This study shows that the type of bladder management method affects HRQoL significantly in patients with SCI. Intermittent catheterization are recommended to be administered instead of indwelling catheterization to improve HRQoL.

A ganglion cyst is a small sac of fluid that forms over a joint or tendon (tissue that connects muscle to bone). A 23-year-old woman, right hand dominant, and Laboratory expert, was referred with a 1-year history of a lump in the anterior aspect of her elbow associated with altered sensation in the anterolateral aspect of her left hand. Her elbow was painful and the mass progressive increased in size during the last 1.5 months. There was no history of trauma, injections or manipulation. The patient had no symptoms of fever, ulcers, or numbness. On physical examination, there was a tendered mass about 4 cm in diameter in the anterior aspect of the elbow. X-ray was normal and MRI confirmed a mass along with a radiocapitellar capsule. The cyst and radial nerve were explored through an anterolateral curved incision, with ligation of the radial recurrent vessels. The cyst was on the capsule of the radiocapitellar joint and posterior to the interosseous nerve at the proximal fibers on the edge of the supinator muscle. The cyst was identified as a ganglion clinically, and excised completely. Pathology finding  confirmed it. The lateral elbow pain disappeared immediately after surgery, with no neurological deficit. The patient returned to work after 1 month.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of treatment of subtrochanteric femoral fracture in the use of proximal femoral locking compression plate (PFLCP) and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA). This retrospective study was performed on patients who referred to Firoozgar Hospital in 2017 with subtrochanteric fracture. During follow-up, control radiographs were obtained from patients and the Harris Hip Score questionnaire was completed. Finally, the data were entered into Spss version 22 and then analyzed. A total of 56 patients were included in the study. Patients were divided into two treatment groups of 28: including groups with locking plate and nailing treatment. The results showed that the treatment was not significantly different in patients with subtrochanteric fractures who were treated with either intramedullary nailing or plate placement. There is no difference between the two groups in any of the parameters. The two groups were similar in terms of fracture classification, and finally no significant difference was found in terms of union findings. This study showed that clinical and imaging findings are not significantly different between the two groups of patients with subtrochanteric fracture who are treated with nailing or plate placement.
