Green extraction of supercritical liquid CO2 (SCFE-CO2 ) using co-solvent methanol can produce a more complete phenolic acid composition and a higher quantity when compared to those without using co-solvent. The extract was devoid of toxicity. SCFE-CO2 is carried out by putting 100 g of Quercus infectoria gall of size 0.3 mm into extraction tube at temperature of 60 °C and the pressure of 20 MPa with a CO2 flow rate of 25 ml/min using co-solvent methanol with variation of flow speed 0...

KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Ectopic mediastinal parathyroid adenoma causes primary hyperparathyroidism presenting as hypercalcemia. When children with hypercalcemia present with slipped capital femoral epiphysis, a detailed evaluation for hypercalcemia must be done before surgery. ABSTRACT: The association between slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and hyperparathyroidism has been reported and is rare. Each is known to affect different age groups. We report a case of a 13-year-old boy with SCFE and primary HPT leading to hypercalcemia and skeletal deformities...

INTRODUCTION: Atypical and subacute presentations of pediatric bacterial septic arthritis are difficult to diagnose due to lack of systemic manifestations and inadequate laboratory data. Furthermore, they may mimic certain well-documented pediatric disorders to confound the diagnosis and management. CASE REPORT: The authors present a case of an adolescent obese male with features suggestive of a slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). Further investigations revealed bacterial septic arthritis which may have contributed to the slip...

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is the most common hip disorder affecting children and adolescents aged between 9 and 16 years, affecting approximately 10 per 100,000 children per year. The diagnosis of SCFE is often delayed, leading to an increased risk of complications. This study aims to provide the latest evidence concerning the causes of diagnostic delay and risk factors for SCFE and to educate general practitioners and paediatricians to help reduce delays in diagnosis and provide earlier therapeutic intervention...

BACKGROUND: In situ pinning is one of the primary treat-ments for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) in pedi-atric patients, many of whom have multiple comorbidities. Despite the fact that SCFE pinning is a frequently performed procedure in the United States, little is known regarding sub-optimal postoperative outcomes in this patient population. The purpose of this study was thus to identify the incidence, perioperative predictors, and specific causes of prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS) and readmissions following fixation...

One of the most prevalent hip pathologies that develops during adolescence is Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE), and over the past few decades, its incidence has been rising. To ensure an early diagnosis and prompt intervention, orthopedic surgeons should be aware of this entity. Review of recent developments in clinical examination and imaging diagnostic procedures. The presentation includes commonly used imaging methods, slippage measurement techniques, and classification schemes that are pertinent to treatment...

Epiphysiolysis (or Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis, SCFE) is a hip disorder involving children during prepubescence age. Traditionally, it is defined as a postero-medial slippage of the femoral epiphysis on the metaphysis, but, considering that femoral epiphysis is almost "stored" in the acetabulum, it could be better defined as laterally and anterior slippage of femoral metaphysis under the epiphysis.

Supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE) is gaining significant interest as a green technology for the recycling of end-of-life waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets, which contain large quantities of critical rare-earth elements such as neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium, are widely used in wind turbines and electric/hybrid vehicles. Hence, they are considered a promising secondary resource for these elements when they reach their end-of-life. Previously, the SCFE process was developed for recycling WEEE, including NdFeB; however, the process mechanism remains unexplored...

Amorphous solid dispersions (ASD) are one of the most adopted technologies for improving the solubility of novel molecules. Formulation of ASDs using solvent free methods such as hot melt extrusion (HME) has been in the spotlight off-lately. However, early-stage formulation development is tricky and a difficult bridge to pass due to limited drug availability. Material-sparing techniques (theoretical & practical) have been used for selecting suitable polymeric carriers for formulating ASDs. However, these techniques have limitations in predicting the effect of process parameters...

Background : Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a hip disorder that occurs in adolescence before epiphyseal plate closure, causing anatomical changes in the femoral head. Obesity is known to be the single most important risk factor for idiopathic slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), which is highly related to mechanical factors. Meanwhile, as increased slip angle increases major complications in patients with SCFE, slip severity is an important factor to evaluate prognosis. In obese patients with SCFE, higher shear stress is loaded on the joint, which increases the likelihood of slip...

