Authors: Okoli Chinedu Michael , Achionye Edna , Olaolu Michael Olatunji , Onah I. Ifeanyichukwu 
Published: December 2022

Background:
Children with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) face many challenges in the society. They tend to suffer malnutrition and therefore poor weight gain due to lack of standard care, especially from their parents and society at large. The poor weight gain leads to delayed surgical repair of the cleft abnormality leading to prolonged nutritional and psychological challenges for all concerned.

Objective:
The aim of the study was to determine if children without cleft abnormalities presenting for routine immunisation and children with cleft abnormalities are both likely to be less than the 75th percentile of expected weight at the time of presentation, and if there is any difference in presenting weight amongst children with different cleft types.

Materials and Methods:
This was a retrospective study. Data of children that attended the immunisation clinic of the Department of Primary Health of the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu, and routine surgical clinic of the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu, Nigeria, and the Good Shepherd Specialist Hospital, Enugu, Nigeria, between January 2010 and December 2014 with a diagnosis of CL/P, were obtained from the medical records. The data were analysed with SPSS and the confidence interval was 95%.

Results:
A total of 923 medical records were reviewed for the study, out of which 363 were for children with cleft abnormalities. There was no significant difference in the weight of the children without cleft and presenting for routine immunisation compared with their expected 75th percentile, or children with cleft abnormality compared with their expected 75th percentile (either in their first or in their second visits). With the children that presented with CL/P, there was a significant difference noted amongst children with both CL/P deformity with the expected 75th percentile weight, irrespective of whether the combination was unilateral or bilateral, with P = 0.041. This difference was noted in their first visit.

Conclusion:
Children with combined CL/P are at risk of presenting with poor weight. Nutritional rehabilitation considered early with children with cleft and particularly those children with combined CL/P.

Authors: Srivastava Mohit Kishore , Gupta Anil Kumar , Yadav Ganesh , Kumar Dileep , Mishra Sudhir Ramkishore , Jauhari Sugandha 
Published: December 2022

Introduction:
In patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), a complex interplay of sociodemographic and injury-related factors can impact on outcomes such as rehabilitation length of stay (r-LOS), functional status, and discharge following rehabilitation procedures. Every year 2.55 lakhs of people suffer from SCI globally.

Objectives:
To describe the r-LOS in patients with traumatic paraplegia and associated correlates.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted among traumatic paraplegics admitted in the rehabilitation unit of a government tertiary care hospital of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2017. All medical records of traumatic paraplegics fulfilling the inclusion criteria were used for data extraction and analysis. A data-gathering instrument was developed and was thereafter used to capture the relevant information from the patients’ individual medical records.

Results:
Mean and median duration of r-LOS was 98.4 ± 37.2 and 98.3 (31.3) days, respectively. Significant predictors were age, employment status, location of residence, operation, and complications at/during hospitalization (P < 0.05). More than half (55.6%) of the traumatic paraplegic patients were of neurological category A. Among those who had r-LOS > 98 days, 94.2% had pressure ulcers in the sacral region, followed by 85.7% ischial and majority were grades 3 and 4.

Conclusion:
The most common cause of injury was falls from height. Pressure ulcer was the most common complication of paraplegics. Age, employment status, and location of residence were the epidemiological factors, while the history of operation and pressure ulcers were the clinical factors affecting the length of hospital stay.

Authors: Dinkar Karuna Shankar , Kapoor Rajat , Mittal Vivek , Sharma Brijesh , Saini Sushil Kumar , Verma Ashutosh 
Published: December 2022

Background:
Fracture of distal radius usually occurs as a result of high energy trauma in younger individual with good bone density and is associated with substantial articular and periarticular tissue injury. The fracture of distal radius was previously known for being common in elderly with low function demand who sustained a low energy trauma. Purpose of study was to compare the functional and radiological outcomes between percutaneous K-wiring and close reduction with below elbow cast application in treatment of distal end radius fracture.

Methodology:
30 cases of closed reduction and casting and 30 cases of percutaneous K-wire fixation were included in the study. The data obtained from the two groups was analysed by using unpaired student’s t-test for continuous variables. All cases were followed up after 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 6 weeks and were functionally and radiologically assessed for re-displacement.

Results:
There was no statistically significant difference in the range of movement outcomes between the two groups. The unpaired student’s t-test on the values obtained from both groups yielded a P-value of 0.9816.

