyze the crystal structure and interaction energies of these gases with Mg-MOF-74.
  • - Findings indicate that CO and HS interact through weak forces (physisorption), while SO, NH, NO, and NO form stronger bonds (chemisorption), with NO showing the highest stability on Mg-MOF-74, making it effective for detecting NO gas.

Background: Patellofemoral pain is the leading cause of knee pain in young adults. Magnetic resonance imaging plays an important role in early diagnosis of patellofemoral joint pathology. This study was carried out to evaluate the patellofemoral joint using magnetic imaging resonance and describe various predisposing factors for patellofemoral instability.

Background: The Bergenia species are perennial herbs native to central Asia, and one of the most promising medicinal plants of the family Saxifragaceae which are popularly known as 'Pashanbheda'. The aim of this study was to evaluate antioxidant and α-amylase, α-glucosidase, lipase, tyrosinase, elastase, and cholinesterases inhibition potential of Bergenia pacumbis of Nepali origin collected from the Karnali region of Nepal.

Methods: The sequential crude extracts were made in hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol, and water.

The objective of this study was to profile the chemical components and biological activity analysis of crude extract of Bryophyllum pinnatum and Oxalis corniculata. Results revealed that the analyzed plant materials encompass the high amount of total phenolic and flavonoids content and have significant antioxidant activities. Furthermore, methanol extracts are the potential source of α-amylase, α-glucosidase, lipase, tyrosinase and elastase inhibitors.

Three uncommon morpholine-based fluorescent probes (, and ) for pH were prepared by introducing morpholine residues to BODIPY dyes at 4,4'- and 2,6-positions, respectively. In contrast to morpholine-based fluorescent probes for pH reported in literature, these fluorescent probes display high fluorescence in a basic condition while they exhibit very weak fluorescence in an acidic condition. The theoretical calculation confirmed that morpholine is unable to function as either an electron donor or an electron acceptor to quench the BODIPY fluorescence in the neutral and basic condition via photo-induced electron transfer (PET) mechanism because the LUMO energy of morpholine is higher than those of the BODIPY dyes while its HOMO energy is lower than those of the BODIPY dyes.
