Rather than being contained within the usual library space, public libraries are deploying services across a variety of sites. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Flybrary project (developed by the Bakul Foundation and the Airports Authority of India), as a public space book-sharing project located in Bhubaneswar Airport, to gain insights about accessibility, outreach and engagement beyond library spaces.

Highly appreciated for his” sumptuous and inventive language” (James Sutherland Smith), poet, critic and translator Debasish Lahiri from Lal Baba College, affiliated to the University of Calcutta, is the new type of international writer who builds bridges among cultures fusing traditions and inviting comparative readings, in the spirit of the new world literature theorized by David Damrosch or Homi Bhabha, who claim that no national literature evolves in isolation from the others.

Background: Paraspinal abscess during the neonatal period is extremely uncommon. Few case reports have been reported in the age group 3-12 years. Case Presentation: A neonate had presented with progressive paraspinal swelling. Radiological Investigations suggested it to be either a cystic lymphangioma or Meningomyelocele. However Clinical findings and lab reports strongly suggested an inflammatory lesion. Management and outcome: in view of strong clinical suspicion, an Incision and drainage of the abscess was done. It revealed frank pus which was sent for culture and sensitivity.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM) is one of the most promising innovations in implant dentistry, that allows the production of patient-specific implants with higher accuracy, better anatomical adaptability, and improved clinical results. This digital workflow minimizes material waste, production time, and surgical complexity while enabling precise personalization.

Hellen Keller famously said, “Blindness cuts us off from the things, deafness cut us off from the people”. Hearing and speech loss limits one from interacting with one’s peers, and so impacts the ability to participate in social activities. In children, it interferes learning.1Children with sensory deficits are most commonly encountered with poor oral hygiene, which is attributed to their physical inability and also due to reduced access to proper dental care2.

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare and aggressive soft tissue malignancy, comprising 5%–10% of all soft tissue sarcomas (STS). It predominantly affects young adults and typically arises in the extremities, with atypical presentations in the trunk, such as the flank, being exceedingly rare.1 Due to its insidious growth and histological resemblance to other spindle cell tumors, SS presents significant diagnostic challenges, leading to delays in treatment.

Thoracic trauma frequently associated with morbidity and mortality. Rib fractures considered most common aetiology. The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of nerve block in rib fractures patients. Methods: During the period January 2017- January 2026 a retrospective study took place. Two hundred seventyeight (278) patients diagnosed already with rib fractures underwent nerve bock by thoracic surgery department(as outpatients at the emergency department and as patients already admitted) atGeneral Hospital of Nicaea-Piraeus, Greece.

This study assesses the current state of prosthetics and orthotics (P&O) rehabilitation services at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) under the Ghana Health Services (GHS) in Kumasi. The qualitative case study design enabled the exploration of infrastructure, human resources, logistics, and the overall quality of P&O services.

Drug repurposing, also known as drug repositioning or reprofiling, has emerged as a highly transformative strategy in modern pharmaceutical research, providing an efficient and economical alternative to traditional de novo drug discovery processes. Traditional drug development pipelines require 10 to 15 years and financial investments exceeding two billion dollars, while repurposingmakesefficient use of pre-existing clinical safety, pharmacokinetic, and toxicological profiles.

Ovarian enlargements cystic or solid ,may occur at any age. Functional and inflammatory enlargements of the ovary develop almost exclusively during reproductive age group. They may be asymptomatic or they may produce local discomfort, menstrual disturbances ,infertility or may acutely present as haemorrhage rupture or torsion .Ovarian mucinous cystadenomas are cystic lined by mucin producing epithelial cells.
