Authors: Mansour Mohammed M. , Abdeen Mohammed
Published: August 2024

Purpose

Assessment of the short-term results of arthroscopic fixation of types II and III fractures of the tibial eminence using cannulated screws.

Type of study

This was a prospective study.

Patents and methods

A review of 16 patients with Meyers and McKeever type II or III fractures of the tibial eminence were treated with arthroscopic cannulated screw fixation at Zagazig University Hospital between May 2013 and January 2016. The International Knee Documentation Committee form, Lysholm Knee Score, and Tegner Activity scale for assessment were used for preoperative and postoperative assessments. The study group included seven men and nine women. Their average age was 25.4 years (range: 17.5–43 years). Mean follow-up time was 27 months (range: 24–32 months). The study included six type II and 10 type III fractures.

Results

At follow-up clinical examination, all the patients with types II and III lesions had a negative Lachman test result and a full range of motion, except one patient with flexion contractures (extension lag 10°). The mean Tegner score was 7 and mean Lysholm score was 96. All patients except one returned to preinjury activity levels. However, in general, the best outcomes were seen in younger patients who had significantly better scores for the International Knee Documentation Committee. In six cases, the intermeniscal ligament was interposed between the tibia and the avulsed fracture and was retracted to allow reduction of the fracture, and there were no significant differences in the outcomes of these patients.

Conclusions

Arthroscopic fixation with cannulated screws for types II and III of avulsion fractures of the tibial spine provides a satisfactory outcome. Arthroscopic treatment allows for complete inspection of the joint regarding associated injuries, fast rehabilitation, and decreased hospital stay. Moreover, fixation with cannulated screws gives firm fixation of the fragment and an early start of the range of motion.
Dual mobility cup as a treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in elderly
Authors: Elkhadrawe Tarek A.
Published: August 2024

Background

The main goal in the treatment of femoral neck fractures in the elderly is to enable early mobilization. Hemiarthroplasty is considered the gold standard line of treatment. In the past decade, total hip replacement (THR) was introduced to the orthopedic community with the advantage of better pain relief and functional outcome. However, the reported dislocation rates after THR in femoral neck fractures remained higher than the rates after hemiarthroplasty. Nowadays, there is renewed interest in dual mobility cups to solve the problems of hip instabilities for various reasons. Dual mobility cups aim to decrease the dislocation rate by associating two articular surfaces: one with a larger diameter situated between a metallic cup and a polyethylene insert, thus utilizing the concept of a large head size to reduce dislocation, and the other one with a smaller diameter situated between the femoral head and the retentive polyethylene insert to achieve more mobility. The authors believe that the results of the dual mobility concept after femoral neck fractures are under-reported, with few papers discussing the outcome specifically in the Egyptian population.

Aim

This study was carried out to assess the dislocation rate and clinical results for cemented THR with a dual mobility cup as the treatment of femoral neck fractures in elderly patients, after a minimum period of 1 year.

Settings and design

A prospective case series study was carried out at El Hadara University Hospital, Alexandria University.

Patients and methods

This study included 31 patients (32 hips) with displaced femoral neck fractures who were admitted to El Hadara University Hospital, Alexandria, Egypt. Their mean age was 66.6±6.3 years. There were 15 females and 16 males. All the patients were treated using a cemented dual mobility cup for THR using the standard posterior approach. Functional assessment was performed using the Harris hip score (HHS) with the assistance of physiotherapists to avoid bias.

Results

No dislocations were encountered in this series over 1 year of follow-up. The mean operative time was 136.9 min. The average blood loss was 756.3 ml. The mean HHS improved over the follow-up period from 80.3±7.9 (95% confidence interval: 74–86) at 12 weeks to an average of 92.6±11.1 (95% confidence interval: 88.7–96.5) at the 1-year follow-up. This increase in HHS was not statistically significant (P=0.143).

