Introduction: Angiolipomas are benign small soft tissue rubbery tumors common between the age group of 20 and 30. They are very common in the extremities and neck. It is composed of adipose tissues and blood vessel components.

Article Synopsis
  • The case discusses a 25-year-old male who experienced a fracture in both the neck and shaft of his femur, leading to non-union, which is a challenging condition to treat.
  • The treatment involved a combination of open reduction, dual plating with bone grafting for the shaft, and a valgus subtrochanteric osteotomy along with dynamic hip screw and impaction bone grafting for the neck.
  • The study emphasizes the importance of biomechanical correction to promote healing, noting that this approach can lead to better outcomes in treating femur non-unions.

Article Synopsis
  • Clavicle fractures and acromioclavicular (AC) joint disruptions are common injuries, but having both at the same time is rare.
  • A case study highlights a 21-year-old man who suffered a mid-shaft clavicle fracture in a traffic accident and was found to have a type 4 AC joint disruption during surgery.
  • Successful treatment involved plating the clavicle and repairing the AC joint, leading to full recovery and shoulder function after therapy.

Introduction: Distal femur fractures are high-velocity injuries which accounts for 7-10% of all femoral fractures of which 5-10% are open fractures. Despite advances in techniques and implants, treatment remains a challenge, in many situations due to increased risk of infection, non-union and loss of range of motion. Surgical management of such complex injury includes radical debridement with stabilization followed by management of gap non-union with appropriate techniques and restores the range of motion.

Objectives: Various researches have shown periodontitis to share common pathophysiological pathways with systemic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and osteoporosis and recently neurological disorders. This article provides a narrative review summarizing the various linking mechanisms and the nature of association between two multifactorial diseases-periodontitis and migraine.

Materials And Methods: A literature search was performed for articles related to periodontitis and migraine up till the year 2023 which yielded totally 14 articles.

The EOS™2D/3D system is a low-dose, 3D imaging system that utilizes two perpendicular X-ray beams to create simultaneous frontal and lateral images of the body. This is a useful modality to assess spinal pathologies. However, due to the slow imaging acquisition time up to 25 s, motion artifacts (MA) frequently occur.

Periodontal regeneration involves the composite action of cell, scaffolds and signaling molecules. There are numerous autologous sources of regenerative cells which are present close to the vicinity of the periodontally debilitated site, the primary one being the periodontal ligament stem cell, which is believed to have a key role in regeneration. Various methods can be harnessed to optimize and enhance the regenerative potential of PDLSCs such as the application of LASERs.

The aim of this exploratory study was the assessment of the metabolic profiles of persons with complete spinal cord injury (SCI) in three region-of-interests (pons, cerebellar vermis, and cerebellar hemisphere), with magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and their correlations to clinical scores. Group differences and association between metabolic and clinical scores were examined. Fifteen people with chronic SCI (cSCI), five people with subacute SCI (sSCI) and fourteen healthy controls were included.

Periodontitis is a complex chronic disease discernible by the deterioration of periodontal tissue. The goal of periodontal therapy is to achieve complete tissue regeneration, and one of the most promising treatment options is to harness the regenerative potential of stem cells available within the periodontal complex. Periodontal ligament stem cells, gingival mesenchymal stem cells, oral periosteal stem cells, and dental follicle stem cells have structural similarities, but their immunological responses and features differ.

After spinal cord injury (SCI), reorganization processes and changes in brain connectivity occur. Besides the sensorimotor cortex, the subcortical areas are strongly involved in motion and executive control. This exploratory study focusses on the cerebellum and vermis.

Article Synopsis
  • Vitamin D plays a crucial role in immune defense against tuberculosis, with lower levels linked to the disease; this study aimed to explore that connection.
  • A case-control study was conducted involving 50 tuberculosis patients and 50 healthy controls, examining factors like vitamin D levels and clinical characteristics.
  • Findings showed significantly lower vitamin D levels in TB patients, with a higher prevalence of deficiency and a correlation with more severe symptoms and greater disease severity in TB cases.

Background: In contrast to laparoscopic left pancreatic resection, laparoscopic total duodenopancreatectomy is a procedure that has not been standardized until now. It is not only the complexity that limits such a procedure but also its rare indication. The following article demonstrates the technical aspects of laparoscopic pylorus- and spleen-preserving duodenopancreatectomy.

Tonsillopharyngitis is very common in children, with Group A Streptococci being the most common bacterial etiology. Effective antibacterial treatment is imperative due to risk of rheumatic fever. Cephalosporins have been used successfully for the treatment of Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcal (GABHS) tonsillopharyngitis.
