Article Synopsis
- Unstable phalangeal fractures are challenging in hand surgery, and the choice between K-wire fixation and titanium plating often relies on surgeon preference due to insufficient comparative data.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of literature identified 6 studies with 414 patients and found that K-wire fixation resulted in significantly shorter surgical times and quicker radiographic union compared to titanium plating.
- Despite these advantages, overall complications, including infection and need for reoperation, showed no significant differences between the two fixation methods, highlighting the importance of tailored treatment approaches based on individual cases.
Article Synopsis
- Fires in operating rooms, while rare, can be very dangerous and have specific causes, including oxygen, a heat source, and flammable materials.
- The review looks at how to prevent and handle these fires, particularly in plastic surgeries, and emphasizes the need for safety rules and checklists to minimize risks.
- In case of a fire, it's vital to quickly turn off the oxygen and use water to put it out, and there's still a need for more research on how to best manage these situations.
Introduction Dermal filling for aesthetics and facial rejuvenation is one of the most common aesthetic procedures, with hyaluronic acid (HA) being the most commonly used filler due to its high safety profile. Nevertheless, adverse effects have been reported that people should be aware of before the procedure.

Background: Numerous studies have evaluated the use of autologous abdominal tissue for breast reconstruction; nevertheless, complications and donor site morbidity rates vary significantly. The study aims to compare the literature regarding morbidity of the donor site and complication rates of breast reconstruction with autologous abdominal flaps.
Methods: The databases of MEDLINE, EBSCO, Scopus, Wiley Library, and Web of Sciences were searched for studies that compared different flaps in terms of complications and donor site morbidity.
Aim This study aims to examine the relationship between obesity and academic performance and to investigate the relevance between an unhealthy lifestyle and academic performance, which may exist among obese and non-obese female students in the College of Science and College of Medicine of Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University. Method The study is observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional in nature and covers a sample of 328 female students aged 19 to 23 years. They were randomly selected from the College of Science and College of Medicine.
