Abusive head trauma (AHT) is a type of neurotrauma that accounts for significant morbidity and mortality. It is characterized by a constellation of neurologic and radiologic signs indicative of abuse in children aged zero to five years. Detection of these cases could be a challenging endeavor and is entirely contingent on the acumen of the healthcare professionals. It is imperative to identify suspected cases at the earliest to prevent developmental delays, visuomotor deficits, learning disabilities, and seizure disorders.

Introduction: The dearth of population-based data on polysubstance use, especially in young emerging adults, presents a critical gap in understanding public health challenges, particularly in rural India, where tobacco and oral cancer are prevalent. This study addresses this gap by investigating the prevalence and patterns of substance use, with a focus on young emerging adults (18-29 years) within a high-risk cohort for oral cancer in Varanasi, India.
Methods: The study involved a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from 10,101 participants within a high-risk cohort in rural settings of the Varanasi district between December 2020-June 2023.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine preoperative patient- and fracture-related risk factors for estimating the risk of fracture sequelae after surgically treated proximal humerus fractures (PHF) using locking plate osteosynthesis. The purpose was to develop a fracture sequelae risk score as an additional tool to facilitate the treatment strategy for PHF.
Methods: All patients with PHF who underwent surgery with locking plate osteosynthesis were included.

Purpose: Traumatic brain injury (TBI), including pediatric abusive head trauma (AHT), is the leading cause of death and disability in children and young adults worldwide. The current understanding of trauma-induced molecular changes in the brain of human subjects with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) remains inadequate and requires further investigation to improve the outcome and management of TBI in the clinic. Calcium-mediated damage at the site of brain injury has been shown to activate several catalytic enzymes.

Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC) is the sixth most common malignancy worldwide, with more than 890,000 new cases and 450,000 deaths annually. Its major risk factors include smoking, alcohol abuse, aging, and poor oral hygiene. Due to the lack of early and effective detection and screening methods, many patients are diagnosed at advanced stages with a five-year survival rate of less than 50%.
