“…The principal factors obstructing airflow in the oropharynx are the fractured maxilla's downward displacement and the symphyseal and bilateral body fractures of the mandible's loss of support for the glossal and suprahyoid musculature. (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) The radiological examination in our case verified that this was the reality. This also explains why the patient was placed in the optimal breathing position, which is sitting with his head bent.…”

Background: Patients with LeFort III fractures are at an elevated risk of needing emergency airway management because of midface instability and oropharyngeal airway obstruction. Lefort fracture includes fracture of the nasofrontal junction, bilateral area of the frontozygomatic suture, and probable fracture of the zygomatic arch. This fracture is also referred to as cranial facial disjunction. The Novel treatment for bilateral Lefort III is surgical management and medical management. It may be present in anyone who meets with an accident. Here we present the case of a 41-year adult man who came to the emergency department with complaints of head injury, absence of consciousness, nasal bleed drop by drop, swelling in the face, tooth avulsion, and prickling sensation over the lower right side of the face. The patient was kept in emergency ICU for observation and monitoring for one day, then referred to neurosurgery ICU where he was administered intravenous pan 40mg, Inj emset 2ml, Inj pause 1gm, Inj levopril 1gm, Inj ceftriaxone 1gm, Inj optineurin with 500ml ns, Tab zeredol 20 mg, Tab limce 500mg. The Patient was taken to the ophthalmology operation theater for suturing. Open reduction and internal fixation this surgical procedure is done on my patient. The patient's prognosis was good.

“…8,10 Conventional physiotherapy treatment includes closed kinematic chain exercises of upper limb, upper and lower extremity range of motion exercises, stretching and strengthening exercises for upper limb, trunk and lower limb, balance & coordination, manual dexterity exercises (e.g., grasp release), and teaching of activities of daily living (ADLs), according to the patient's needs. 22 It will be performed for 60 minutes/day, five days/week, for six weeks. 16,23,24 Control group After screening and randomization, the control group will receive conventional physiotherapy treatment.…”

Background: Stroke is a neurological disability produced by vascular-related acute focal injury to the central nervous system and is one of the leading causes of disability in adults, and it is frequently accompanied by motor skill loss. Patients suffering from hemiplegia after a stroke are more prone to have fall and are more likely to experience further injury due to irregular gait, diminished muscular strength, and functional impairment. In the affected upper limb of the hemiplegic stroke, spasticity in the shoulder girdle causes scapular malalignment, which reduces the functional mobility and stability of the upper limb. This is reflected as the reduced reciprocal arm swing during walking, which is further reinforced by an abnormal synergy pattern on the affected side. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a treatment strategy that stimulates motor activity and enhances control and function of the neuromuscular system. This research protocol is intended to assess and evaluate the effects of applying scapular and upper limb PNF along with conventional physiotherapy treatment to subacute-stroke patients on their scapular alignment, upper limb function, and gait. Methods: A total of 40 individuals in total will be allocated equally into two groups, group-A (experimental) and group-B (control). Both groups will be receiving treatment for six weeks with five sessions per week. Each patient will be examined both before and after therapy using the Palpation Meter (PALM), the Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Upper Extremity (FMA-UE), 10-Meter Walk Test, Handheld dynamometer (10MWT), and Dynamic gait index (DGI). After six weeks of therapy, the results will be assessed and the data will be analyzed before and after the intervention using a paired t-test to discover within-group differences in measurements. Conclusions: This physiotherapy method may be used in the management of stroke patients if our study's hypothesis is found to be valid. Registration: CTRI (CTRI/2023/05/052930, 19/05/2023).
