Introduction: The vertebra is the most frequent location for skeletal metastases. Thyroid carcinoma is one of the commonest primary sites that metastasized to the bone. Metastasis to the thoracic vertebra is commoner compared to lumbar and cervical areas. Clinical diagnoses are difficult when adult patients present with concurrent involvement of th

Background of Study: Honey-based dressings have a potential benefit in treating wounds in implant-related surgery due to its anti-microbial activities and healing potentials. The study aims to compare Tualang honey spray with film spray (Opsite®) as an alternative dressing material following long bone fracture fixations. This is a preliminary stud

Introduction and Objectives: Pelvic tumour resections are associated with extensive blood loss. Various options of blood management in surgery are available but limited use particularly for such procedures. Identifying predictive factors for extensive blood loss is essential. This study aims to evaluate the volume of blood loss in limb salvage pelv

Background: In the setting of severe trauma, placement of external fixation is an expedient and minimally invasive method of temporarily stabilizing fractures. However, the procedure is not without complications. Most complications are related to pins insertion. Case report: We report a case of a 17-year-old man who sustained an open tibial fractur

Introduction: Scapulothoracic dissociation refers to the high-force traumatic injury causing complete or partial separation of the shoulder girdle from the lateral thoracic wall. Commonly observed mode of injury is a massive traction force applied to the upper extremity. In any scapulothoracic dissociation, scapular displacement is accompanied by s

Introduction: Soft tissue sarcomas of the pelvis are rare and limited information is available in the literature. We evaluated patients with soft tissue sarcoma involving the pelvic bone who had internal and external hemipelvectomy in our institution to understand the anatomic extension of these tumours as well as the outcomes of surgical treatment

Introduction: The rates of cure for pelvic tumours are still lower compared to tumours involving the long bones even with advancement in treatment modalities. Safe surgical margins, an important prognostic factor for oncologic outcomes, are difficult to achieve when performing surgical resections for bone and soft tissue tumours involving the pelvi

Two-way Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) schemes commonly make use of a set of unitaries corresponding to binary encodings which can in principle be distinguished perfectly. In this paper, inline with the proposal in Chiribella et al. (2008) [13], we introduce a non-entangled two-way QKD scheme with two sets of unitaries of which the elements in one

We check for noise correlations between forward and backward paths in two-way quantum key distribution, which leads to reduced potentialities for an eavesdropper since she can only hide herself behind uncorrelated (natural) noise. The security enhancement is evaluated through the ratio of eavesdropper’s information and legitimate users’ informa
