A Short-term Evaluation of Limb Reconstruction System as a Primary and Definitive Mode of Management in Fresh Open Fracture in Both Bones of Leg
Abstract: Open fractures require immediate surgical intervention, emphasizing prompt intravenous antibiotic therapy, irrigation, and debridement to minimize infection risks. The Limb Reconstruction System (LRS), which includes Shanz pins, rail rods, and sliding clamps, operates as a single-plane, one-sided rail system. This system provides strong fracture fixation, allows for early weight-bearing, and helps minimize costs. Challenges arise in tibial open fractures due to substantial soft tissue damage and bone loss, often resulting …

The Role of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Therapeutic Insights and Future Directions
Abstract: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disorders (NAFLD) are defined by the accumulation of excess fat in the liver that has no other cause, such as drinking alcohol. Pyruvate dehydrogenase has been established as an alternative treatment for this disorder. NAFLD pathogenesis is complex and includes oxidative stress inflammatory processes and mitochondrial dysfunction. Impaired liver fatty acid oxidation and glucose oxidation are significant individuals in developing NAFLD, and strategies to reverse these defects …

Reproductive Challenges in Tropical Dairy Cows: Exploring Stressors and Mitigation Strategies for Sustainable Development
Abstract: Reproductive efficiency in tropical dairy cows is often compromised by a range of environmental, nutritional, and management-related stressors. These stressors, including heat, humidity, poor-quality feed, disease, and parasitic infestations, significantly affect fertility, leading to prolonged calving intervals, reduced conception rates, and increased reproductive disorders. Heat stress, in particular, has been identified as a primary factor influencing reproductive performance by disrupting hormonal balance, reducing feed intake, and impairing overall cow health. …
