Avascular necrosis: A rare complication of steroid therapy for pemphigus
A patient of pemphigus vulgaris presented with avascular necrosis of the femur after long-term high-dose corticosteroid therapy. Corticosteroids used on a long-term basis can cause avascular necrosis of bone and this has been seen in various diseases ...

Scoring Root Necrosis in Cassava Using Semantic Segmentation [PDF]
Cassava a major food crop in many parts of Africa, has majorly been affected by Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD). The disease affects tuberous roots and presents symptoms that include a yellow/brown, dry, corky necrosis within the starch-bearing tissues.

Existence result and free boundary limit of a tumor growth model with necrotic core [PDF]
We analyze a system of cross-diffusion equations that models the growth of an avascular-tumor spheroid. The model incorporates two nonlinear diffusion effects, degeneracy type and super diffusion. We prove the global existence of weak solutions and justify the convergence towards the free boundary problem of the Hele-Shaw type when the pressure gets ...

Rate-Equation Modelling and Ensemble Approach to Extraction of Parameters for Viral Infection-Induced Cell Apoptosis and Necrosis [PDF]
We develop a theoretical approach that uses physiochemical kinetics modelling to describe cell population dynamics upon progression of viral infection in cell culture, which results in cell apoptosis (programmed cell death) and necrosis (direct cell death).

A multiphase Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy model for tumour growth with necrosis [PDF]
We derive a Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy model to describe multiphase tumour growth taking interactions with multiple chemical species into account as well as the simultaneous occurrence of proliferating, quiescent and necrotic regions. Via a coupling of the Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy equations to a system of reaction-diffusion equations a multitude of phenomena such ...

Abstract Purpose Proper tension of the collateral ligaments is the key to success in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The study aimed to identify the distraction force for the medial and lateral femorotibial compartments in tension‐controlled ligament‐balanced TKA at 0° and 90° of knee flexion. Methods A literature search was conducted in PubMed up to 31

Anemia and retinopathy of prematurity: A narrative review
Anemia in infants who are at greatest risk of developing severe retinopathy of prematurity is almost universal. There is plausible evidence in the literature correlating anemia with severe ROP. However, the relationship is complex, and further study is needed to better understand the potential molecular mechanisms for anemia‐associated ROP.

Liposome‐Based Interventions in Knee Osteoarthritis
Liposomes offer new opportunities for the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). This review examines the last decade's advances, focusing on intra‐articularly (IA) administered liposomes and liposome‐based systems as pharmaceutical carriers and lubricants, while discussing their in vivo efficacy. Functionalized liposomes (with polymers, peptides etc.)
