Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Surgically Managed Perilunate Dislocation: Outcomes After Perilunate Dislocation.

Background: Perilunate dislocations (PLDs) are uncommon high-energy injuries that may result in significant morbidity if inadequately treated. We report the midterm outcomes following surgical intervention and the validity of the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) score as an assessment tool post injury.

Methods: We prospectively present outcomes in 16 patients with perilunate injuries.

Power tool injuries to the hand and wrist.

Power tool injuries to the hand and wrist are complex injuries which can have a profound impact on the function of the patient. This article gives an overview of the principles, and provides a systematic approach, to the management and rehabilitation of the injured limb and patient required to minimize future disability.

Synthesis of some quinones of potential antitubercular activity.

Certain phthiocol derivatives of expected bactericidal action have been synthesized. These include the phthiocol moiety condensed with p-hydrazino-salicylic and -benzoic acids and their ethyl esters; phthiocol thiosemicarbazone and isonicotinyl hydrazidehydrazone. In another similar series the methyl group of phthiocol was replaced by carbethoxy, ethyl, butyl and isobutyl groups.

Synthesis of substituted benzoquinones and naphthoquinones with potential antituberculous activity.

Compounds were prepared through the reaction of benzoquinone, naphthoquinone and 2-methyl-1.4-naphthoquinone with several sulphonamides in common use. It is hoped that incorporation of these bacteriostatic agents with the high lipid solubility of the quinone used may afford a better bacteriostatic activity.

Synthesis of 1.4-naphthoquinones-4-aryl(aroyl)hydrazones of potential antimicrobial activity.

The isolation of phthiocol (3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1.4-naphthoquinone) from the acetone-soluble fat fraction of tubercle bacilli [1, 2] and the confirmation that it had antituberculous activity against H-37 R.V.