Conclusions

Dual mobility cup THR is a good method for the treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly as it provides good stability, pain relief, and good function.
Early results of iliosacral screw(s) fixation in the treatment of Tile’s type C unstable pelvic injuries
Authors: Elkhadrawe Tarek , El Bakoury Ahmed
Published: August 2024

Background

Pelvic ring disruptions are associated with increased patients’ morbidity and mortality. Several methods have been advocated for treatment of such devastating injuries. Surgical fixation is now regarded as the treatment of choice of unstable pelvic disruptions. Among different methods of surgical fixation, iliosacral screws (ISS) have shown promising results in the treatment of the disruption of the posterior pelvic ring.

Aim

The aim of this study was to report the clinical and radiological results of ISS for fixation of the posterior pelvic disruption in completely unstable pelvic ring injury (Tile’s C).

Settings and design

A prospective study was held at Alexandria University.

Patients and methods

This study involved a prospective assessment of 27 patients with Tile’s C pelvic disruption who had ISS fixation. The mean duration of postoperative follow up was 28.96±9.28 (12–49) months. The clinical outcome was assessed with postoperative Majeed score and the rate of the postoperative complications. The radiological outcome was evaluated by the degree of postoperative displacement on the anteroposterior plain radiographs.

Statistical analysis

SPSS version 20.0.

Results

The mean postoperative Majeed score was 79.11±13.01. There was a statistically significant improvement in the postoperative vertical displacement (P<0.001*). The incidence of the postoperative complications was 25.9%.

Conclusion

Fixation with ISS is an effective procedure in the management of completely unstable posterior pelvic ring injuries.
Marginal impaction as a determinant of functional outcome in acetabular fractures involving the posterior wall
Authors: Sadek Fouad , Abo-Elsoud Mohamed
Published: August 2024

Background

Several variables have been accused for the poor functional results following posterior wall fractures. The authors conducted this study to identify the relative risk of marginal impaction fractures for developing a poor result.

Patients

Cases of acetabular fractures with posterior wall components associated with marginal impaction were compared with the same pattern of fractures without marginal impaction. Patients with recognized variables that may affect the outcome were excluded, including femoral head injuries, nonanatomic reductions, avascular necrosis, deep infection, heterotopic ossification grade III and IV, obesity, and problematic lower limb injuries. Marginal impaction injuries were openly elevated and autografted from the greater trochanter, followed by rigid internal fixation for early postoperative mobilization. A total of 40 cases were excluded for the aforementioned reasons, leaving 27 cases of marginal impaction and 38 cases of control. The average period of follow-up was 35.7 months.

Results

Based on the Merle D’Aubigné and Postel functional score, the marginal impaction grafting group revealed 11 (40.7%) excellent, 7 (25.9%) very good, 6 (22.2%) good, one (3.8%) fair, and two (7.4%) poor results. However, the control group showed 16 (42.1%) excellent, 10 (26.3%) very good, 8 (21.1%) good, one (2.6%) fair, and three (7.9%) poor results.

Conclusion

Taking marginal impaction as a sole variable, adequate grafting and fixation of the osteochondral fragment did not seem to make a statistically significant difference (P=0.9) regarding the end functional results of these patients.
Arthroscopic versus open ankle fusion
Authors: Salama Khaled , Rakha Mohamed
Published: August 2024

Background

Open ankle arthrodesis has been the standard operative treatment for any case of advanced osteoarthritis ankle, but the arthroscopic technique is gained popularity.

Patients methods

This study was conducted retrospectively reviewing surgeries undertaken between January 2010 and June 2012 for ankles with osteoarthritis. The authors performed 42 ankle arthrodesis procedures on 42 patients. A total of 20 patients were included in group A (arthroscopic ankle fusion), and the other 22 patients were in group B (open anterior ankle fusion). Patients of each group were assessed using preoperative Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale (AOS) score; both the pain and disability components were used to calculate the total score.

