Background And Objective: Superior cluneal nerve (SCN) entrapment is one of the infrequent etiologies of low back pain (LBP), which is rarely diagnosed. Few clinical reports have been published in the literature. We present a case of severe LBP radiating to the ipsilateral buttock after decubitus surgery.
Case Report: A 62-year-old man weighing 85 kg presented to the algology department, suffering from severe LBP of 6 months duration. The pain was in the right iliac crest region with radiation to the ipsilateral buttock. After admission, his history was taken, physical examination was performed, and further evaluations were made. He was suspected of having facet and right sacroiliac joint pain. Two tender points were found 6.5 and 7.5 cm to the right of the midline over the iliac crest. Local anesthetic with corticosteroid was injected at the tender points over the right iliac crest. Five minutes after the injection, the pain dissipated.
Conclusion: SCN entrapment should be considered in patients who suffer from LBP radiating to the iliac crest and buttock after other causes of LBP have been excluded.

Basidiobolomycosis, a rare fungal infection seen in immunocompetent patients, is a chronic granulomatous infection affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It is caused by the fungus . Gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis usually has non-specific clinical manifestations, and its diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine what demographic and anatomical variables affect successful placement of a superior medullary ramus screw, and how they affect the maximal diameter of that screw.
Methods: Design: Prognostic Level IV SETTING: Level I Trauma Center Patients/Participants: Two hundred consecutive patients underwent computed tomography (CT) of the pelvis. We included those patients aged 18 and older without osseous injury or abnormalities precluding measurement.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and define the indications for a one-stage mandibular reconstruction technique that combines iliac bone flaps with immediate implant-based dentures, and to assess both the accuracy of surgical planning and the long-term success of the procedure.
Methods: A total of ten patients underwent the procedure at Peking University Hospital of Stomatology between June 2020 and August 2023. The preoperative biopsy pathology of all the patients confirmed a benign tumor.

The iliotibial band originates from the iliac crest and the hip joint capsule, extending along the entire lateral surface until it inserts onto tuberculum anterolateralis tibiae on the anterolateral tibia. It acts as an agonist of the anterior cruciate ligament. In short, the iliotibial band primarily contributes to the lateral stabilization of the knee joint.

Article Synopsis
- Polymeric materials from renewable sources are becoming popular alternatives to petroleum-based polymers, particularly for 3D printing techniques like Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM).
- Poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs), especially poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), have great potential but face challenges due to their high crystallinity and low thermal stability.
- Blending PHB with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) in different ratios improves the printability of these materials, with a 50:50 blend showing better speed and accuracy in 3D printing complex structures.
