Military Injuries: Helocasting Accident.

Background: Accidental injuries sustained during helocasting remain unexamined.

Methods: Conditions prevalent during a helocasting exercise performed at a still water body and the resulting casualties were analyzed.

Results: Despatch from greater-than-ideal height (>7 m) and speed (>5 knots) causes a high-velocity impact of the body with water in a non-aerodynamic configuration, exposing maximal body area at penetration.

Hidden vegetable matter in tissue sections - A case series.

Food particles get frequently impacted in the oral cavity in varying sites. Oral pulse granuloma develops as a consequence of implantation of food particles of plant or vegetable origin in oral tissues. The lesion might be central or peripheral.

Burden of death and disability due to adverse effects of medical treatment in India: An analysis using the global burden of disease 2019 study data.

Unsafe patient care can result in an adverse event that may lead to hospitalization, disability, or death. India has a vast and diverse population with varying degrees of access to tertiary healthcare. However, there is a lack of studies analyzing the burden of healthcare-related adverse events.

A Systematic Review of the Economic Burden of Proton Therapy in Head and Neck Cancer.

Background: Radiation therapy is used to treat head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. Proton beam therapy (PBT) is one of the newer treatment options. This systematic review will describe the cost and cost-effectiveness of PBT compared with other first-line treatment options based on available literature and provide a better understanding of its usage in HNC in the future.

Nuciferine-loaded chitosan hydrogel-integrated 3D-printed polylactic acid scaffolds for bone tissue engineering: A combinatorial approach.

Critical-sized bone defects resulting from severe trauma and open fractures cannot spontaneously heal and require surgical intervention. Limitations of traditional bone grafting include immune rejection and demand-over-supply issues leading to the development of novel tissue-engineered scaffolds. Nuciferine (NF), a plant-derived alkaloid, has excellent therapeutic properties, but its osteogenic potential is yet to be reported.
