Introduction And Importance: Odontoid fractures of the second cervical vertebra (C2) are categorized into three types, with type III extending into the body of the axis. These fractures, often resulting from high-energy trauma, can cause significant instability and neurological issues. This case report discusses a 43-year-old male with a type III odontoid fracture and C1-C2 fracture dislocation, demonstrating the effectiveness of traditional neurosurgical techniques in managing such complex injuries.

Article Synopsis
- Scalp arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular issues that can cause severe complications and cosmetic problems, especially in young women; early diagnosis and a team-based treatment approach are critical.
- A 30-year-old female with a pulsatile scalp mass was diagnosed with a scalp AVM through various imaging techniques and successfully treated with endovascular embolization and surgical resection, resulting in significant symptom relief.
- The case highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and advanced imaging in managing scalp AVMs, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring to prevent recurrence and ensure long-term success.
Objective: To determine the efficacy of transdermal Nitroglycerine patch in idiopathic pre-term labour and foetomaternal outcome.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted at the Obstetrics Unit-II of Shaikh Zayed Hospital for Women, Chandka Medical College, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical University, Larkana, from Jan 1 to June 30, 2010. Sixtyfive pregnant women at 28-34 weeks of gestation were recruited after they met the selection criteria based on non-probability consecutive sampling.
Article Synopsis
- Pulsus alternans involves detecting alternating strong and weak pulses, often linked to heart failure issues.
- Murmur alternans, which is the variation in the intensity of heart murmurs, can occur in conditions like aortic stenosis and certain right-sided heart problems.
- The case report details a patient with critical pulmonary stenosis, exhibiting murmur alternans and Doppler alternans on echocardiography due to right ventricular systolic dysfunction.
