Chunni (a piece of cloth worn around the neck by many Indian women) is a well recognized accidental ligature around the neck. We report a rare case of accidental strangulation with chunni where the patient was pillion rider on bicycle; in spite of very common of use of bicycle to best our knowledge this kind of injury has not been reported previously.

Vesicoureteral Reflux in Children with Accidental Diagnosis of Unilateral Small Size Kidney.
Urol Res Pract
January 2025
Non-Communicable Pediatric Diseases Research Center, Health Research Institute, Babol University of Medical Sciences, Babol, I.R. Iran.
Objective: A majority of small size kidney in children were diagnosed after a urinary tract infection (UTI) and with high-grade vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). This study was conducted in children who were diagnosed accidentally and investigated for VUR and UTI.
Methods: This longitudinal retrospective study was conducted in children with a diagnosis of a small kidney accidentally discovered by ultrasonography and referred to Children's Hospital in Babol, Iran, between 2012-2022.

Cushing syndrome (CS) is a constellation of signs and symptoms caused by excessive exposure to exogenous or endogenous glucocorticoid hormones. Endogenous CS is caused by increased cortisol production by one or both adrenal glands (adrenal CS) or by elevated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion from a pituitary tumour (Cushing disease (CD)) or non-pituitary tumour (ectopic ACTH secretion), which stimulates excessive cortisol production. CS is associated with severe multisystem morbidity, including impaired cardiovascular and metabolic function, infections and neuropsychiatric disorders, which notably reduce quality of life.

Eastern Colorado VA Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center (GRECC), Aurora, CO, USA.
Purpose: To explore behavioral risk factors contributing to fall and near-fall scenarios for Veterans with dysvascular lower-limb amputation.
Materials And Methods: Participants were a convenience sample of Veterans with unilateral dysvascular lower-limb amputation, receiving care at a single Veterans Administration Regional Amputation Center, who participated in an interview (12/2021-04/2023). We used phenomenological research and directed content analysis to explore participant perspectives on fall scenarios.
Treadmill belt accelerations may not accurately replicate kinematic responses to tripping on an obstacle in older people.
PLoS One
January 2025
Falls, Balance and Injury Research Centre, Neuroscience Research Australia, Sydney, Australia.
Background: Treadmill belt perturbations have high clinical feasibility for use in perturbation-based training in older people, but their kinematic validity is unclear. This study examined the kinematic validity of treadmill belt accelerations as a surrogate for overground walkway trips during gait in older people.
Methods: Thirty-eight community-dwelling older people were exposed to two unilateral belt accelerations (8 m s-2) whilst walking on a split-belt treadmill and two trips induced by a 14 cm trip-board whilst walking on a walkway with condition presentation randomised.
Postneonatal Cerebral Palsy in Europe: Prevalence and Clinical Characteristics According to Contributory Events: An SCPE Study.
Paediatr Perinat Epidemiol
January 2025
Childhood Disability Registry in Haute-Garonne, University Hospital, Toulouse, France.
Background: Postneonatal cerebral palsy (PNCP) is rare and requires large databases to be studied over time.
Objectives: To study the time trend of prevalence of PNCP overall and by cause, and to describe the clinical characteristics of children with PNCP according to cause and compared with children with pre/peri/neonatal CP (PPNCP).
Methods: The Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe (SCPE) database was used.
