Functional outcomes in paediatric supracondylar fracture humerus treated with percutaneous pinning with cross K-wires
Conclusion Use of a medial entry pin for the treatment of paediatric supracondylar humerus fractures by closed reduction and percutaneous pinning using cross K-wires is safe as far as iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury and vascular complications are concerned, if an adequate technique is followed. Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning with medial and lateral cross K-wires offers a practically feasible, economically viable and an effective treatment method for displaced supracondylar fracture humerus.

Umbilical swelling: A diagnostic dilemma
We report a case of primary umbilical endometriosis a rare clinical entity, with an incidence of 0.5–1% of all the patients of endometriosis. 1 Endometriosis as such is a common gynecological condition and pelvis being the most common site of the disease.

A comprehensive review on lipoid proteinosis with emphasis on ECM1 gene mutation
Publication date: Available online 22 May 2017 Source:Apollo Medicine Author(s): Santosh K. Swain, Mahesh C. Sahu, Matam Kavita The lipoid proteinosis (LP) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, caused by mutations of extracellular matrix protein 1 gene (ECM1). The ECM1 helps in angiogenesis and connective tissue matrix generation, especially in bone and skin. The ECM1 helps in development of skin and its maintenance whereas in LP auto antibodies are raised against ECM1. Old LP patients revealed with turgid skin infiltration and thickening of general skin with a waxy and yellow colored appearance. With minor injury o...

Re-initiation of oral-anticoagulants in survivors of hemorrhagic stroke
Publication date: Available online 22 May 2017 Source:Apollo Medicine Author(s): Pushpendra Nath Renjen, Dinesh Chaudhari Intra-cerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most feared and the deadliest complication of oral anticoagulant therapy, i.e. warfarin (Coumadin). After such an occurrence, clinicians wonder whether their patients should resume anticoagulant therapy. The decisions to reverse and re-initiate anticoagulation hinge on the phase of stroke as the risk of thromboembolism outweighs risk of bleeding in the chronic phase. Hence in the short term, most patients with ICH will benefit from acute reversal of anticoagula...

Finally, it is a matter of controversy whether retroperitoneal hematomas should be surgically evacuated or conservatively treated and the final decision should be made after taking into consideration the patient's general condition and the possibility of permanent femoral or sciatic neuropathy due to compression syndrome.
