Giant Cell Tumour of Tendon Sheath in Thumb: A Case Report
Abstract: Giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath is the second most common tumor of the hand often referred to as xanthoma. Histologically these tumors are composed of multinucleated giant cells, polyhedral histiocytes, fibrosis and hemosiderin deposits. Marginal excision of giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath is the treatment of choice. We present a case of Xanthoma of flexor pollicis longus tendon that presented as single enlarging mass in volar …

Treatment of Malunited Fracture of the First Metacarpal Base with a Comorbidity of Diabetes by Medical Therapy and Miniplate Fixation: A Case Report
Abstract: Even though every malunited hand fracture requires no intervention, malunion deformities including rotational malalignment and angulation can cause weakness of grasp and pinch. In addition, diabetes mellitus, a general factor of an infection, is an important illness which should be taken into account before undertaking reconstruction. Therefore, malunited fracture of the first metacarpal concomitant with diabetes may pose as a challenging problem, which includes various considerations such as indications, fixation …

Managing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Insights into Symptoms and Relief
Abstract: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a prevalent and concerning issue affecting the wrist and hand, arising from the compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. This compression results in a spectrum of distressing symptoms, including numbness, tingling, weakness, and discomfort, particularly in the thumb, index, and middle fingers. Despite its frequent association with repetitive hand movements and prolonged use of computers or handheld devices, CTS can stem from …

Monitoring and Forecasting in Construction Projects Using Time Buffer
Abstract: The key to project management is effective performance monitoring and forecasting. The existing methods using input- output cash flow, earned value, etc. do not differentiate between work done on the critical path and work done on non-critical paths. Such methods mask the real situation and mislead the project team because progress on one path often compensate for the delay in other. The paper proposes a more effective method to facilitate …

Experimental Investigation on the Seismic Disaster Mitigation of Unreinforced Brick Masonry Buildings
Abstract: The Himalayan region is considered to have the potential to produce earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 or greater once every 100 years. Since the occurrence of an earthquake cannot be prevented; therefore, seismic disaster mitigation remains the only option for the civil society. Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings, constructed with stone or brick, are very common in Northern Pakistan part of Himalayan belt. The seismic performance of stone masonry was found very …

Secure Image Backup System
Abstract: The primary reason for developing a backup system is to save files that are important. This is done so that in case if system crashes due to any reason such as hard drive failure or natural calamities, the files can be retrieved later easily. Security is one of the essential/crucial factors when it comes to data, as this data might contain confidential as well as important information. Hence, the backup …

Prevalence of Hypermobility in College Going Student
Abstract: Background: Joint hypermobility is defined as the wide range of movements beyond limit. Prevalence of hypermobility is seen more in children but less of data is available regarding the prevalence rate in college students. Since lot of musculoskeletal issues exist in young population, there is a need to find out the prevalence of hypermobility among college going students. Methodology: In this cross sectional study, 100 college going students were taken …

Asymptomatic Malaria—A Missed Opportunity in the Planned 2030 Malaria Elimination Programme in Ethiopia
Abstract: Background: Malaria intervention in Ethiopia has been strengthened significantly in the past decade with significant reduction in incidence and prevalence. However, continuous surveillance on malaria disease incidence was suggested for effective control and elimination. In difference to this suggestion, malaria elimination programme in the country is missing asymptomatic malaria as a prime target. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine prevalence of asymptomatic malaria and associated factors in …

Prevalence and Various Risk Factors of Musculoskeletal Pain among Physiotherapists: A Survey Study
Abstract: The relationship between physical activity (forceful, repetitive movements with awkward postures) and MSDs is more complicated than just cause and effect. Most studies on the prevalence of work related MSDs (WMSDs) and their association with occupational tasks have been performed in the manufacturing sector, as outlined in comprehensive literature reviews by the National institute for occupational safety and health (NIOSH). Physical activity may cause injury. Some epidemiologic studies have used …