Results

In group A, all the cases were united, with the average time for union being 12.8±1.19 weeks. Of 20 ankles, 65% showed signs of clinical and radiological union by 12 weeks. The early results showed major decrease in AOS from 116±8.6 preoperatively to 19.4±2.3 postoperatively. This shows that the arthroscopic fusion was able to decrease the score by an average of 97.7±10.2 points. Long-term follow-up was 71.8±8.6 months and showed that the early postoperative results did not change significantly: 55% of patients still had excellent outcome, and four patients (20%) develop subtalar osteoarthritis. In group B, 21 cases (>95%) were united, with an average time to union of 13.3±5.6 weeks. The early results showed major decrease in AOS from 114±7.24 preoperatively to 26.68±6.95 postoperatively. This shows that the open anterior fusion was able to decrease the score by an average of 88.2±7.2 points. Long-term follow up was 83.5±12 months and showed that the early postoperative results changed significantly, where nine patients (40.9%) still had excellent outcome, and nine patients (40.9%) developed subtalar osteoarthritis and four of them needed further subtalar fusion.

Conclusion

This was a comparative study that involved two groups with two techniques of ankle fusion, showing early and late results. There was no significant difference between both the groups regarding early results, but long-term follow-up clarifies the advantages of arthroscopic fusion technique.
Should all superficial peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex tears be arthroscopically repaired?
Authors: Mahmoud Mostafa , Afifi Ahmed
Published: August 2024

Background

Superficial peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears are commonly encountered during diagnostic wrist arthroscopy done for other causes of wrist pain. The authors hypothesized that debridement of these tears in symptomatic post-traumatic superficial tears may be a sufficient alternative to arthroscopic repair.

Patients and methods

The authors conducted a prospective study including 29 patients with superficial peripheral TFCC tears (with no distal radioulnar joint instability) treated arthroscopically between 2011 and 2014. There were 26 males (89.7%) and three females (10.3%), with a mean age of 32.90 years (range: 21–59 years). The dominant hand was affected in 19 patients (65.5%) and the nondominant in 10 patients (34.5%). Patients were divided into two groups. The first group included 14 patients to whom arthroscopic shaving and debridement (debridement group) were done. The second group included 15 patients for whom arthroscopic repair (repair group) was done using the outside-in technique. Patients were evaluated with the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, the quick score disability arm shoulder hand (DASH) score, and Mayo modified wrist score.

Results

There were no statistically significant differences in pain, disability, and functional scoring between both groups in the short-term follow-up. In the first group, the mean follow-up period was 21.87 months. The mean VAS improved from 3.53 to 1.07, the mean quick DASH score improved from 36.33 to 21.60, and the mean Mayo modified wrist score improved from 71.33 to 85.33. In the second group, the mean follow-up period was 19.71 months. The mean VAS improved from 3.86 to 1, the mean quick DASH score improved from 34.43 to 19.79, and the mean Mayo modified wrist score improved from 77.14 to 90.

Conclusion

Arthroscopic debridement gives comparable short-term results to repair in symptomatic superficial tear of the TFCC presenting with pain and no instability. Debridement group showed less complication and reoperation rate.
Open-fracture dislocation of the talus
Authors: Abed El-Negery A.
Published: August 2024

Purpose

The aim was to evaluate the incidence of infection and functional outcome of these injuries.

Patients and methods

A total of 14 patients with open-talar fracture dislocations or total dislocations of the talus were managed and the functional results evaluated between November 2012 and December 2016. Eleven of these patients were males and three were females. The injuries were sustained between the 20- and 50-year age group . The right side was affected in 10 and the left side was injured in four patients. Road traffic accident was the cause in nine patients and fall from the height was the cause in five patients. The principles of management were debridement and minimal fixation of fractures.

Results

The mean follow-up period was 33 months (range: 16–50 months). Two of 14 cases (14.2%) developed infection. One patient had resolved clinically with antibiotics alone. One patient had persistent drainage 4 months after injury and required late ankle and subtalar arthrodesis. The functional outcome according to Boston Children’s Hospital ankle grading system was excellent in six (42.85%), good in five (35.71%), fair in two (14.28%), and failure in one (7.14%). There was no evidence of osteonecrosis or collapse of the talar dome.

