Nepal is one of the world’s least-developed countries due to years of isolation and only recent independence. This has caused Nepalese children to suffer from a lack of resources, leading to suboptimal levels of health.

A 40-year-old female with necrotizing fasciitis from heroine injection involving her right buttock and thigh was in septic shock and recovering after debriding 1400 sq cm. The debrided area was then covered with BTM™, stapled in place.

Non-communicable, progressive diseases are often underdiagnosed but have potentially disastrous consequences on quality of life and workforce productivity. Hypertension, in particular, has taken precedence in research studies in Nepal in an effort to understand its prevalence, impact, and control.

Studies have shown that direct admission to operating room (OR) can reduce mortality in trauma patients. We hypothesize that expediting direct admin to OR resuscitation time for specific mechanisms of injuries (MOIs), especially for motor vehicle accident (MVA) patients, will improve overall mortality.

During hypoxia-inducing events such as hemorrhagic shock, damage to the endothelial glycocalyx occurs. Injury to this luminal carbohydrate-protein matrix has been linked to downstream dysfunction in coagulation mechanisms.

Cocaine drug abuse is a growing problem throughout the United States of America. The cardiac implications of angina have been well studied but the chronic cardiomyopathic effect and heart failure need to be explored further.

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) is a common arrhythmia resulting from enhanced ectopic nodal automaticity in foci of sub-pulmonic valvular pacemaker cells, re-entry circuit involving Purkinje fibers, and induced by toxins like digoxin or reperfusion after myocardial infarction.

Mucosal melanoma is a rare and extremely aggressive malignancy, distinct from other melanomas. Melanocytes, though abundant in the skin, can also be found in the mucous membrane.

Although adequate venous drainage from the cranium is imperative for maintaining normal intracranial pressure, the bony anatomy surrounding the inferior petrosal sinus and the potential for a compressive canal or tunnel has, to our knowledge, not been previously investigated.
