Effect of vehicular vibrations on L-4 lumbar vertebrae - A finite element study.

Lower Back Pain (LBP) is a global health issue, with increasing prevalence, partly attributed to vehicular vibrations experienced by motorcyclists. The L4 lumbar vertebra is responsible for greater mobility and flexibility of the body, but also is the most crucial body element affected by vehicular vibrations.

Giant Cell Tumor of the Tendon Sheath of the Hand: Analysis of Factors Impacting Recurrence.

 Giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath (GCTTS) of the hand are considered the second most common benign tumors of the hand after ganglion cysts. Excision biopsy is considered the standard treatment at present. They are notorious for having a very high rate of recurrence as given in many studies.

Smith-Magenis Syndrome: Face Speaks.

Smith-Magenis syndrome is a well delineated microdeletion syndrome with characteristic facial and behavioral phenotype. With the availability of the multi-targeted molecular cytogenetic techniques like Multiplex Ligation Probe Amplification and cytogenetic microarray, the cases are diagnosed even without clinical suspicion. Here, the authors present clinical features of nine Indian cases of Smith-Magenis syndrome.
