Modality Approach

Ipsilateral fractures of humerus, femur and tibia is a rare entity. The number of fractures resulting due to road traffic accidents is on the rise. These Type of injuries usually occur due to high-velocity road traffic accidents. High-velocity road traffic accidents are associated with multiple bony injuries as well as injuries to various internal organs. These injuries are often difficult to manage due to their complex nature. Mostly multiple fractures are produced in ipsilateral limbs. This condition makes the management even more difficult. Hence a multi-modality approach is often required. A 55-year-old male sustained floating knee with ipsilateral shaft humerus fracture. After a three-staged surgical approach with three modalities for treating the compound injury, the patient had an excellent result with the full range of motion in the knee and complete coverage of wound. Compound floating injuries should be treated with simultaneous fixation of femur and tibia fractures to achieve early full range of knee motion with Vacuum-assisted closure followed by skin grafting for complete wound coverage.

Endoscopic Removal

Nasal foreign bodies are rare events occurring mostly in children. However they can be seen in adults as a result of trauma resulting from road traffic accidents and bullet injuries. However these foreign bodies, if associated with high velocity, can cause greater harm at skull base by casing injury to vital structures. Hence safe planning and removal is warranted. We present a case of a 48 year old female with an impacted metallic foreign body in the sphenoid. Endoscopic removal of the foreign body was was done.J MEDICINE July 2016; 17 (2) : 115-117

Day By Day

Background: In Bangladesh fatality rate due to road traffic accidents is rising sharply day by day. At least 2297 people were killed and 5480 were injured in road traffic accidents within 1st six months of 2017.Whereas in the previous year at 2016 at least 1941 people were killed and 4794 were injured within the 1st six months. No survey has been reported in Bangladesh yet correlating ADHD as a reason of impulsive driving which ends up in a road crash.

COVID 19 is undeniably one of the deadliest diseases that humanity has ever seen. It continues to affect the lives and livelihood of people appallingly across the world. Maximum discussions focus towards the apprehension of catching the infection, dwelling in homes, overpopulated nursing homes and shut down of all kinds. But, here let’s discuss the positive side of COVID 19 pandemic.As COVID 19 has spread its influence all over the world, affected countries have either announced lockdown or have implemented severe restrictions in their respective countries. Because of this, everyone dwells in their homes. Thus, exercising social distancing and functioning from home. All of the above is directed at restricting the transmission of coronavirus and expectantly ostracising the fatality from COVID 19. These transformations have also brought about some unanticipated emanations; some good things have come out of the pandemic as well. Positive effects of COVID 19 are seen on reduced road traffic, and road traffic accidents lowered levels of air pollution which has to lead to lowered heart attack rates and rejuvenating environment. Crime rates have fallen, and expenses are reduced in most places. Community action, communication amongst families, behaviour, sanitation, hygiene, online and distance education has positively impacted by COVID 19 pandemic. COVID 19 despite a bane for humans, can be thought of a boon for living beings. The habitats and elements have been purified with the stringent use of petrochemical products. To breathe fresh air and to consume purified water is a boon by itself. Now, it is time for humans to lead a caring life to every bounty bestowed on them by Nature. This thoughtful and considerate life will give hope for a healthy, stress-free life.