Conclusion

In conclusion, patients with major open-fracture dislocation of the talus have a significant incidence of the best results with modern orthopedic techniques that dramatically decreased the rates of infection, avascular necrosis (AVN), and poor functional results although continued work is required to improve patient care and outcomes. Open-talar fractures should be managed as emergently including administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics, irrigation of the wound, operative debridement, reduction, and minimal fixation.
Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion versus posterolateral fusion for the treatment of low-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis in adults
Authors: El Naggar Ahmed , Elgawhary Shamel , Khalid Mohammed
Published: August 2024

Background

Isthmic spondylolisthesis means slippage of one vertebra relative to the next caudal vertebra as a result of an abnormality in the pars interarticularis. Isthmic spondylolisthesis has three subtypes: subtype A in which there is stress fracture of the pars (spondylolysis), subtype B in which the pars is elongated, and subtype C in which there is acute fracture of the pars. Isthmic spondylolisthesis is the most common cause of low back pain in adolescents. Spinal fusion is the mainstay of the surgical treatment of low-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis. Spinal fusion can be achieved by posterolateral fusion (PLF) or circumferential fusion. The three basic techniques for circumferential fusion include anterior lumbar interbody fusion, posterior lumbar interbody fusion, and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).

Patients and methods

Fifty patients with low-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis managed with spinal fusion at the Zagazig University Hospital. Patients were divided into two groups: group I included patients managed by TLIF and group II included patients managed by PLF. The mean age of patients was 34.6 years (range: 26–43 years) in group I and 36.8 years (range: 28–46) in group II. Sex distribution was nine males and 16 females in group I and seven males and 18 females in group II. Exclusion criteria included patients with high-grade spondylolisthesis, traumatic spondylolisthesis, degenerative spondylolisthesis, neoplastic spondylolisthesis, patients with acute or chronic infection, and congenital malformation.

Results

No patients were dropped in the follow-up. In both groups, the mean visual analog scale (VAS) for back pain and leg pain and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) showed statistically significant difference between the values obtained preoperatively and the values obtained at the 1-year follow-up visit. In comparison between both groups for the change in the VAS for back and leg pain and ODI score, group I gave a significant difference regarding the change in the VAS for back pain compared to group II. However, the change in the VAS for leg pain and ODI was not statistically significant.

Conclusion

Both TLIF and PLF are effective options for the treatment of low-grade isthmic spondylolisthesis in adults. However, TLIF gives better clinical outcome, so it is considered a better option.
Pronator teres rerouting transfer as an alternative to green’s transfer in cerebral palsy patients
Authors: Ibrahiem Mohamed A. , Abdel Maksoud Mohamed S.
Published: August 2024

Background

Hand function limitations are common in all types of cerebral palsy (CP) secondary to wrist-flexion deformity and forearm pronation. Flexion posture of the wrist decreases the mechanical advantage of digital flexor tendons, causing weak grip, weak pinch, and precluding a normal visual feedback of the hand. The Green’s transfer using flexor carpi ulnaris to extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) tendon transfer was a gold-standard procedure to correct the flexed position of the wrist and adding to supination power of the forearm, but after wide use of this procedure over the years, many cases with reversal of deformity were developed, but making any further help for those patients is very difficult. That arouses the need of other procedures to avoid this serious complication after Green’s procedure.

Patients and methods

From 2008 to 2011 in 51 CP forearms in 37 patients (7–16 years old) with wrist flexion and ulnar deviation deformity and forearm pronation deformity, the authors assessed the results of PT tendon transfer to ECRB after rerouting of the muscle through the interosseous membrane according to hand function, improvement of daily activity, grip strength, and esthetics with at least 8 years of follow-up. Preoperatively, all patients are examined and only patients with at least a neutral wrist position and midprone position of the forearm passively can be reached and were included in the study.

