TRANSMETACARPAL REPLANTATION. ELEVEN YEARS LATER
Authors: Popova Binka , Mateva Elena , Kaykchian Kevork , Sokolov Deyan 
Published: March 2024

A case in a series of nine transmetacarpal replantations was presented at the combined meeting of the 7th European congress on Prevention of Hand Traumas and the 7th congress of the Bulgarian Society for Surgery of the Hand, 19-21 October 2023, Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
A male patient aged 42, a heavy truck driver, was an ideal candidate for replantation. In February 2012 he sustained transmetacarpal amputation by circular saw through the proximal third of the left hand, with local crush of the tissues. During replantation enormous tissue edema appeared, caused by long ischemia time with cryopreservation of the amputated part for three hours. Restoration of the common digital nerves was postponed and performed 4 months later (Millesi procedure).
Eleven years later the following outcome is registered. TAM: 110 (good), ab-adduction of 2nd and 4th fingers is restored in limited range. The effect is attributed to reinnervation of some spared interosseous muscles by the motor branch of the ulnar nerve, restored during the autoplastic of the common digital nerves. The lateral pinch between the thumb and second finger is useful.
The skin sensitivity is examined by Weber static two-point discrimination test (2pdt):12 mm for 2nd and 3rd fingers, 15 mm for the 4th finger and one point for the pulps of the 5th finger and the thumb; 2pdt, carried out on the palm, in the base of the fingers, is 10 mm.
The gained useful function of the hand is 50%. Original working ability is restored, but it is forbidden for the patient to work as a professional driver. He can drive his own car.
In transmetacarpal replantations with level through the proximal part of the palm some interosseous muscles are preserved, and repair of the motor branch of the ulnar nerve is with favorable prognosis regarding functional recovery.

Distal femur fractures are always a challenge to an orthopedic surgeon. They may be unstable and comminuted. Thin cortex, wide medullary canal, relative osteopenia and short distal segment adds to the complexity. The present study assessed the functional outcome of using locking compression plate fixation for fractures of distal end of femur in patients admitted to JMMC orthopedics department satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria from December 2017 to may 2019. Twenty cases were taken in this study. Serial follow up was done at 4, 8, 12, 24 weeks and functional outcome was assessed at the end of 24 weeks using NEERS criteria. 18 patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. 2 of the fractures were stabilized via MIPPO technique. No patients had implant failure and none of the cases were complicated by deep infection. 5 of the 20 patients had ‘Excellent’ Neers scores and 14 had ‘Good’ scores. Only one patient had ‘Fair’ score.
Conclusion: Locking compression plate fixation is a safe procedure for supracondylar fractures of distal femur with good functional outcome. It can be done on a routine basis with a minimum risk of complications.
Keywords: Functional Outcome, LCP, Open Reduction Internal Fixation, Prospective Study, Supracondylar Fracture.

Although the concept of alienation has been studied in the literature for years, it is a topic that has not lost its currency. This article delves into the enduring significance of the concept of alienation, examining its historical development, causes, and consequences within the context of organizational settings. Alienation, characterized by an individual's loss of faith in their environment and self, manifests as a disorder leading to profound loneliness and hopelessness. The study particularly focuses on workplace alienation, highlighting the inherent conflict between job demands and an employee's intrinsic nature. Organizational alienation is explored as a nuanced reflection of an individual's emotions arising from dissatisfaction within the employment context.
The research conducts a thorough analysis of individual, social, and sociological consequences, unraveling the far-reaching impact of alienation on both personal and organizational levels. In response to the challenges posed by alienation in organizations, strategic interventions are proposed to mitigate its pervasive effects and cultivate a positive and cohesive organizational environment. This comprehensive exploration amalgamates insights from existing literature, providing a professional and detailed examination of the complex phenomenon of alienation. in this article, the influence of culture (Cultural Norms and Values, Communication Style, Inclusiveness and Diversity, Leadership Style, Organizational Structure, Workplace Rituals and Traditions, and Employee Recognition and Pay Systems) on organizational alienation and the importance of culture in this context are emphasized. The article contributes valuable information to deepen the understanding of alienation's implications for individuals and organizations, offering insights for developing strategies to address and prevent alienation in organizational contexts.

Authors: Limbana Therese Anne , Ansah Grace , Sams Clarence 
Published: March 2024

Inflammatory skin disorders are chronic diseases that present with redness, itching, and plaques and occur due to the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. The immune basis of the disease involves the action of proinflammatory cytokines and overexpression of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells.

