The most common type of upper extremity fracture is DRF (distal radius fractures), which account for 44 percent of all forearm and hand fractures. The goal of surgical treatment for DRF that is unstable is to reestablish wrist function. Volar locking plates, according to some in the literature, are the most versatile surgical approach for treating these fractures. The goal of this study is to find out if the volar locking plate is the only surgical approach for treating all types of distal radius fractures while also lowering the rate of postoperative complications. Materials and Methods: For unstable distal radius fractures, a volar locking plate was used to treat 104 fractures in 98 patients with an average age of 48,5 years. AO/OTA classified all fractures as A2-3 in 27 cases, B1-3 in 45 cases, and C1-3 in 32 occurrences. The majority of patients were operated on within 48 to 72 hours of their injuries. In all DRFs, a volar locking device was used, as well as an extended flexor ca...

 Improved maternal health remains a major priority for the United Nations in general and the World Health Organization in particular, both of which have prioritised it in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDO). Surprisingly, physiological rather than psychosocial deaths are more commonly cited as causes of complications during childbirth and pregnancy, whereas in our least developed countries, where maternal mortality is high, cultural and psychological issues expose women to unwanted pregnancies and psychic traumas that manifest themselves during parturition in the form of complications. As a result of eclampsia, haemorrhage, and work defects, the woman and her baby are at risk of death. In this paper, we propose a protocol for assisting childbirth that is based on the therapeutic practises of our African cultures. Indeed, our forefathers were able to solve delivery difficulties through speech. The interview with the woman who had problems ...

The reconstruction of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) has become the standard of care for a torn ACL in active, young athletes. Various technical complications during the surgery are documented. Of the complications pertaining to the bony tunnel preparation, the posterior femoral blow out is common. In this report we describe a complication that can occur while preparing the Tibial tunnel – “Tibial blow out”. This is a complication of anterior placement of the tibial tunnel and this has not been reported in the literature. We describe the identification, the possible mechanism, prevention and management of such an intra operative complication. Author(s) Details A.

Participants were classified into 5 groups depending on their BMI according to WHO criteria as underweight, normal weight, overweight, obese & morbidly obese. SPSS was used with p-value of< 0.05 to calculate statistical significance. Results: The frequency of abortion, postdated pregnancy and Caesarean section were higher in obese women compared to non-obese women.

Aims: To evaluate the effect of an organotherapic drug, produced from the pancreas of a young pig, on glycemic alterations in AIDS patients. Methodology: Current study was carried out in a double-blind, placebo controlled and randomized design. AIDS patients who had high fasting glucose (>110 mg/dL) were selected so that the effect of the organotherapic drug could be evaluated. The patients were divided into two groups: Group I comprised patients who received the organotherapic drug diluted in 1x1012 alcohol/ water 8%, once a day, with a sublingual-administered fasting dose of 10 drops, during four months. Group II consisted of patients receiving placebo once a day at the same dosage. Glucose oxidase method and ELISA, following the manufacturer’s instructions, respectively determined levels of glucose and insulin before treatment and monthly until four months after the start of treatment. Results: Results registered hyperglycemia in 30% of the patients (60/200), hig...
