Abstract This study aims to formulate mucoadhesive vancomycin loaded thiolated chitosan (TCS) nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are and enhance the retention of drug at ocular site. For this purpose, TCS were prepared by ion-gelation method characterized for their size, shape, polydispersity index, mucoadhesion, cellular uptake anti-inflammatory activity. The average size synthesized was found be 288 nm with positive zeta potential. Moreover, 85% successfully encapsulated in using method. A...

Compartment syndrome is a surgical emergency requiring immediate intervention. Majority of compartment syndromes are associated with trauma or surgery. Spontaneous in multiple limbs rare and alternative diagnosis should be sought. We report young adult man who developed all four sequentially over 4 years. On further evaluation, he was found to have gene mutation exon 3 GYG1 gene. patients does not appear been previously recognised. Although direct causality cannot confidently drawn, this...

Sir:FigureThere are many types of core suture; however, until recently, the modified Kessler stitch had been accepted widely as a standard method for repair lacerated tendons. Ideally, flexor tendon should have smooth opposition ends with no bulge and minimal gap between tendons, be sufficiently robust to withstand tension created by mobilization. Over past decade, two-strand has superseded four-strand norm in repair. There number methods performing suture using either one or two knots...
