Abdominal stab wound with an unusual presentation: A case report.

The forensic literature has described unusual wounds of entry into fatal stab wounds that are rarely found in autopsies. Stab wounds are considered fatal injuries when they occur in vital organs. Many authors have suggested that the description of the wound track helps recreate the crime scene.

Enhancing trauma evaluation: Comparative analysis of post-mortem computed tomography and autopsy findings in abdominal stab wounds.

In cases of traumatic deaths, accurate assessment of injuries is essential for both legal and medical purposes. This case report compares the findings of post-mortem computed tomography with conventional autopsy methods in assessing abdominal stab wounds.

Insight Study of Trace Elements in PM During Nine Years in Delhi, India: Seasonal Variation, Source Apportionment, and Health Risks Assessment.

This study investigated the concentrations, seasonal variations, sources, and human health risks associated with exposure to heavy elements (As, Al, Pb, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, and Ni) of PM at an urban location of Delhi (28° 38' N, 77° 10' E; 218 m amsl), India, from January 2013 to December 2021. The average mass concentration of PM throughout the study period was estimated as 127 ± 77 µg m, which is exceeding the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) limit (annual: 40 µg m; 24 h: 60 µg m). The seasonal mass concentrations of PM exhibited at the order of post-monsoon (192 ± 110 µgm) > winter (158 ± 70 µgm) > summer (92 ± 44 µgm) and > monsoon (67 ± 32 µgm).

Role of procalcitonin, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 as a predictive marker for the use of perioperative steroid in maxillofacial trauma patients.

Maxillofacial trauma often brings significant challenges for surgeons in terms of preoperative oedema. Steroids offer oedema reduction, yet potentially increase the risks of postoperative infection. This study explores procalcitonin (PCT), as a marker for bacterial infection risk, and interleukins IL-6 and IL-10, which respectively signify pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses, as potential indicators of infection and inflammation in these trauma cases and thereby aid in refining perioperative guidelines for the use of steroids.

Usage of insecticide-treated bed nets, and early treatment especially in high-risk areas are the crucial factors for the malaria prevention at household levels. This study aimed to determine the crucial factors associated with malaria prevention at households' level such as household's characteristics, education, knowledge and awareness, insecticide treated bed nets usage, early treatment etc.

Color Doppler Ultrasound Indices as Predictors of Propranolol Response in Infantile Hemangioma: A Prospective Study.

Objective: To evaluate the utility of color Doppler ultrasonography in assessing infantile hemangioma response to treatment with oral propranolol.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted between January, 2016 and December, 2022, wherein children with symptomatic (ulceration, bleeding, pain and scarring) infantile hemangioma were given oral propranol (2 mg/kg per day in three divided doses) as outpatient therapy. The clinical response was assessed three months post-initiation of treatment (intermediate clinical response) and three months post-completion of treatment (final clinical response, FCR).

Outcome of Mandibular Reconstruction with Fibula free Flaps: Retrospective Analysis of Complications.

Unlabelled: Rationale: Fibula free flap has become the workhorse for head and neck reconstruction. In this retrospective study we aimed at determining the outcomes of mandibular reconstruction with fibula free flaps. Methods: Any patient who underwent a mandibulectomy and reconstructed with vascularised fibula flap was included in the study.

Development of chemically synthesized hydroxyapatite composite with reduced graphene oxide for enhanced mechanical properties.

A successful attempt has been made to improve the mechanical properties of Hydroxyapatite (HAp) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite nanoparticles (NPs). Various proportions of HAp and rGO were synthesized to improve the mechanical properties. HAp NPs were prepared using the wet precipitation method and further calcined to form crystalline particles.

Management of Maxillary Sagittal Fracture by using Pre-activated Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME).

Introduction: Different techniques of the management of sagittal maxillary fractures have been described with different advantages and disadvantages. We herein present our experience and results of managing these cases by reversing pre-activated maxillary expanders and evaluation of its efficacy.

Does Early Treatment of Paediatric Orbital Fracture Offer Any Advantage in Terms of Post-Operative Clinical Outcomes.

Background: Trapdoor fractures commonly occur in children below 6 years of age. The high resiliency of bone, pneumatisation of sinuses and other factors lead to entrapment of muscle and/or soft tissue which undergoes ischaemic changes leading to residual diplopia. The timing of intervention in children ranges from 24 h to greater than 2 weeks.

A Clinicopathological Study to Assess the Role of Intralesional Sclerotherapy Following Propranolol Treatment in Infantile Hemangioma.

Context: As propranolol has emerged as first-line therapy for problematic infantile hemangioma, the number of non-responders and partial responders to propranolol therapy is also increasing.

Aims: The study was conducted to evaluate the response of intralesional bleomycin, triamcinolone, and a combination of both as second line of treatment for the residual hemangioma following propranolol therapy.

Settings And Design: A prospective comparative study was conducted in patients who were either non-responders or partial responders to previous propranolol treatment.

Sandwich therapy in the management of propranolol resistant infantile hemangioma of the lip.

Rationale: Propranolol has evolved as a first line management of infantile haemangiomas. Nevertheless, the resistance to propranolol has warranted alternative treatment modalities. We hypothesize that combination of medical and surgical therapy (sandwich therapy) to be beneficial in the management.
