Background: Distal femur fractures make up 6 to 7% of all femur fractures. Various plating options for distal femur fracture are conventional buttress plates, fixed-angle devices, and locking plates. This study was planned to evaluate and explore locking compression plate fixation in distal end femur fractures which is expected to provide a stable fixation with minimum exposure, early mobilization, less complications and a better quality of life.
Methods: The study was conducted as prospective clinical study in 20 skeletally mature patients with x-ray evidence of distal femur fracture fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria, operated with distal femur LCP plating. Patients were assessed radiologically and classified according to distal femur fracture classification and outcome graded as excellent, good, fair and poor based on Lysholm Knee Score.
Results: Out of 15 excellent outcome cases, 3 cases were type A1 fracture, 1 case had type A3, 2 cases had type B1 and B2 each, 5 cases had type C2 and 2 cases had type C3 fracture. 1 case with good outcome was type C3. 1 case with fair outcome was type B2. While 3 cases with poor outcome were type A1, A2 and C3.
Conclusions: The DF-LCP is an ideal implant to use for fractures of the distal femur. However, accurate positioning and fixation are required to produce satisfactory results. We recommend use of this implant in Type A and C, osteoporotic and periprosthetic fractures.

Percutaneous fixation of bilateral anterior column acetabular fractures: A ca...Apollo Hospitals
The treatment of displaced acetabular fractures with open
reduction and internal fixation has gained general acceptance. This is done either by anterior, posterior or combined approaches depending on the location of these fractures. These procedures may be associated with various complications like significant blood loss, infection, lengthy operative times, heterotopic ossification and neurovascular complications.
There are clinical situations where open reduction is either
not feasible (due to associated medical problems) or when the fractures are not significantly displaced, then minimal invasive means of internal fixation of these fractures seems to be an attractive option. Percutaneous screw fixation of the anterior column of the acetabulum has been a challenging task because of its unique anatomy (narrow corridor of bone) and risk of intra-articular penetration.
Limb Complex Multi system Injury (Mangled Extremity) is one of the most challenging problems in Orthopaedic surgery. Mangled Extremity is a limb with an injury to at least three out of four systems (soft tissue, bone, nerves, and vessels). Decision have to be made either amputation + Prosthesis or limb salvage procedure. The decision of Primary Amputation in the acute setting is difficult for the patient, family, & the treating surgical team. The majority of mangled extremities are potentially salvageable for which, in the acute setting, a treatment plan needs to be made.

Open debridement and radiocapitellar replacement in primary and post-traumati...Alberto Mantovani
Background: Postmortem and clinical studies have shown an early and prevalent involvement of the radiohumeral
joint in primary and secondary arthritis of the elbow. The lateral resurfacing elbow (LRE) prosthesis
has recently been developed for the treatment of lateral elbow arthritis. However, few data have been
published on LRE results.
Materials and methods: A prospective multicenter study was designed to assess LRE preliminary results.
There were 20 patients (average age, 55 years). Preoperative diagnosis were primary osteoarthritis in 11
and post-traumatic osteoarthritis in 9. All patients underwent open debridement and LRE prosthesis.
Patients were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively with the Mayo Elbow Performance Score
(MEPS), modified American Shoulder Elbow Surgeons (m-ASES) elbow assessment, and the Quick
Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Quick-DASH). Mean follow-up was 22.6 months.
Results: At the last follow-up, the mean improvement of MEPS and m-ASES was 35 (P ¼ .001) and 34
(P ¼ .001) respectively; the average Quick DASH decreased by 29 (P ¼ .001). Average range of motion
was improved by 35 (P ¼.001). MEPI results were excellent in 12 patients, good in 2, and fair and poor in
3 each. Mild overstuffing was observed in 5 patients, and an implant malpositioning in 3. The implant
survival rate was 100%.
Conclusion: LRE showed promising results in this prospective investigation. Most patients had an
uneventful postoperative course and have shown a painless elbow joint, with satisfactory functional
recovery at short-term follow-up. Further studies with longer follow-up are warranted.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