BACKGROUND: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a common cause of hip pain in adolescents and is most often treated by in situ screw fixation. Orthopaedic follow-up is critical after treatment for SCFE due to risks of complications and subsequent contralateral slip. Recent studies have shown that socioeconomic deprivation is associated with decreased fracture care compliance, but no studies have explored this relationship with SCFEs. The study aims to determine the relationship between socioeconomic deprivation and SCFE follow-up care compliance...

PURPOSE: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a common pediatric hip disease and was associated with femoral retroversion, but femoral version was rarely measured. Therefore, mean femoral version, mean femoral neck version, and prevalence of femoral retroversion were analyzed for slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients. METHODS: A retrospective observational study evaluating preoperative hip magnetic resonance imaging of 27 patients (49 hips) was performed. Twenty-seven untreated slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients (28 slipped capital femoral epiphysis hips and 21 contralateral hips, age 10-16 years) were evaluated (79% stable slipped capital femoral epiphysis, 22 patients; 43% severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis, 12 patients)...

BACKGROUND: This study investigated the epidemiology and demographics of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) in South Korea using a nationwide population-based database. METHODS: Information on sex, age at onset, endocrine comorbidities, history of growth hormone therapy, history of radiation therapy, surgical methods, and complications in patients with SCFE aged younger than 18 years between 2007 and 2019 was retrieved from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database...

The current pharmaceutical manufacturing scenario involves different techniques for the processing of materials. For example, the extraction unit is one of the essential aspects of plant-based pharmaceuticals. Recently, various kinds of extraction techniques have been used for analytical and preparative scales; among them, a supercritical fluid extractor (SCFE) is the most widely used technique for extraction. It is used for an extensive range of crude drugs and can be possible with the help of SCFE by varying temperature/pressure...

BACKGROUND: The globally acknowledged treatment for mild to moderate slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is single screw in situ fixation, also used for prophylactic contralateral fixation. The Free-Gliding Screw (FG; Pega Medical) is a 2-part free-extending screw system designed to allow the growth of the proximal femur. We aimed to analyze the relationship between skeletal maturity and potential growth of the proximal physis and remodeling of the femoral neck using this implant...

BACKGROUND: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a hip disorder of late childhood and adolescence. Litigation involving SCFE may occur, as it is frequently diagnosed late, and/or may be temporally related to an injury. The purpose of this study was to review litigation cases involving SCFE in the US, focusing on the type of litigation (professional, premise, or product liability), the outcome of the litigation and indemnity payouts. METHODS: Cases of litigation involving SCFE were identified using 5 legal databases and Google Scholar searching for the term "slipped capital femoral epiphysis"...

INTRODUCTION: The deleterious influence of increased mechanical forces on capital femoral epiphysis development is well established; however, the growth of the physis in the absence of such forces remains unclear. The hips of non-ambulatory cerebral palsy (CP) patients provide a weight-restricted (partial weightbearing) model which can elucidate the influence of decreased mechanical forces on the development of physis morphology, including features related to development of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE)...

INTRODUCTION: In situ fixation is the gold standard for mild and moderate slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) cases. The condition is associated with a low percentage of avascular necrosis and chondrolysis.[1] The present study examines the postoperative femoral neck remodelling and implant elongation in cases of therapeutic and prophylactic in situ fixation using the free-gliding screw system. AIM: The aim of our study was to assess the postoperative femoral neck growth and evaluate the biomechanical evolution and complication's rate for 19 therapeutic and 11 prophylactic in situ fixations with a free-gliding screw...

BACKGROUND: Severe slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) leads to femoroacetabular impingement and restricted hip motion. We investigated the improvement of impingement-free flexion and internal rotation (IR) in 90 degrees of flexion following a simulated osteochondroplasty, a derotation osteotomy, and a combined flexion-derotation osteotomy in severe SCFE patients using 3D-CT-based collision detection software. METHODS: Preoperative pelvic CT of 18 untreated patients (21 hips) with severe SCFE (slip-angle>60 degrees) was used to generate patient-specific 3D models...
