Luminal unicystic ameloblastoma in an 8 years old child: a case report

Unicystic ameloblastoma (UA) is a less aggressive biological variant of ameloblastoma that mostly affects younger individuals. It often mimics an odontogenic cyst clinically; however, radiographic features can help in distinguishing. Its occurrence in pediatric patients at such a...

Impact of extent of lung disease on nutritional, physiological, functional, and psychosocial outcomes of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with post-tuberculosis sequelae: A prospective study from Western India

Background: Post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD) is increasingly recognized as a major cause of chronic respiratory morbidity in tuberculosis (TB) survivors. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) improves functional outcomes in PTLD, but the influence of disease extent on response to re...

Barriers and facilitators to implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols in resource-constrained hospitals: A mixed-methods study from a semi-urban government teaching hospital

Introduction: Enhanced recovery after surgery pathways improve postoperative outcomes, yet consistent implementation remains challenging, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Previous observations identified variability in adherence to key enhanced recovery after surger...

Ultrasound-guided Pericapsular Nerve Group Ethanol Neurolysis for the Management of Metastatic Hip Pain in Advanced Cancer: A Case Series

Abstract Hip pain from bone metastases is often severe, refractory, and difficult to control with systemic analgesics due to its complex innervation. The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is an interfascial technique targeting articular branches of the femoral, obturator, and...

Integrating obstructive sleep apnea risk assessment with AI-enhanced lung cancer detection from CT imaging: a narrative review
