Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.

Triple Technique for Neglected Locked Patellar Dislocation With Lateral Release, Synthetic Medial Patellofemoral Ligament, and Peroneus Longus Autograft Medial Quadriceps Tendon‐Femoral Ligament Reconstruction

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Patellar dislocation is a frequent emergency presentation. First‐time dislocations are associated with medial patellofemoral ligament injury in up to 94.7% of cases. Although many reduce spontaneously, reduction under anesthesia may be required.

Beyond photography: Evaluation of the consumer digital camera to identify strabismus and anisometropia by analyzing the Bruckner′s reflex

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2013
Amblyopia screening is often either costly or laborious. We evaluated the Canon Powershot TX1 (CPTX1) digital camera as an efficient screener for amblyogenic risk factors (ARF). We included 138 subjects: 84-amblyopes and 54-normal.

Evaluation of changes in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and visual functions in cases of optic neuritis and multiple sclerosis

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2013
Context: Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning has been demonstrated in cases of optic neuritis (ON) and multiple sclerosis (MS) in Caucasian eyes, but no definite RNFL loss pattern or association with visual functions is known in Indian eyes.

Usefulness of a standardized scleral buckling technique for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

PLoS ONE
PurposeRhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) requires timely treatment to prevent vision loss. Buckling surgery is a vital intervention; however, surgeon proficiency in buckling surgery is declining, and efforts are needed to preserve it.
