 | Internal plate fixation of fractures: short history and recent developments. | Fig10: Railed plates (left) have limited bone-plate contact area compared to contact plates (right)Bottom Line: Moreover, clinical studies of newer plate types have failed to show a superior outcome.No positive correlation was found between either.Results of ongoing experimental results are encouraging. | Uhthoff HK, Poitras P, Backman DS - J Orthop Sci (2006) |

 | Rumpel-Leede phenomenon associated with noninvasive blood pressure monitoring -A case report-. | Figure 1: View of petechiae rash located on the left upper arm distal to the blood pressure cuff.Bottom Line: The first most likely cause is vascular fragility in microangiopathy as a result of DM and chronic steroid use.The second is the increased venous pressure during cycling of the blood pressure cuff in a hypertensive state.Anesthesiologists need to be aware that... | Jeon YS, Kim YS, Lee JA, Seo KH, In JH - Korean J Anesthesiol (2010) |

 | Bilateral post-injection fibrosis of the gluteal region mimicking lumbar disc herniation: a case report. | Figure 2: The distribution of the palpable nodules in the right gluteal region.Bottom Line: Pain in the gluteal region is not a frequently described clinical feature of this condition.Many reports in the literature emphasize a contracture rather than pain.Post-injection fibrosis in the gluteal region may mimic lumbar disc herniation and a detailed... | Kose KC, Altinel L, Isikb C, Komurcuc E, Mutlud S, et al. - Orthop Rev (Pavia) (2009) |
|
 | Hepatic artery aneurysm repair: a case report. | Figure 2: Angiogram showing the patient's large hepatic artery aneurysm.Bottom Line: Therefore, surgery was delayed for 3 months when aneurysm repair with reconstruction of the hepatic artery was successfully performed.The patient made a good recovery and was well at his routine outpatient check-ups.There is no significant difference in cardiac... | Jaunoo SS, Tang TY, Uzoigwe C, Walsh SR, Gaunt ME - J Med Case Reports (2009) |

 | Diabetic retinopathy and peripapillary retinal thickness. | Figure 1: Optic coherence tomography scans were performed at the macula and peripapillary zones, indicated by the line superimposed on the fundus photograph. Horizontal (H) and vertical (V) scans of the macula were centered through the fovea. Superior (S), inferior (I)...Bottom Line: Baseline optical coherence tomography was employed to measure retinal thickness in the macula (horizontal, vertical, and central) and the peripapillary zone (superior, inferior, nasal, and concentric to the optic disc).Seven baseline parameters were correlated... | Cho HY, Lee DH, Chung SE, Kang SW - Korean J Ophthalmol (2010) |

 | Acute Cerebral Infarction Following Intravenous Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitor for Acute Myocardial... | Figure 2: Coronary angiogram reveals total occlusion of distal right coronary artery with a large occlusive thrombus.Bottom Line: Stroke is a rare but serious complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Currently, glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitor is used in clinical practice for acute coronary syndromes and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs).The incidence of stroke in... | Choi WG, Oh SW, Kim YJ, Lim JG, Jo YS - Korean Circ J (2011) |

 | Interventional radiology in the management of portal hypertension. | Figure 0006: Budd-Chiari syndrome secondary to diffuse hepatic vein occlusion, not amenable to angioplasty. The classical ‘spider-web’ appearance of small intrahepatic venous collaterals is seen with diffuse thrombosis of the hepatic veins (A); transcaval TIPS directly...Bottom Line: The main aim of any procedure is to reduce the portal pressure by either direct or indirect methods.This can be achieved with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), recanalization of the hepatic vein outflow, recanalization of the portal vein... | Punamiya SJ - Indian J Radiol Imaging (2008) |

 | Chronic subdural hematoma leading to fatal cavernous sinus thrombosis. | Figure 0002: CT Image showing subdural hematoma in same patientBottom Line: Presented is a case of cavernous sinus thrombosis in a young female with fatal outcome.Computed tomography scan of brain showed chronic subdural hematoma.An attempt is made to correlate the aetiopathology with the clinical features of this rare case presentation. | Kumar S, Jain AP, Jain S, Kale SK - J Emerg Trauma Shock (2009) |
|
 | Magnetic characterization of superparamagnetic nanoparticles pulled through model membranes. | Figure 1: TEM of PLGA particles in experimental perilymph.Bottom Line: Electron microscopy confirmed the movement of the particles through both RWM models.As prospective carriers of therapeutic substances, polymers containing superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were succesfully pulled through the live RWM.The force required... | Barnes AL, Wassel RA, Mondalek F, Chen K, et al. - Biomagn Res Technol (2007) |

 | Agenesis of lung - a report of two cases. | F002C: Bronchogram showing reduced air spaces on the left side and a normal left main bronchus. Normal on the right side.Bottom Line: Agenesis of lung is a rare congenital disorder.We are reporting varied degree of pulmonary agenesis in two adult patients. | Kisku KH, Panigrahi MK, Sudhakar R, Nagarajan A, et al. - Lung India (2008) |