Conclusion:
Closed reduction with percutaneous K-wiring and below elbow cast application is a simple, minimally invasive technique that provides additional stability and better radiological outcome in the treatment of extra-articular distal radius fracture as compared to closed reduction and below elbow cast application.

Published: December 2022

Introduction:
Low lower back pain (LBP) is one of the maximum commonplace health troubles related to economic losses in the society. Chronic LBP (CLBP, pain for more than 3 months) is not an unusual cause of disability and absence from work from obligation. Etiologically, decreased lower back ache is a multifactorial disease with numerous possible symptoms and causes. Vitamin D plays a critical role in the immune system and bone healing. Despite the fact that Indians receive ample sunshine throughout the year, hypovitaminosis D continues to be a developing problem.

Aims and Objectives:
The aim of this study is to describe the association between vitamin D deficiency and chronic low backache attending OPD of a tertiary care hospital in Andaman and Nicobar Island and to compare the data with that of Mainland India.

Materials and Methods:
A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted during the period from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2020. The primary inclusion criterion for CLBP is defined as self-reported pain in the low back area for more than half of the time in the past 3 months, following the standardized criteria proposed by Dionne et al. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D is considered as a marker for the recent status of vitamin D levels in the blood.

Results:
In our study, we took 664 patients with the mean age of 40.45 ± 15.2 years. We also found that 174 patients were vitamin D-deficient (26.20%). Vitamin D insufficiency was seen in 310 patients (46.69%), and 180 patients were vitamin D-sufficient (27.11%). The mean vitamin D level in females was 28.46 ± 17.12 and that in males was 29.02 ± 13.54.

Conclusion:
To conclude, the majority of the patients with chronic low backache have vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency, and supplementation of vitamin D should be considered.
Case series of head-and-neck adenosquamous carcinoma: Role of histogenetic model in immunotherapy as a future perspective for nonconventional squamous cell carcinoma
Authors: Yadav Shefali , Gulati Nikita , Jain Anshi , Shetty Devi Charan 
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT
Adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) is not only a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) but it is also an aggressive and highly infiltrating neoplasm with distinct histomorphology. Histogenetic concept in the pathogenesis of the tumor would eradicate controversies regarding the resemblance of ASC with mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid SCC. Hence, we intend to present a case series of four cases of ASC in the head-and-neck region reported in a single institution in the past 10 years. Head-and-neck ASC lesions have been reported in the thyroid gland, nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx. Intraoral lesions are mostly seen in the tongue and floor of the mouth, but in our case series, the most common site was the maxillary alveolus. Therapeutic approach toward nonconventional malignancies of epithelial origin should include proper analysis of the biological behavior of disease, the anatomical site, sensitivity of lesion to radiation, and systemic treatment modality. Hence, for better understanding of the behavior of lesions such as ASC, immunohistochemical analysis plays a significant role as it provides an insight into the origin and also accentuates the chances of enhanced therapeutic model for treating any such variant of SCC.

Authors: Adson Kendell , James Kamryn , Srinivasan Nirmal , Ananthakrishnan Saradha 
Published: December 2022

Objective:
A variety of questionnaires have been developed to describe and quantify occupational and nonoccupational noise exposure, which are associated with hearing loss and tinnitus. The main aim of this study was to compare and contrast three commonly used nonoccupational noise exposure measurement questionnaires in a group of young adults.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 197 participants were recruited for this study. All the participants completed three commonly used nonoccupational noise exposure measurement questionnaires via Qualtrics software (Qualtrics, Provo, UT). General patterns in the nature of noise exposure were highlighted and statistical agreement and correlations between the three instruments were calculated. Comparisons were made between self-percept of noise exposure and annual noise exposure metrics obtained using questionnaires.

Results:
Strong statistical agreement and correlation (r = 0.57, P < 0.001) was found between the selected instruments similar in their constructs of noise exposure. When compared to quantified scores of noise exposure, self-report of exposure to loud noise was highly sensitive but associated with poor specificity (3.61%) and a high false-positive rate (96.38%). The majority of participants reported exposure to noise from listening to music and attending loud recreational activities, with a differential effect of sex on average annual noise exposure values depending on the questionnaire used.

Conclusions:
The outcomes of this analysis could assist in comparing noise exposure quantifications across research studies, and determining if and how these questionnaires may be utilized clinically to effectively identify and counsel those at risk for noise-induced hearing loss.
