Humerus de-rotational osteotomies are one of the commonly done salvage procedures in children with residual brachial plexus birth injuries. Conventionally, the degree of angular correction was measured clinically intraoperatively by the ability to reach the occiput and the belly or it can be measured by putting reference k-wires at the appropriate angles. However, accurate angular correction is essential to success, as under-correction may lead to parental dissatisfaction and over-correction may lead to loss of mid-line function.

Heat is not independent of ambient temperature but acts synergistically with relative humidity (RH) to increase the risk of several diseases, such as cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Although the skin is the organ in direct contact with the environment, it is currently unknown whether skin health is similarly affected.

A low-voltage approach is proposed to overcome not only the OER challenge by favorably oxidizing abundant feedstock molecules with an earth-abundant catalyst but also to reduce the energy input required for hydrogen production. This alternative process not only generates carbon-negative green H but also yields concurrent value-added products (VAPs), thereby maximizing economic advantages and transforming waste into valuable resources.

In the present study, complete gene of phosvitinless vitellogenin (vgc) was sequenced, its 3D structure was predicted and validated by web-based softwares. The complete nucleotide sequence of vgc was 4126 bp which encodes for 1272 amino acids and showed the presence of three conserved domains viz.
