- Volkmann's ischaemic contracture (VIC) is a serious condition caused by reduced blood supply to limbs, but its incidence has decreased in developed countries, though it's still common in Nepal, prompting a detailed study.
- Over six years, 47 cases of VIC were analyzed, revealing that the majority involved preventable causes, such as tight casts and bandages, with most cases originating from province 6.
- The study concluded that VIC is largely preventable, and 97.87% of the cases could have been avoided with proper treatment, highlighting the need for improved primary care in Nepal, particularly in provinces 6 and 3.

Although its use is generally considered safe, a systemic diffusion can lead to systemic complications, and a botulism-like syndrome can occur after intramuscular injections. Herein, two adult cases who developed general muscle weakness after a BoNT-A intramuscular injection are reported.

Article Synopsis
- Bladder neck stricture (BNS) is a challenging condition often seen post-trauma or prostate surgery, and current surgical techniques lack lasting success, prompting the need for innovative approaches.* -
- The study tested a new surgical method involving Holmium laser incisions combined with a triamcinolone injection, finding that 53.3% of patients needed follow-up procedures but reported a low failure rate of 8.9% after 18 months.* -
- Results indicate that this technique leads to satisfactory outcomes, especially for first-time BNS patients, though further research with larger groups and extended follow-up is needed to confirm findings.*
