A Case Report of a Pregnancy Complicated by Sigmoid Volvulus in the Extreme Preterm Gestational Age by Naghmeh Kian, Atefeh Moridi

“…Diagnosis can be challenging for clinicians as the symptoms might be approached as other common obstetric complications. Performing radiological and abdominal surgery are also areas of great concern in this field; since radiologic studies inevitably expose the fetus to radiation and the treatment options mostly involve surgery that is worrisome during gestation. …”

Analysis of the Impact of Configuration of the Stabilisation System for Femoral Diaphyseal Fractures on the State of Stresses and Displacements by Jakub J. Słowiński, Konrad Kudłacik

“…The treatment of femoral diaphyseal fractures by intramedullary nailing has become a common procedure in orthopaedic surgery. The purpose of this numerical simulation was to present how the changes in configuration of the stabilisation system can affect the stress and displacement state in the bone tissue and implanted device. …”

Conjugate Natural Convection: A Study of Optimum Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer in Eccentric Annular Channels by Ahmad Jamal, Esmail M. A. Mokheimer

“…As part of the results, fluctuations in the induced fluid flow rate and heat transfer in the eccentric annular channel due to the conjugate effect, governed by the ratios of the solid and fluid thermal conductivities and thicknesses of outer and inner circular cylinder walls, are obtained for the boundary conditions of one wall heated isothermally and the other kept adiabatic. Commonly encountered ratios of the solid and fluid thermal conductivities and cylinder walls thicknesses are utilized in the present analysis. …”

An Unusual Cause of Necrotising Fasciitis in a Young Male with Juvenile Dermatomyositis by Adelaide Ankomaa Asante, Josephine Nsaful, Dzifa Dey

“…The patient developed necrotizing fasciitis, an unusual rapidly progressing lethal infection of the fascia resulting from bowel contents seeping from multiple intestinal perforations. This case, less commonly seen in males, highlights the occurrence of multiple phenomena—JDM complicated by skin and gastrointestinal vasculopathy with resultant development of multiple GI perforations and consequently life-threatening necrotizing fasciitis of the leg. …”
