Turners Syndrome in a girl with an unknown marker chromosome in Karyotype: A Case Study
Abstract: Abstract Turners syndrome is an X-linked chromosomal disorder, in which nucleus possesses only 45X chromosomes i.e. 22 pair of autosomes and a sex chromosome XO. Absence of Y chromosome resembles female. There are some variants in which mosaic of X0/XX or even X0/XY are present. They have characteristic appearance like short stature, sexual infantilism, ovarian agenesis or gonadal dysgenesis, pattern of major and minor malformations. Patient comes with complaints of …

Evaluating Epidemiological and Physical Risk Factors in the Development of Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN): An In-depth Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Abstract: Background of study: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) encompasses a range of adverse effects caused by various cytotoxic medications and stands as a primary source of pain among individuals who have survived cancer. In instances of pronounced and sudden CIPN, it might become necessary to diminish chemotherapy dosages or discontinue their application. Currently, no efficacious strategy exists for proactively preventing CIPN, managing established chronic CIPN is constrained, and the risk factors …

Wave plate; what is the angle of its central curved segment which provides biomechanically optimal stability for femoral shaft fracture?:A 3-D Finite Analysis
Abstract: Even though intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fracture is the standard surgical treatment as it is in tibial fracture, plate fixation might be a choice when the fracture involves open growth plate, patients are of shorter stature or have narrow canals. In these cases, fixation techniques with plate and screws, for example, percutaneous procedures involving wave plate, are useful thanks to minimal invasion and preservation of biological environment surrounding the …

A Narrative Review on Osteogenesis Imperfecta and Its Management
Abstract: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), sometimes referred to as brittle bone disease, is a heterogeneous illness characterized by short stature, several fractures, and distorted bones. The main contributing factor to OI is mutations in the genes needed to produce type 1 collagen. While severe OI is perinatally fatal, mild OI can occasionally not be detected until maturity. The frequency of Osteogenesis imperfecta ranges from about 1:15,000 to 1:20,000 births. Five kinds of …

Current Perspectives of Prader -Willi Syndrome: A Multisystem Approach
Abstract: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder with multisystem involvement, caused by the lack of expression of genes on the paternally inherited chromosome 15q11.2-q13 region from paternal 15q11-q13 deletions (about 60%) or maternal uniparental disomy 15 or both. It is a complex and contiguous gene disorder which affects the multiple systems with many clinical presentations especially hypothalamic insufficiency. The clinical features are characterized by short stature position, developmental delay, cognitive …
