Traumatic Hip Dislocation with Proximal Femoral Epiphyseal Fracture in 12-Year-Old Boy: A Case-Based Review.

Introduction: Pediatric hip fractures comprised <1% of all pediatric fractures. These fractures are usually associated with high-energy trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or fall from height. The Delbet classification of pediatric hip fractures is frequently used to describe these injuries and to relate the fracture type to the development of avascular necrosis.

Glanzmann's thrombasthenia: A nightmare for hernia surgeons.

Glanzmann's thrombasthenia is a rare inherited disorder affecting one in one million. It is characterised by a lack of platelet aggregation due to a defect in the platelet membrane receptor complex (αIIb/βIIIa), which mediates the aggregation of platelets at the site of vessel injury. We report here the first case of successful perioperative haemostatic management of a male patient with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia, who underwent an elective laparoscopic hernia repair.

Matched cohort study evaluating the hemostatic efficacy of fibrin sealant versus conventional approaches following dental surgery in patients with hemophilia.

Patients with hemophilia frequently require supplementary interventions, either invasive (suturing, gel foam, or cauterization) or non-invasive (fibrin sealant/glue), to attain hemostasis post dental procedures. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of fibrin sealant against traditional methods for achieving hemostasis post dental surgery. The medical records of patients with factor VIII or IX deficiency, or von Willebrand disease, who underwent dental procedures in the Department of Dentistry, Seth GSMC and KEM Hospital, were evaluated for inclusion in this retrospective matched cohort study.

White out hemithorax secondary to salivary gland type of lung cancer with metastasis in liver and bone: a case report.

Background: Salivary gland-type lung carcinomas are uncommon neoplasms of the lung, representing less than 1% of all lung tumors. The two most common among them are adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Although they usually have an indolent behavior, adenoid cystic carcinomas can be more aggressive, with 5-year survival as low as 55%.

Background: Acne scars commonly occur in almost 95% of adolescents having acne. Depression and the psychosocial impact of acne have been studied by previous researchers but there are few studies on acne scar patients.

Objectives: To study the prevalence of depression, body image, and quality of life in patients with acne scars and the correlation of depression with body image and quality of life.

Precluding Menstrual Cups from the Mainstream: A Prospective Interventional Analysis Among Urban Women in India.

Introduction: Menstrual cups are considered a viable alternative to other menstrual hygiene products in many developed countries yet majority of women in India use pads and cloth for their menstrual hygiene.

Methodology: This prospective interventional questionnaire-based study was conducted among 100 women who tried cups for three menstrual cycles with the aim of highlighting the challenges posed by socio-cultural factors in India which prevent menstrual cups from becoming a mainstream menstrual hygiene product.

Results: Familiarity with pads delayed the switch to menstrual cups even among women who were aware of their benefits.

Clinical and Health Economic Evaluation of a Novel Device for Fecal Management in Bedridden Patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and health economic benefits of a novel indwelling lattice-based device for fecal management in bedridden patients.

Materials And Methods: This nonrandomized, two-arm study included 70 bedridden patients (≥18 years exhibiting liquid stool) referred from the ICU of surgery and medicine units of a 2000-bed tertiary care referral hospital, assigned to the intervention and control groups. About 35 patients were eligible to be included in the intervention group while 35 patients with contraindications to the intervention device were included in the usual care control group.

A Rare Presentation of Bifid Tibialis Anterior Tendon in a Case of Idiopathic Congenital Talipes Equinovarus.

Introduction: Idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is one of the most extensively researched topics for decades. It has been associated with various musculoskeletal anomalies which maybe bony, vascular or involving the ligaments and muscles which may have a direct or indirect impact on its pathoanatomy. This report describes an unusual presentation of a bifid tibialis anterior tendon (TAT) in a case of CTEV.

Impact of cadaver training for learning abdominal wall reconstruction: our early experience.

Purpose: Assess the utility of a hands-on cadaver workshop for teaching abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) using components separation technique.

Methods: Over a year, from June 2022 to July 2023, 112 surgeons participated in seven training courses focused on the eTEP technique for inguinal and ventral hernias. The workshops covered theoretical learning sessions followed by hands-on training using frozen human cadavers.

Long-term outcomes of laparoscopic longitudinal pancreatojejunostomy and modified Frey's procedure for patients of chronic pancreatitis: A 10-year experience.

Introduction: To mitigate the morbidity associated with open procedures for chronic pancreatitis (CP), there is a paradigm shift towards the laparoscopic approach. However, since these procedures are technically demanding, literature is still limited. We present our experience and long-term outcomes in the management of CP with laparoscopic surgical procedures.

Access to Nephrology Care for Pregnancy-Related Acute Kidney Injury in Low- and Lower-Middle-Income Countries: A Perspective.

Pregnancy-related acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major public health problem with substantial maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Women with pregnancy-related AKI require immediate access to nephrology care to prevent deleterious kidney and health outcomes. Patients with pregnancy-related AKI in low-income and lower-middle-income countries experience disparities in access to comprehensive nephrology care for many reasons.

High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygenation for sclerotherapy of facial and upper airway vascular malformations in pediatric patients: Case series.

We report anesthesia management of sclerotherapy for vascular malformations (VMs) of the upper airway and face of pediatric patients conducted under sedation using a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen delivery system. Sclerotherapy procedures were carried out in six patients (five males, one female; age group: 5-12 years). The patients were sedated with midazolam, fentanyl, ketamine, and graded doses of propofol along with continuous oxygen delivery using HFNC.
