Borderline phyllodes tumor of breast in a premenarchal girl: A relatively common tumor at an uncommon age

Phyllodes tumors are relatively rare breast lesions that usually occur in the age group of 35 ‒ 55 years. It is a very rare diagnosis in young girls, particularly at prepubertal age. Because of the uncommon nature of this tumor in children, it may be misdiagnosed leading to inappropriate management. We report a case of a 9–year-old girl who was diagnosed as a case of borderline phyllodes tumor left breast. Simple mastectomy without axillary staging was performed. She has recovered well and is on follow up

Design and Simulation study of pineapple leaf reinforced fiber glass as an alternative material for prosthetic limb

In today's world humans are in rat race due to which they don't take care of their health due to which they tend to have improper bone growth density and growth this leads to number of fracture and in severe cases amputation due to lifestyle diseases in extreme cases and in cases of accidents. Prosthetic limbs are artificial limbs that are used to replace the original human limbs which a person lost due to any injury, accident and disease. It was found that there is a adhere need to find an optimized cost-effective method for amputated athletes so that they can run at same efficiency with their artificial limbs. This is very expensive medical equipment and its reliability is not that great so taking that into consideration there was a need to find an alternative design or material regarding the same. As the world is going towards bio degradable and bio composite as it is easy to work with, ecofriendly and same time inexpensive. There are many bio composites to choose from sisal, banana leaf, hemp, jute, bamboo etc. There is a desire to make this limb available to the last person without minimal change in impact so this sample went for compressive strength, tensile strength flexural, density, impact, hardness, and wear. So, it was concluded PALF as an alternative material due to its good mechanical properties
