We have systematically reviewed the effect of alternative methods of stabilisation of open tibial fractures on the rates of reoperation, and the secondary outcomes of nonunion, deep and superficial infection, failure of the implant and malunion by the analysis of 799 citations on the subject, identified from computerised databases. Although 68 proved to be potentially eligible, only eight met a...

The incidence of children born with congenitally malformed hearts has changed little over the centuries. Our understanding of the lesions has improved subsequent to analysis in sequential fashion of the cardiac components. Ongoing differences in the approach to naming the lesions can now be resolved by careful application of the new evidence emerging from examination of the developing heart and...

The nails are affected by several dermatological and systemic diseases, and it is uncommon to find an isolated nail abnormalities.
