Percutaneous Intra-meniscal platelet-rich plasma injection for meniscal tears: A mid-term.

Percutaneous intra-meniscal platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a promising tool for managing low-grade meniscal injuries in non-athletic patients. The study evaluates the clinical and radiological outcomes of PRP intra-meniscal injection in meniscal tears. Forty-eight patients were injected with 3 injections of PRP at an interval of one week with a standardised technique under sonographic guidance.

Custom ocular prostheses incorporating braille for a patient with bilateral anophthalmia: A clinical report.

Bilateral anophthalmia, a clinical condition characterized by the absence of globe and ocular tissues from both the orbits, presents considerable challenges to a patient's daily routine and use of prostheses. The patient's inability to orientate custom ocular prostheses (COPs) 3-dimensionally is understandable, and they typically rely on caregivers to manage the prostheses and prevent inadvertent injury to the socket. This clinical report describes the successful integration of braille script into COPs as a solution to these challenges by improving prosthesis management, decreasing caregiver dependence, and encouraging independence.

Prolonged Remission in Metastatic Ano-Rectal Malignant Melanoma With Single Agent Temozolomide.

Introduction: With the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and targeted therapies, the clinical outcomes of metastatic melanoma have drastically improved. The current scenario has reduced the use of chemotherapy as a first-line treatment. We report an interesting case of a patient with stage IV ano-rectal canal malignant melanoma with an exceptional response to single-agent temozolomide.

High Prevalence of Malnutrition in Geriatric Patients With Solid Organ Cancer-An Institutional Study.

Purpose: The demographic transition toward aging heralds an increase in the number of geriatric patients with cancer in India. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a sine qua non for treatment planning and shared decision making in these patients. We aimed to study the prevalence of malnutrition and the associated risk factors in geriatric patients with solid organ cancer.