Results

After a final assessment of all patients after a 8-year follow-up, we have comparable results to Green’s procedure for wrist extension flexion range, active supination, hand function, and grip strength, with no reversal of deformity in any of the patients with a shorter procedure with a small single-forearm incision.

Conclusion

PT transfer to ECRB in CP patients with flexion and pronation deformity of the forearm can replace the Green procedure with avoidance of miserable complication of reversal of deformity, especially in skeletally immature patients.

Assessment Of The Neurotoxicity Of Ethanol Leaf Extract Of Ficus Benjamina (Weeping Fig) On Brain Of Wistar Rats
Authors: Udonkang Mfoniso , Inyang Imeobong , Fidelis Favour , Isamoh Theresa
Published: August 2024

Ficus benjamina has been proven to have medicinal potential, especially in alleviating some brain pathologies but there are few works on its neurotoxic effect. This study investigated the acute toxicity and effect of ethanol crude leaf extract of Ficus benjamina on the histology of some parts of the brain. Twenty-nine (29) Wistar rats weighing 123g-190g were used for the study. LD50 was determined with nine (9) rats using Lorke’s method. Twenty (20) rats were divided into four (4) groups of 5 animals each. The control group was administered water and feed. Low dose (500 mg/kg), medium dose (1000 mg/kg), and high dose (1500 mg/kg) of extract were administered for twenty-one (21) days. On the 21st day, all the animals were weighed and sacrificed and their brains were harvested and processed histologically by the formalin-fixed-paraffin wax embedding method. The tissue blocks were sectioned and stained using haematoxylin and eosin, Periodic acid Schiff, and GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein). The results showed that the LD50 was ≤5000 mg/kg. There was no statistical significant difference in the body weights of the animals before and after the experiment (p=). Histopathological changes showed normal histology of cells in the choroid plexus, hippocampal CA3 area, and cerebral frontal cortex, with normal glycogen and astrocytes in the control. The low-dose group had mild reactive astrogliosis. There was mild atrophy, vacuolation, and mild reactive astrogliosis in the medium-dose group. The high-dose group had marked hypertrophy/hyperplasia, blood vessel dilation, vacuolation, necrosis, and mild reactive astrogliosis. The results suggest that prolonged consumption of the medium and high doses of the leaf extract of Ficus benjamina may cause marked neurotoxicity. The low dose is safer for administration.
A Review Of Adaptation To Climate Change Strategies By Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, Benthic And Fish Communities In A Tropical And Sub-Tropical Coastal Estuarine Ecosystem
Authors: Bassey Etim Job , Theophilus Gbaji Nshabum
Published: August 2024

Climate change, a global environmental phenomenon, is recognized as a major threat to survival of species and integrity of ecosystem world-wide. Adaptation strategies by species assemblages in an ecosystem are therefore aimed at reducing mortality, while they are expected to increase survival flexibilities of the species or group of species to a given climate variability scenario. These scenarios are known to impact directly and/or indirectly on the distribution, abundance, diversity, reproduction, growth and species composition. This paper reviews the adaptive strategies that will or are expected to enhance the survival of phytoplankton, zooplankton on and benthic communities/assemblages in the tropical and sub-tropical coastal waters, their community structure, life processes and roles in the ecosystem.

Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND: The rate of increase in infertility globally and in Nigeria is major concern. This may not be unconnected with impotency of the fallopian tube, the morphology of the uterine cavity as well as the endo-cervical canal. Observations have shown that infertility is the commonest reason for women seeking gynaecological consultation in Nigerian hospitals today. Hysterosalpingography is an effective imaging modality for diagnosis of pelvic pathologies.
OBJECTIVE: To identify common pathological findings in Hysterosalpingography patients with case of infertility.
MATERIALS AND METHOD: Retrospectively, 370 radiological reports from 9 diagnostic centres were assessed between November, 2022 - December, 2023. The data were categorized using Microsoft Excel and analysed using descriptive statistics. Chi-Square test of association with box plot was used for the proportion of findings across the states and between the common pathologies and age range.
RESULTS: Common pathological findings in HSG patients for infertility were unilateral and bilateral tubal blockage, unilateral and bilateral hydrosalpinxes, uterine fibroid, adhesions (uterine, cervical and tubal), uterine stenosis and Nabothian cyst. Unilateral tubal blockage 106 (28.6%) which prevailed across all the States was common and Nabothian cyst ranking the least 1 (0.3%). The Chi square test of association result reveals that Unilateral tubal blockage was significantly associated with all the age grouping, with the highest proportion present in the age grouping 32-37 years (ꭓ2 = 178.29; P < 0.05), which also was the age group with the highest population in the region of study.
CONCLUSION: Hysterosalpingography plays a vital role in the investigation of women with infertility in the area of study being readily available amongst other diagnostic modalities for infertility in females.

Démocratie et engagement en santé
Authors: Christian Saoût
Published: August 2024

After strong social mobilization in France, the States General of Health met in 1998 and 1999 to come up with a law consecrating health democracy. Extended to democracy in health, it is based on the proclamation of individual rights and methods of representation of users of the health system in regulatory bodies reserved for approved associations. This prospect has had the effect of leaving aside the participation of all in social and medico-social care and support, on the one hand, and in public debate, on the other. It is in this context that ascientific recommendation from the Haute Autorité de Santé outlines the prospects for commitment to health for all, in a participatory approach with all stakeholders in the health system.

En France, après une forte mobilisation sociale, des États généraux de la santé se sont réunis en 1998 et 1999 pour aboutir à une loi consacrant la démocratie sanitaire. Élargie à la démocratie en santé, elle repose sur la proclamation de droits individuels et des modalités de représentation des usagers du système de santé dans les instances de régulation réservée à des associations agréées. Cette perspective a eu pour effet de laisser de côté la participation de tous dans les soins et l’accompagnement social et médico-social, d’une part, et dans le débat public, d’autre part. C’est dans ce contexte qu’une recommandation scientifique de la Haute Autorité de Santé dessine les perspectives de l’engagement en santé pour tous, dans une approche participative avec l’ensemble des parties prenantes du système de santé.

Study on Maximum Power Limitation of Gillnet Fishing Vessels Based on EEXI
Authors: Lyu Chao , Zhu Shanshan , Liu Shuang
Published: August 2024

To address issues such as insufficient fishing vessel data records, low energy efficiency, and high emissions, this study constructs and validates a predictive model for the maximum power limitation of fishing vessels. Using gillnet fishing vessels as a case study, the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) reference line formula for gillnet fishing vessels is fitted using the nonlinear least squares method. Sensitivity analysis reveals power’s impact on fishing vessels’ energy efficiency. The maximum power calculation method for fishing vessels is derived by combining the EEXI calculation formula, the reference line formula, and the power-speed relationship. Three regression prediction models—Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Gradient Boosting—are used to construct prediction models with gross tonnage, length between perpendiculars, and gross tonnage and length between perpendiculars as inputs, respectively. Results show that power significantly impacts the energy efficiency of fishing vessels. The EEXI reference line formula for gillnet fishing vessels has MAE, MSE, MAPE, RMSE, and R^2 values of 13.3518, 369.5200, 18%, 19.2229, and 0.6366, respectively. The Random Forest regression model with gross tonnage as input performs best in predicting the maximum power limitation of gillnet fishing vessels, with MAE, MSE, MAPE, RMSE, and R^2 values of 5.61423, 6152.40982, 1.90888%, 78.43730, and 0.633062393, respectively. This paper provides a reliable calculation method and prediction model for the maximum power limitation of fishing vessels, offering systematic technical support and decision-making references for limiting the maximum power of fishing vessels.

