Thirty two children (22 boys & 10 girls) with displaced fractures of the distal third of the radius with or without ulnar fractures were managed by closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner-wire fixation. Their average age was 10.1 years (4-16 years). The fracture was open (Grade 1) in two cases (6.3%). Antegrade intramedullary Kirschner-wire fixation was done for distal radial fractures in 71.9% of cases. Patients were evaluated clinically and radiologically after an average duration of follow-up of 28.6 months. Patients with residual angulation more than 15 degrees, limitation of forearm or wrist movement more than 20 degrees, persistent pain or clinical deformity were considered to have unsatisfactory results. Satisfactory results were obtained in 87.5% of all cases. The residual radioulnar and dorsovolar angulations were significantly related to the decrease in forearm rotation and the unsatisfactory results. High-risk distal forearm fractures in children should be treated by primary percutaneous Kirschner-wire fixation supplemented by cast immobilisation.

The new scheme that we call SD+ remarkably enhanced both the throughput and fairness of TCP running over an ATM-UBR service. Our scheme does not require per VC accounting but per VC-state where only

SOM is a machine learning method that can be used to explore patterns in large and complex datasets for linear and nonlinear patterns. The results show that major variables affecting organ donation are related to perceived benefits/risks of organ donation, organ donation knowledge, attitudes toward organ donation, and intention to donate organs. The study also shows that SOM models are capable of improving clustering quality while extracting valuable information from multidimensional data.

Sixty six patients with 48 femoral and 25 tibial fractures were followed-up for 15 to 24 months. The outcome rating system proposed by Flynn et al was used to evaluate the final results. Most patients (56.1%) were operated between 2 to 4 days after injury; a traction table was used in 54.8% of cases. The average operative time was 28 minutes, and the average hospital stay was 5.7 days. Postoperative immobilisation was used in 30% of cases, mostly with femoral fractures. The fractures united in an average time period of 85 days; 89% had united within 3 months. The nails were removed in 87.8% of cases after an average of 5.9 months. The following complications were noted: soft tissue and skin problem (9.1%) in relation to nail ends at the entry points, limb-length discrepancy (9.1%), malunion (4.5%). Based on Flynn et al's outcome rating system, 75.8% of the results were excellent, 24.2% were satisfactory and there were no poor results. With good knowledge of the technique of TEN fixation for paediatric femoral and tibial fractures, excellent and satisfactory results were achieved in all cases, with few minor complications. TENs can give stable fixation allowing early mobilisation and shorter hospitalisation with less disruption of patient and family life.

In this study, we investigated the effects of intrathecal morphine, ketamine, and their combination with bupivacaine for postoperative analgesia in major abdominal cancer surgery. Prospective, randomized, double-blind. Academic medical center. Ninety ASA I-III patients age 30 to 50 years were divided randomly into three groups: the morphine group (group M) received 10 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% in 2 mL volume and 0.3 mg morphine in 1 mL volume intrathecally. The ketamine group (group K) received 0.1 mg/kg ketamine in 1 mL volume instead of morphine. The morphine + ketamine group (group K + M) received both 0.3 mg morphine and 0.1 mg/kg ketamine in 1 mL volume intrathecally. Postoperative total morphine consumption, first request of analgesia, visual analog score (VAS), and side effects were recorded. Total PCA morphine was significantly decreased in group M + K compared with groups M and K. Time to first r...
