The injury of the Achilles tendon is a disabling condition, which is difficult to treat if there is a gap or defect between the two ends of the disrupted tendon. Patients with a rupture of the Achilles tendon should be operated without delay. Most of the people in our country use flat pan in the latrine, which are at a same level of the toilet floor. Surface of the toilet pan breaks down and cause sharp cut. Some of the cases of open tendon injuries occur due to road traffic accident, cut by broken glass and also assault.

It accounts about 10.0% to 34.0% of all hip fractures with a high complication rate. This area consists of mostly cortical bone with high stress generation thus heal slowly. The fracture is too proximal to adequately control with implants for femoral shaft and too distal to control with implants for intertrochanteric fractures. The intrinsic insecurity of this fracture and forces of the muscles with comminuted medial calcar is giving the fracture a tendency to varus crumple. Extramedullary implants are associated with higher rate of implant failure while intramedullary nails are not suitable for short proximal segment and wide medullary canal. Recently proximal femoral locking compression plate (PF-LCP) has been applied in treatment of proximal femur including subtrochanteric fractures. It has an excellent result in respect of union, fewer complications and early rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to assess the rate and time taken for union of fractures by PF-LCP and determine perioperative parameters.

Research is going on to find out the factors which are associated with the severity of acute ischemic stroke. One of the factors which has gained interest in the field of research in recent time is serum ferritin. Serum ferritin is an acute phase reactant. It is recently under research as a marker of severity and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to assess the relation of serum ferritin level with the severity of acute ischemic stroke. This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Medicine in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh from June 2020 to March 2023. In this study, 323 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled. The severity of neurological disability was evaluated in all participants using National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) within 48 hours of onset of stroke. Blood was taken for estimation of serum ferritin levels within 48 hours of admission. In this study, mean serum ferritin level was 208.3±161.1 ng/ml in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The study showed most of the participants with high serum ferritin level had severe stroke (n=57, 77.0%; p<0.001). A statistically significant correlation was found between NIHSS and serum ferritin levels in acute ischemic stroke patients (r=0.71). This study revealed that serum ferritin level is associated with severity of neurological disability among patients with acute ischemic stroke.
