Article Synopsis
- Hip pain in children can be tricky to diagnose, often linked to trauma, but can also stem from non-traumatic issues.
- Key causes to consider include inflammatory, infective, and neoplastic conditions, along with specific pathologies like avascular necrosis and slipped upper femoral epiphysis.
- A thorough medical history, clinical examination, and proper imaging techniques are essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
Acute intestinal obstruction is a common paediatric surgical emergency and should be considered in any child presenting with vomiting, abdominal pain and abdominal distension. Many causes of bowel obstruction arise from congenital anomalies and recognition of the underlying cause of obstruction can be challenging in these settings. These cases can be further complicated if two or more congenital anomalies are present.

The study aimed to develop a complete overview of the cis-acting regulatory elements (CAREs) present in S. tuberosum DREB gene promoters.

- The study focuses on the StDREB gene family in potatoes, which enhances plant tolerance to abiotic stresses, using bioinformatics to analyze a total of 66 genes.
- Phylogenetic analysis categorized these genes into six subgroups (A1-A6) and identified their uneven distribution across 12 chromosomes, along with evidence of gene duplication events.
- The research concludes that understanding StDREB genes' molecular mechanisms will aid in improving potatoes' resistance to environmental stresses.
Total hip replacements (THR) have been performed in the UK from the 1960s and since then we have seen surgical techniques, the design of implants, and imaging modalities rapidly develop. This paper will aim to review the different complications and imaging appearance which help to evaluate each problem. As for all investigations for bone and joints, a radiograph is the first imaging to be performed for any patient with a THR and can detect a majority of complications.
