Background: Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a rare genetic disorder with heterogeneous presentation, where acute encephalopathy is rarely described in literature. Therefore, initial neurologic symptoms could make the diagnosis and treatment challenging.
Case Presentation: A four-month-old male infant presented with acute encephalopathy, vomiting, bulging fontanel, decreased appetite and failure to thrive.
Introduction: Genetic studies may provide valuable information about patients who are at high risk of developing diabetes nephropathy. Before the appearance of albuminuria, there are genetic mutations that can predispose the development of kidney disease.
Material And Methods: The study included 130 adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
Background: In nonoperative treated proximal humeral fractures (PHFs), uncertainty remains regarding functional outcome. Therefore, the aim was to identify predictors of functional outcome following nonoperative treatment of PHF and to develop predictive models.
Methods: Adults with a nonoperatively treated PHF involving the surgical neck were followed for 1 year.
Article Synopsis
- Humeral shaft fractures make up about 3% of all fractures, with complex types being rare; the study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and complications of treating these fractures using an open method with a locking plate.
- A retrospective analysis involved 26 patients over an average age of 64, assessing fracture healing, complications, and quality of life through various evaluations.
- Results showed no infections and effective wound healing, though mechanical issues arose in some cases and 84% had healed fractures within a year; complications included temporary and persistent radial nerve palsy in two patients.
Background: The growing population of elderly people is leading to a rising number of pelvic ring fractures. These often involve combinations of pubic branch and sacrum fractures, as seen in lateral compression type 1 (LC1) and 2 (LC2) fractures or more precisely classified as fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFP). The combined impact on the anterior and posterior ring brings the risk of prolonged pain, resulting in decreased mobility and increased complications.
