Management of polytrauma patients is one the most difficult and challenging tasks for an orthopaedic surgeon, and it includes different aspects of intervention: emergent resuscitative care, early surgical care, post-operative care and delayed rehabilitative care. We report an interesting case of multiple skeletal injuries with a coexisting pattern of fractures of bilateral patellae with bilateral pertrochanteric fractures of femur with a missed talar fracture following a dashboard type of injury in a road traffic accident. We are not aware of a similar case reported in literature in the past. We highlight the management protocol in such a case and review the available literature regarding such a presentation.

    We propose that increased pesticides' toxicity was related to an increase in bioassay volume, since more pesticide molecules were able to interact with or accumulate the fish. However, there seem to be no relationship between the effects of water volume, water column height and Kow value of chemical...

    The importance of drug lipophilicity on absorption from the liver surface was examined in rats using paraben derivatives, antipyrine, Sudan III, and Sudan blue. The log partition coefficient (PC) of n-octanol/water ranged from -1.39 to 4.62. The compounds were applied to the rat liver surface using a...
