This work examines the impact of locally imposed constraints in Density Functional Theory (DFT). Using a metric referred to as the extent of violation index (EVI), we quantify how well exchange-correlation functionals adhere to local constraints. Applying EVIs to a diverse set of molecules for GGA functionals reveals constraint violations, particularly for semi-empirical functionals.

Case: Erdheim-Chester's disease (ECD) is a rare multisystem disorder considered as a neoplasm of non-Langerhans cell histiocytes. We report a case of uncemented total hip arthroplasty in a 74-year-old patient with ECD for femoral neck fracture with pathological involvement of distal metaphysis and diaphysis. We reviewed the literature on bony involvement.

- Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a respiratory infection first identified in 2001, primarily affecting kids, seniors (aged ≥ 65), and immunocompromised adults, with treatment being mostly symptomatic.
- A study analyzed 38 hMPV-positive patients (ages 18 and above) at Scarborough General Hospital from August 2022 to September 2023, revealing 73% were aged 65+, with most living independently and presenting with shortness of breath and cough.
- The majority received conservative treatments like antibiotics and nebulizers, with 13% of patients dying during their hospital stay, all aged 65+ and many having existing health issues.
Appendicitis, an infection and inflammation of the appendix is a prevalent condition in children that requires immediate treatment. Rupture of the appendix may lead to several complications, such as peritonitis and sepsis. Appendicitis is medically diagnosed using urine, blood, and imaging tests.
