Study on Functional Outcome of Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing (ESIN) of Diaphyseal Fractures of Paediatric Long Bones | Chapter 1 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 11

Background: Since the introduction of titanium elastic nails (TENs) and the encouraging results of elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) in diaphyseal fractures of paediatric long bones, more and more orthopaedicians are offering ESIN with TENs to avoid the inherent problems of conservative treatment. The goal of this study was to see how well ESIN worked in diaphyseal fractures of paediatric long bones.

Methods: ESIN used TENs to treat 44 patients aged 5 to 15 years who had diaphyseal fractures of the femur, tibia, humerus, and forearm bones.

The femur took an average of 8.3 weeks to union, 7.3 weeks for the tibia, 7 weeks for the forearm bones, and 7.5 weeks for the humerus.

Pain at the insertion site was the most prevalent complication.

The lengthening of one patient's femur was 1.5 cm. One femur and one forearm patient both had joint stiffness. None of the patients had any delayed/non-union, sagittal/coronal/rotational mal-union, or deep infection. On the second or third day, partial weight bearing (PWB) commenced, progressing to full weight bearing (FWB) after 6 to 10 weeks.

Conclusions: ESIN with TENs appears to be a reasonable and safe way to avoid the problems associated with conservative treatment because it is the least invasive and allows for early PWB/FWB, which leads to early personal hygiene/toilet independence, as well as early social integration/return to school.

A Prospective Study about Safety and Efficacy of Perioperative Lidocaine Infusion | Chapter 09 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Opioids cause clinically significant side effects such as respiratory depression, immunosuppression, muscle rigidity, negative inotropism, nausea, vomiting, hyperalgesia, urine retention, postoperative ileus, and drowsiness. Perioperative opioids are a major contributor to the United States' and other countries' opioid epidemics. Non-opioid analgesics, particularly lidocaine, are becoming more common for perioperative use as a result of this. A total of 185 adult patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control group I (105 patients) [fentanyl group] or group ii (80 patients) [opioid-free anaesthesia group]. Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg bolus followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h infusion intraoperatively, and 1.5-2 mg/kg/h infusion for 2-8 hours postoperatively were given to patients in both groups at anaesthetic induction. Intraoperatively, both groups received analgesic adjuvants such as diclofenac 75 mg, paracetamol 1 gm, and mgso4 30-50 mg/kg. If the mean arterial pressure (map)

A Brief Study of Middleware Technologies: Programming Applications and Management Systems | Chapter 15 | Novel Research Aspects in Mathematical and Computer Science Vol. 1

  Many platforms, services, applications, hardware, and operating systems are connected through the middleware layer. Because the middleware layer abstracts much low-level complexity and makes applications and software systems portable, it allows disparate systems to interface and function together in harmony. Middleware technologies enable software engineers to swiftly construct software systems and applications, allowing developers to focus on more important tasks. This chapter examines several types of middleware systems and discusses middleware capabilities, middleware operation, middleware's function in cloud-based systems, and the best middleware platforms to use. Middleware systems are widely utilised and can be found in practically any software system or application. Middleware programmes provide as a link between many sorts of systems and protocols. They serve as a mechanism for various systems. To successfully exchange information, it runs on a variety of operating system

Patients’ Perspective of Acute Post-operative Pain Management: A Multicentre Survey of Tertiary Hospitals in Maharashtra, India | Chapter 08 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 When postoperative pain is adequately controlled, patients' satisfaction and patient-related outcomes (PROs) increase. Understanding the patients' perspective is crucial since it supports in the formulation of improvement strategies. Because wrong attitudes and assumptions might block pain alleviation, patients' attitudes and beliefs are critical. As a result, a multicenter study of patients' attitudes, beliefs, experiences, and satisfaction levels with acute postoperative pain management was done in Maharashtra's tertiary hospitals. In addition, the responses were examined to evaluate if the Acute Pain Service (APS) resulted in improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. A 13-item questionnaire adapted from previous studies was used to capture patients' experiences with postoperative pain treatment. The responses of 179 patients are included in the study. The findings revealed that 91.6 percent of patients experienced postoperative pain, with 75.5 percent