King Edward VII (“KE”) had been synonymous with the medical school and its associated hall of residence at Sepoy Lines since the 1910s. After the school became the Medical Faculty, the illustrious name remained with the Hall, which was rebuilt in 1957. For almost 90 years, KE has kept alive the rich history and traditions of a bygone era that embodied the passion and pride of both Singapore and Malaysia. The heroism of some Keviians during the Second World War and other exploits have led to many legends of the Hall. In 1987, it moved to its present location at Kent Ridge, and opened its doors to students from all other faculties. We count many personalities among our alumni, including some of the most prominent physicians in our country. The exuberant hall life, cultural pursuits and achievements of the residents contribute to the strong spirit of endeavour. Keviians over the decades have lived, worked, played and served to uphold the motto that means so much to all of us: TO STRIVE, TO SEEK, TO SERVE.
Teaching Biochemistry to Medical Students in Singapore – From Organic Chemistry to Problem-based Learning
Authors: Khoo HE
Published: August 2024

The medical faculty in the National University of Singapore started in 1905 but the Chair in Biochemistry was only established in 1927. For many years the biochemistry course consisted of the teaching of the organic chemistry of substances of physiological importance, nutrition, metabolism and hormones. In 1961, clinical biochemistry was introduced and in the 1980s, genetics and molecular biology were included. By then, most of the organic chemistry content had been removed as greater emphasis was placed on clinical correlation. Laboratory classes consisted of mock glucose tolerance tests and the measurement of various enzymes. By the 1990s, students were no longer interested in such practical classes, so a bold decision was made around 1995 to remove laboratory classes from the curriculum. Unfortunately, this meant that the medical students who might have been interested in laboratory work could no longer do such work. However, the new curriculum in 1999 gave the department an opportunity to offer a laboratory course as an elective for interested students. This new curriculum adopted an integrated approach with Genetics being taught as part of Paediatrics, and a new module (Structural and Cell Biology) comprising aspects of cell biology and biochemistry was introduced. This module is currently taught by staff from Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry. Some biochemistry content is now incorporated into the clinical problem scenarios of problem-based learning such as jaundice, diabetes mellitus, anorexia nervosa, etc. So the evolution of teaching biochemistry to medical students in Singapore has paralleled worldwide trends and moved from the didactic teaching of organic chemistry of biomolecules to problem-based learning using clinical cases.

Context: The image above indicates that if the researcher decides to formulate a Green Recruitment variable argument, it can have a positive relationship and a significant influence on employee performance. Then the researchers modified this variable into Green Recruitment by adding Environmental & Natural elements with the aim of creating a company that upholds Sustainable Development.
 
Objective: The main objects in this article are Green Recruitment, Employee Performance, and Green Training which are formulated by Green Recruitment as an Independent variable, Green Training as a Moderation variable, and Employee Performance as an Independent variable.
 
Method: This research is quantitative research with an exploratory approach which uses a number of previous studies, especially the five studies mentioned above and the addition of two other studies regarding Green Recruitment. The data used in this research is primary data that researchers obtained from PT. Musi Hutan Persada in Indonesia has 300 employees. These data were analyzed using the smart PLS 4.0 analysis tool.
 
Results: The Green Recruitment variable can have a positive relationship and a significant influence on Employee Performance. This is because the P-Values in the first row are positive and are below the 0.05 significance level, namely 0.043. Apart from that, in the next row the P-Values also point to positive and are below the 0.05 significance level, namely 0.000. These results indicate that the Green Recruitment variable can have a positive relationship and a significant influence on employee performance and the Green Training variable can strengthen the influence of the Green Recruitment variable on employee performance. These results are due to recruitment which has a high nuance in protecting the environment, usually has high social sensitivity and concern and ultimately improves employee performance. The resulting employee performance is not just ordinary employee performance like employee performance in other studies, but employee performance that is nuanced and combined with aspects of caring for nature and the environment. Therefore, the first and second hypotheses in this study can be accepted.
 
Contribution: The researcher's great hope is that this article can be used as one of the main references in Human Resource Management scholarship, especially those closely related to Green Recruitment, Green Training and Employee Performance. Apart from that, it is hoped that this research will become a reference in deciding existing policies.
