Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment on meibomian gland disease.
Settings And Design: This is a prospective interventional study.
Methods: Seventy eyes of patients with dry eye disease undergoing three sessions of IPL therapy, 15 days apart, were included.
Introduction: Although commonly encountered in clinical practice and considered among the "bread and butter" cases in trauma and orthopedics, intertrochanteric fractures of the femur in certain scenarios pose a challenge to the orthopedic surgeon. Good reduction and stable fixation are a key for good outcome, and certain anatomical limitations such as amputations make that difficult to achieve. Ipsilateral above-knee amputation is a scenario where positioning of the patient on an orthopedic fracture table and reduction of the fracture becomes challenging.

Transplant tolerance would overcome the need for long-term immunosuppression (ISP). Using nonmyeloablative conditioning, our laboratory has developed a novel swine model of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) that produces durable mixed chimerism (MC) and immune tolerance without toxicity.

- * The case report discusses two KTS patients with different musculoskeletal challenges affecting the hip; one underwent successful total hip arthroplasty while the other received conservative treatment due to more complex symptoms and complications.
- * The conclusion highlights the necessity of tailoring treatment approaches for KTS, emphasizing the importance of considering individual patient factors like severity, functional needs, and associated complications.
Introduction: In the treatment of paediatric supracondylar humerus fractures (SCHFs), Gartland Type 1 fractures are traditionally managed with in situ above elbow casting, while Type 2A fractures are treated with closed reduction and above elbow casting.
Surgical Technique: This technical note introduces a novel "figure of 8" cast technique for Type I and 2A fractures. The technique aims to maintain fracture reduction while reducing the risk of compartment syndrome by avoiding placement of cast material in the anterior elbow crease.
