Avulsion Fractures at the Base of the 2<sup>nd</sup> Metacarpal Due to the Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus Tendon: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Introduction: Simultaneous contraction of the extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) with forced hyperflexion of the wrist can result in avulsion of the tendon and its bony attachment at its insertion at the dorsum of the base of the second metacarpal. This is a rare and often unreported fracture pattern.
Case Presentation: We present a 31- year- old male who sustained a hyperflexion injury. He was managed surgically and had good post-operative outcomes. A literature search revealed 16 papers covering 18 cases of similar injuries. 12 were initially managed surgically and 6 were managed conservatively.
Conclusions: Of the open reductions and internal fixations, 11 (92%) were successful and patients made a full recovery. Conservative management was unsuccessful in 4 cases; one patient required surgery for metacarpal boss, one patient had retraction of the tendon at one week follow up and another had weak flexion of the wrist. We recommend open reduction and internal fixation for these injuries. It may allow a faster recovery and therefore allow an earlier return to work and activit

1-Chloro-4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydronaphthalene-2-carbaldehyde
The title compound, C17H11Cl3O, was synthesized via the Vilsmeier–Haack reaction. The dihydronaphthalene ring system is non-planar, the dihedral angle between the two fused rings being 10.87 (13)°; it forms a dihedral angle of 81.45 (10)° with the dichlorophenyl ring. The crystal structure features intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds
1,3-Bis(hydroxymethyl)benzimidazolin-2-one
The title compound, C9H10N2O3, crystallizes with one and a half molecules in the asymmetric unit, one lying on a general position and the other on a twofold rotation axis. The dihedral angle between the two independent benzimidazole ring systems is 18.96 (5)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding involving N-hydroxymethyl and carbonyl groups, and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds
1-(1-Benzofuran-2-yl)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one
In the title compound, C17H11ClO2, the benzofuran ring system is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.011 Å) and forms a dihedral angle of 10.53 (6)° with the chlorophenyl ring. No significant intermolecular interactions are observed
Influence of Eysenckian Personality Traits in Choice of Specialization by Young Omani Doctors.
Objectives:The role of personality in occupational specialty choices has been explored in many parts of the world. To our knowledge, there is a dearth of such studies in the Arab/Islamic population and Oman is no exception. This study aimed to explore the relationship between personality traits and specialty choice among residents of Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB). Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among Omani resident physicians working under OMSB. The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire–Revised was employed to quantify personality subtypes (e.g., psychoticism, extraversion, and neuroticism). Specialties were categorized as surgical, medical, and diagnostics as per standard of North American medical specialties. A total of 255 residents in 17 medical specialties participated in the study (m = 40.4%; f = 59.6%) of 300 eligible subjects giving a response rate of 85.0%. Results: Respondents who had chosen surgical specialties scored significantly higher on the psychoticism subscale than those who had opted for medical and diagnostic specialties. As for individual specialties, orthopedic respondents had statistically significant higher mean scores on psychoticism and neuroticism compared to radiologists and psychiatrists who scored the lowest in the two personality traits, respectively. Conclusions: This study found statistically significant associations between personality traits and choices of specialty by young Omani doctors. We recommend more detailed studies that examine further psychological and cultural variables that are likely to affect the choices of specializations by young Omani professionals in both medical and non-medical fields
3-Ethyl-6-(4-fluorophenyl)-7H-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine
In the title compound, C12H11FN4S, the thiadiazine ring adopts a twist-boat conformation. The dihedral angle between the triazolothiadiazine system and the benzene ring is 10.54 (9)°. The crystal structure is characterized by C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing also exhibits π–π interactions, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.6348 (15) Å
Ethyl 2-(4-benzoyl-2,5-dimethylphenoxy)acetate
The title compound, C19H20O4, was synthesized via a Fries rearrangement of hydroxy benzophenone. The dihedral angle between the least-squares planes of the two benzene rings is 69.04 (11)°. The molecular structure displays an intramolecular non-classical C—H⋯O hydrogen bond
(5,7-Dimethyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)methyl diethyldithiocarbamate
In the title compound, C17H21NO2S2, the coumarin ring system is nearly planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.080 (2) Å from the mean plane. An intramolecular C—H⋯S hydrogen bond occurs.
