    Abstract The aim of this review is to focus light on the history of the human vermiform appendix from the morphological, anatomical, surgical, classification of the origin, types, blood supply aspects in order to understand the real function and summarized this information that positively impacts the clinical decision in case of appendicitis, the most popular surgical condition. Although the characteristic features of the normal and diseased appendix had been reported for many previous centuries, it was still the most common challenge facing every single day in the operation room. The appendectomy, the commonest surgical emergency procedure, may cause little confusion for the surgeons due to highly variable situations of inside the abdominal cavity. However, the recent imaging techniques have increased the surgeon's ability for crucial diagnosis of the diseased appendix. Besides the above-mentioned criteria, with its clinical features diagnosis and management, the author was deeply searched in many scientific databases including EMBASE, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Pubmed Central (PMC), Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus.

    Abstract Background: Pediatric femoral fractures are common in emergency rooms, with treatment options varying by age. This study compares elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) and plate fixation for diaphyseal femoral fractures in children aged 5-10.
    Material and methods: Conducted at Al-Kindi Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, from December 2017 to December 2019, this prospective study included 32 children with closed transverse diaphyseal femoral fractures. Patients were divided into two groups: 16 treated with ESIN (Group 1) and 16 with plate fixation (Group 2). Criteria excluded comminuted, open, or pathological fractures.
    Results: Group 1 had a mean age of 7.1 years and weight of 23.7 kg; Group 2 had a mean age of 7.8 years and weight of 30.9 kg. ESIN resulted in shorter operative times (58.4 minutes), earlier weight-bearing, and quicker fracture union (8.8 weeks) compared to plate fixation (76.3 minutes, 11.9 weeks). Blood loss was significantly less in Group 1 (32.8 ml) versus Group 2 (205.0 ml). No significant differences in wound healing or leg length discrepancies were observed.
    Conclusions: 1. Our study indicates a preference for Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing (ESIN) over plate fixation for pediatric femoral shaft fractures in children aged 5-10 years. 2. ESIN is associated with shorter operative times and faster commencement of weight-bearing, critical in pediatric recovery. 3. While ESIN is generally preferable, plate fixation may be better suited in certain clinical scenarios, emphasizing the importance of personalized treatment. 4. Based on our findings, ESIN is recommended for treating transverse diaphyseal femur fractures in the specified pediatric age group. 5. Recommends further studies, including randomized controlled trials, for a more comprehensive understanding of these treatments' long-term outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Humerus shaft fractures are common in orthopaedic practice. The emphasis in treatment has shifted from prolonged immobilisation to early mobilisation and internal fixation when needed for a quicker return to normal function. Internal fixation methods include plate osteosynthesis and intramedullary nailing. This study specifically evaluated the effectiveness of flexible intramedullary nails in treating diaphyseal humeral fractures.
    Material and methods: Between April 2007 and January 2010, Alexandria University Hospital treated 29 patients (21 males, 8 females) with diaphyseal humeral fractures. Treatment involved closed reduction and percutaneous fixation using two flexible nails. Patients, aged 17 to 65 with a mean age of 32, were included if they did not have pathological fractures, were above 16 years old, and were medically suitable. Causes included pedestrian vehicle accidents (17 cases) and falls or sports-related activities (12 cases). Surgical intervention occurred 1 to 8 days after the injury.
    Results: Between April 2007 and January 2010, Alexandria University Hospital treated 29 patients (21 males, 8 females) for diaphyseal humeral fractures using closed reduction and percutaneous fixation with two flexible nails. Patients, aged 17 to 65, were monitored for an average of 18 months. Radiographic assessments showed complete union in nineteen fractures within 13 to 21 weeks. One patient experienced non-union but was successfully treated with bone grafting and plating. There were no significant intraoperative complications. Notably, four patients with preoperative radial nerve injuries recovered within 6 to 8 weeks. Evaluation using the Stewart and Hundley Scoring technique showed excellent outcomes for 60% of patients, good outcomes for 30%, fair outcomes for 5%, and poor outcomes for 5%.
    Conclusions: 1.The Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing (ESIN) technique shows promise in the treatment of humeral shaft fractures. 2. However, the success of treatment may depend on various factors, including patient age, fracture characteristics, and the presence of complications such as open fractures and radial nerve palsy. 3. Careful consideration of these factors is necessary when selecting a treatment approach for humeral shaft fractures.

    Abstract Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the standard treatment for terminal knee osteoarthritis. Simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (STKA) can be a cost-effective and practical option for patients with degenerative joint disease affecting both knees. The purpose of this study was to assess complication rates and functional outcomes following simultaneous versus staged bilateral total knee replacement.
    Material and methods: Approximately 60 individuals who experienced debilitating knee osteoarthritis were enrolled in a prospective study with a randomized comparative design. Out of these, 30 patients underwent simultaneous total knee arthroplasty (STKA), while the remaining 30 individuals underwent two separate surgeries with a gap of 3-6 months between each procedure for both knees. After excluding 7 patients from both groups, a total of 53 patients were included in the study and followed up for at least 12 months.
    Results: Pre-operative demographic parameters were equated between both groups. The overall number of systemic complications was higher in the simultaneous group compared with the stagedone. Systemic complications were correlated with the elderly and high-risk populations. However, simultaneous procedures were safe in a low-risk group with shorter hospitalization and operative times.
    Conclusions: 1. Simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is considered safe and feasible mainly for younger individuals with ASA 1 or 2 health status. 2. Patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral TKA experience significantly reduced hospital stays. 3. The procedure may not be advisable for elderly patients at a higher risk of systemic complications.

    Abstract The goal of the current study is to determine how the internal control system (ICS) in Jordanian Islamic banks affects the link between the accounting information system (AIS) and employee performance (EP). The study’s target audience is actual Jordanian Islamic Bank workers, and a sample of 92 respondents, representing a response rate of about 70.22%, was selected from a total of 131 participants, themselves divided among 105 branches of Islamic Banks in Jordan. According to the data, there is a clear correlation between the AIS, which comprises information quality (IQ), system quality (SQ1), and service quality (SQ2), and the EP in Jordanian Islamic Banks, at a significance level of 0.00. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the impact of the ICS on the relationship between AIS and EP in Jordanian Islamic banks was statistically significant.

    Abstract Case presentation: A 31-year-old Asian male never-smoker living in the upper Midwest with a past medical history of congenital bilateral hearing loss sought treatment with a 1-week history of fever, fatigue, right-sided pleuritic chest pain, shortness of breath, productive cough with mild intermittent hemoptysis, night sweats, and unintentional 10-lb weight loss over 4 weeks. He was adopted from South Korea as an infant, and thus the family history was unknown. He worked in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning business, performing installations and repairs. There was no known exposure to animals, caves, rivers, lakes, or wooded areas. He travelled to South Korea and New Hampshire approximately 9 months previously. He did not take any medication.

    Abstract Tunneled indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) are frequently used to palliate symptomatic dyspnea due to recurrent pleural effusions. The drainage valve of IPCs is an important component of the catheter as fracture of the valve leads to malfunctioning of the IPCs. Replacement of the catheter includes risks such as pain, infection, pneumothorax, and procedure cost. We report two cases of malfunctioning tunneled IPC drainage valves repaired by our noninvasive method and discuss the need for a repair kit and a standardized approach to this repair in case of nonavailability of repair kits.
