Talent management intervention towards performance outcomes of Jordanian telecommunication companies: mediating role of perceived organizational support.

Background: Grounding on the Resource-Based View (RBV) and organization support theory (OST), this study examines the effect of talent management practice (TMP) on perceived organizational support (POS), organizational performance (OP), and employee performance (EP) within the Jordanian telecom sector, with a specific focus on the mediating effect of POS's between TMP-EP and OP relationship.

Methods: This study uses a cross-sectional method to collect data from 397 personnel at three Jordanian telecom enterprises. The Smart-PLS application assisted with structural equation modeling, which was used to examine the data.

Management of displaced supracondylar fractures in children and adherence to the BOAST guideline- experience in a District General Hospital, UK.

Background: Supracondylar fracture is the most common elbow fracture in children. These fractures can be associated with significant complications, including nerve injury, vascular compromise, compartment syndrome and clinical deformity. The British Orthopaedic Association Standards for Trauma (BOAST) provide clear and comprehensive guidance for managing the supracondylar fracture.

Adverse cutaneous drug reactions--a clinico-demographic study in a tertiary care teaching hospital of the Kashmir Valley, India.

Background: Adverse cutaneous drug reactions (ACDRs) are caused by a wide variety of agents. The aim was to study the incidence and clinico-demographic profile of ACDRs to identify any potential risk factors and compare the results with other studies.

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted over a period of one year from October 2012 to October 2013 in the outpatient department (OPD) of a tertiary care teaching hospital of the Kashmir valley in India and various ACDRs were recorded.

Steroid-induced rosacea: a clinical study of 200 patients.

Background: Topical corticosteroids were first introduced for use in 1951. Since then uncontrolled use (abuse) has caused many different reactions resembling rosacea - steroid dermatitis or iatrosacea. Multiple pathways including rebound vasodilatation and proinflammatory cytokine release have been proposed as the mechanism for such reactions.

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome with facial hemiatrophy.

Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive congenital disorder characterized by chondrodysplasia and polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and congenital defects of the heart. We present here a case of a 16-year-old short-limbed dwarf with skeletal deformities and bilateral postaxial polydactyly, dysplastic nails and teeth, also having left-sided facial hemiatrophy. The diagnosis of EVC syndrome was made on the basis of clinical and radiological features.

Familial reactive perforating collagenosis.

Background: Reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) is one of the rare forms of transepidermal elimination in which genetically altered collagen is extruded from the epidermis. This disease usually starts in early childhood as asymptomatic umbilicated papules on extremities, and the lesions become more conspicuous with age.

Aims: The objective of our study was to determine the clinico-pathological features of RPC and the response to various treatment modalities.

Clinicopathological profile and surgical results of nonhealing sinuses and fistulous tracts of the head and neck region.

Purpose: The sinus and fistulous tracts in the head and neck region often pose a challenge to the surgeon, and are usually misdiagnosed, resulting in treatment failure.

Materials And Methods: This study included 117 patients who presented to the Department of Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery, Department of General Surgery, and Department of Dermatology of the Sheri-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences Medical College (Srinagar, India) over a period of 7 years. All 117 patients were analyzed using clinical methods, radiologic studies, and laboratory investigations.

Trace element levels in alopecia areata.

Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is a recurrent, nonscarring type of hair loss considered to be an autoimmune process. Though its etiopathology is not fully understood, there are claims that imbalance of trace elements may trigger the onset of AA.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess the levels of zinc, copper, and magnesium in the serum of AA patients.
