Introduction: Lumbar Canal Stenosis is developmental or congenital narrowing of the spinal canal that produces compression of the neural elements before their exit from the neural foramen. The narrowing may be limited to a single motion segment or it may be more diffuse spanning two motion segments or more. The spinal canal demonstrates narrowing, attributed most frequently to acquired degenerative or arthritic changes such as hypertrophy of the articulations surrounding the canal, intervertebral disc herniation or bulges, hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum, osteophytes formation and degenerative spondylolisthesis. The classic presentation of Lumbar Canal Stenosis is neurogenic claudication. Aims and Objectives: To study the outcome of microdecompression by unilateral laminotomy in lumbar canal stenosis Methodology: This is institutional based prospective study of 36 patients, aged 20 to 80 years, with diagnosed lumbar canal stenosis treated with bilateral microdecompression of lumbar canal stenosis by unilateral laminotomy using microscope, surgical magnifying loops and microsurgery tools at Dr. Shankarrao Chavan Govt. Medical College Vishnupuri, Nanded. Statistical analysis done by chi-square test. Result: There was an rapid decrease in the leg pain scores from 8.94 In the pre-operative period to 1.36(SD±1.13) one month after operation. At 1 month follow up patients with no pain (VAS + 0) were 9 (25.00%). Conclusion: Unilateral laminotomy with bilateral micro decompression method is one of the excellent method for decompression of lumbar canal stenosis with early functional outcome as unilateral laminotomy preserves posterior midline structures with sparing of spinous process, opposite side lamina and paraspinal muscles.

Non organic food and chemical intake has been associated with a variety of infections and disorders, notably cancer, digestive dysfunction, headaches, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), prenatal deformities, a compromised immune system and early mortality. Organic foods are pesticide-free and it is beneficial for overall health. Organic farming initiated 1000 years ago, once mediaeval farmers began cultivating along riverbeds based on natural resources. Organic food and food products are the finest healthy food which can be consumed without causing harm to body, soil nutrients, environment, or biodiversity. This approach quickly is becoming well-known because of its significance and importance from a public health perspective covering 20 to 30 % of India's entire agricultural area. Organic farming is an ideal type of agriculture when compared to chemical-based agriculture, since it reserves integrity of soil and environment while also providing high-quality agricultural products for a healthy lifestyle such as fruits, vegetables, grains, pulses, and other foods. People nowadays are increasingly concerned about the nutritional quality of their diet. There is a need to do more research and analysis to rationalise and justify the value of organic food and food products, which are more nutritious and healthy compared to nonorganic or conventional foods. The comparative aspects of organic vs nonorganic farming along with biodiversity and environmental benefits of organic farming have been focused in this study. The present study also focused on the promotion of organic food consumption and its benefits from a public health perspective in the current scenario. The scope of organic food can be converted into revenue generation for better and healthier tomorrow.
Introduction: Management of distal metaphyseal tibial fractures is a formidable challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon. Some of the confounding factors in management are delicate soft tissue in this area, presence of ankle joint in close proximity, small distal fragment size, ligament injuries, occasional fibular fractures and compaction of cancellous bone among others. The conventional implants are unsuitable for managing such fractures successfully. Material and method: The 3.5mm anatomical anterolateral locking compression plates are precontoured plates that have been designed and developed especially for fixation of distal tibial metaphyseal fractures to overcome some of these problems. 34 patients underwent management using this implant. The study was done prospectively. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the management of such fractures with this implant and to assess the functional outcome of the same. Results: 83% of patients in our study had excellent to good functional outcome. Conclusions: We concluded that that the anatomical anterolateral plate is an excellent option for managing such fractures and gives consistent and reproducible clinical results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
