SummaryAn eight-year-old, male, thoracic limb amputee Whippet presented with a traumatic lateral luxation of the scapulohumeral joint. Surgical reduction and stabilisation of the shoulder joint by means of a modified Campbell scapulohumeral prosthesis and capsulorrhaphy was unsuccessful and reluxation of the shoulder joint occurred. Subsequent surgical stabilisation using bicipital tendon transposition and a modified Campbell scapulohumeral encircling prosthesis in combination with a novel body cast / Spica splint resulted in a return to satisfactory function of this limb.

The School District of Greenville County, Greenville, South Carolina provides homebound instruction to its students who cannot, for medical reasons, attend regular school. This is a description of the teaching methods and materials used with a multiply handicapped, visually impaired boy, who was in a body cast. With the help of the parents, the student was able to progress at the pace set by the homebound teacher and his regular classroom teacher.

Introduction: Burst fracture results from compression failure of both the anterior and middle columns under substantial axial loads. Conservative treatment was a method of treatment for fractures without neurological deficit. This cross sectional study was designed to evaluate the functional and radiological outcome of patient with thoracolumbar burst fracture treated conservatively. Methods: 40 cases were recruited from January 2013 till December 2015. They were followed-up with minimum period of 1 year and evaluated for the functional (Oswetry Disbility Index) and radiological outcomes (kyphotic angle deformity and anterior body compression). Results: 20 patients were treated with body cast made form plaster of Paris and remaining 20 patients with fiberglass cast. In plaster of Paris group, mean kyphotic angle deformity at last follow up was 16.60 ± 2.95 with a mean improvement 4.45 degree and anterior body compression at last follow up was 30.35% ± 10.2 with mean improvement of 9.30%. In fiberglass group, mean kyphotic angle deformity at last follow up was 15.55 ± 3.38 with a mean improvement 7.25 degree and anterior body compression at last follow up was 25.90% ± 7.81 with mean improvement of 3.45%. The functional outcome showed Oswetry Disability Index (ODI) score in plaster of Paris group was 23.70 (SD = 7.82) and in fiberglass group was 18.50 (SD = 5.94). Conclusions: Application of body cast using a fiberglass material give better radiological outcome hence less pain, more functional and higher patient’s satisfaction as compared to plaster of Paris.

The effects of application of a plaster body cast upon aldosterone and sodium excretion were studied in eight dogs with experimental ascites. In association with an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, aldosterone output declined and sodium excretion increased. In three dogs net sodium loss occurred and in three animals the low sodium-potassium ratio of fecal electrolyte excretion characteristic of increased circulating aldosterone returned to normal. The increased sodium excretion was not attributable to elevated GFR as GFR was frequently unchanged or reduced. Furthermore, no consistent alterations in plasma sodium or potassium, T-1824 dye space in plasma or arterial pressure were detected. It is suggested that aldosterone secretion was decreased as a result of an increase in intra-abdominal pressure which inhibited filtration of fluid into the peritoneal cavity to form ascites.