Objective
To discuss the developments in chronic inflammatory disease pathogenesis and treatments using single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics.

Approach

Single-cell RNA analysis and spatial transcriptomics allow one to study a cell individually and identify the cell-to-cell differences and the mutations that can be found within individual cells in a pool. It aids in improved understanding of disease pathogenesis and helps identify the distinct mutations that arise in every disease which can be targeted for therapy. However, this technology is quite new and requires improvements on cost reduction and standardization of methods. Nevertheless, this approach has opened new avenues to studying disease pathogenesis and creating drugs targeting the active inflammatory pathway.

Conclusion
This review focuses on chronic inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne, lichen planus, and alopecia.
This review provides insight into their pathogenesis and targeted therapy using the latest advances in the field of single-cell RNA sequencing and transcriptomics

Assessment of the Validity of Assumption of Zero Net Migration in Estimation of Adult Mortality Using Preston Integrated Approach
Authors: Nwogu E. C. , Emmanuel Ohaegbulam , Udo Osuagwu Chidimma 
Published: March 2024

This study examines the implication(s) of ignoring net migration in estimation of adult mortality from non-stable population using the Preston [1] integrated method and proposes a method of assessing presence of net migration in a study data. In deriving the model for estimation of adult mortality from non-stable population, Preston [1] has assumed that the study population is closed to migration, that is, the net migration is zero or negligible. However, in most developing countries this assumption is not necessarily true. In this study, the method proposed for assessing the need for adjustment for net migration is the ratio (AF) of the observed proportion of mid-period population reported as aged x years (c(x,t)) when net migration is not zero to the corresponding proportion when net migration is zero (\(\hat{c}\)(x,t)). The Preston [1] approach to estimation of adult mortality is to relate characteristics of the observed population to some life table functions and using this relationship to obtain estimate of the implied level of adult mortality. The results indicate that when net migration is actually zero, the ratio AF is equal to one and different from one when net migration is not zero. Data on age- sex distribution of populations of three selected developing countries were used to illustrate the methods. It has therefore, been recommended that when this ratio is not one an adjustment should be made for net migration.

Introduction: Lipoprotein (a) is made up of an atherogenic LDL lipoparticle and a potentially thrombogenic apoprotein a and is therefore responsible for cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study is to evaluate serum lipoprotein (a) status and to investigate the correlation of elevated serum lipoprotein (a) levels with other cardiovascular risk factors in type 2 diabetics.
Materials and Methods: This is a case-control study involving 82 patients, 37 type 2 diabetic patients and 45 non-diabetic control subjects. Sociodemographic data were collected and each patient underwent routine lipid assessment and lipoprotein (a) testing.
Results: The prevalence of hyperlipoproteinemia (a) is 17.8% in control subjects and 29.7% in type 2 diabetics. HDL cholesterolemia is significantly higher in controls than in type 2 diabetics (p =0.028) while LDL cholesterol and serum lipoprotein (a) levels are higher in type 2 diabetics than in controls with a statistically significant difference (p=0.025 and p=0.026 respectively). The mean lipoprotein (a) values ​​of 0.36±0.34 g/l in women are higher than those of male subjects which are 0.28±0.20 g/l (p=0.171). Mean serum lipoprotein (a) levels of 0.39±0.32 g/l in type 2 diabetics are significantly higher than those of controls which are 0.25±0.21 g/l (p= 0.026). Plasma concentrations of lipoprotein (a) vary with age and appear to be increased beyond the age of 45. There is no correlation between lipoprotein (a) and other cardiovascular risk factors.
Conclusion: Hyperlipoproteinemia (a) is common in type 2 diabetics and women have the highest plasma levels. Serum lipoprotein (a) concentrations are not correlated with other cardiovascular risk factors and therefore constitute an independent risk factor.
Amide‐Based Ligands for Anion Coordination
Authors: Kang Sung Ok , Begum Rowshan Ara , Bowman‐James Kristin 
Published: October 2006

AbstractAnion recognition is an active area of research in supramolecular chemistry. The rapidly increasing amount of structural data now allows anion coordination chemistry to be formalized in terms of coordination numbers and geometries based on hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the host (ligand) and the guest (anion). This Minireview targets just one class of anion receptors, namely, amide‐based ligands. The structural data for a series of five anion shapes are compiled according to coordination number, and distinct commonalities are observed within a given anion topology. The results also indicate a number of similarities between the coordination of anions and transition‐metal ions.
