Carpometacarpal (CMC) joint dislocation other than thumb are rare injuries and can be easily missed. These injuries account for <1% of all hand injuries and are frequently overlooked or missed. CMC dislocations can occur either in dorsal or volar direction and be associated with fractures. However, dorsal dislocation is more commonly encountered than volar dislocation. Volar CMC joint dislocations are rare and need a high level of suspicion for diagnosing and prevention of complications. We present a 36-year-old woman with post-traumatic neglected volar dislocation of all the five CMC joints leading to a windswept deformity of the hand.

Climate change is already impacting children's health in a variety of ways. Indian children are among the most severely affected; they are experiencing respiratory illnesses from air pollution, heat-related illnesses, malnutrition, vector- and water-borne diseases; and mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder from weather disasters. There is a need to increase awareness and capacity building among paediatricians for understanding the impact of climate change on the health of children and educating parents about preventive measures.

This exploratory study empirically shows how community social capital is related to post-disaster depression, whereas most disaster mental health research has focused on posttraumatic stress disorder. We tested the validity of earlier found multilevel social and individual mechanisms of posttraumatic stress for symptoms of post-disaster depression. We used data (n = 231) from a community study after a flood in Morpeth (2008), a rural town in northern England.

Article Synopsis
- Mountain accident victims often face hypothermia due to cold and windy conditions, which can lead to increased mortality.
- This study aimed to evaluate how effective different warming systems are at preventing heat loss during simulated mountain rescues, using thermal manikins and a virtual patient model.
- Results showed that while shivering victims could gain heat, non-shivering victims experienced significant heat loss that none of the warming systems (gel, electrical, or chemical) could fully compensate for, indicating a need for better thermal insulation in these situations.
