    Ganglionic cyst most commonly occurs in hand and wrist. When it presents in uncommon location like in lower limb, it causes a diagnostic dilemma. One such case is ours, an uncommon presentation of intra muscular cystic ganglion of rectus femoris. Due to its unlikely presentation in rectus femoris, diagnosis and management was delayed. A 12 years old boy presented with complaints of pain and swelling over left lower limb in suprapatellar region. On radiographic and ultrasound examination, swelling was found to be cystic lesion in rectus femoris. Histopathological examination of biopsied specimen was found to be intra muscular ganglion cyst of rectus femoris. The patient’s general condition improved with betterment in laboratory parameters, resolution of the lesion, without any sequelae, no residual deformity and excellent clinical outcome. To consider cystic ganglion as differential diagnosis, along with intra muscular myxoma, lipoma and synovial cyst in patients with lower limb intra muscular swelling

    Effect of an ulnar styloid Base unrepaired fracture on outcome after plate fixing of a distal radus fracture

    Background: The impact of an unrepaired ulnar styloid base fracture on recovery after internal fixation of a distal part of the radius fracture is uncertain. To test the hypothesis that there is no difference in wrist motion or function scores between those with an untreated fracture of the ulnar styloid base and those without ulnar fracture, we assessed a series of patients with an internally fixed fracture of the distal part of the radius. Methods: In a prospective study of plate-and-screw fixation of distal radial fractures, two cohorts of seventy-six matched patients, one with a fracture of the ulnar styloid base and the other without ulnar fracture, were retrospectively analysed. They matched patients for age, sex, type of AO fracture, and mechanism of injury. The two cohorts were analyzed at six, twelve and twenty-four months postoperatively for differences in motion, grip strength, pain, the Gartland and Werley score, arm, shoulder, and hand score disabilities, and the Short Form-36 score. Sixty-four patients with < 2mmof displacement of a ulnar styloid base fracture were compared with forty-nine patients with greater displacement in a second analysis. With the use of regression analysis and the probability ratio test, differences between cohorts and cohorts were determined over time. Results: No significant differences were found at any of the follow-intervals between patients with an unrepaired fracture of the base of the ulnar styloid and those without ulnar fracture. However, at six months, there was a trend towards lower grip strength (71 percent [on the contralateral side] compared to 79 percent; mean difference, 28 percent [95 percent confidence interval= 215.3 percent to 20.6 percent]; p= 0.03) and lower bending (54 compared to 59; mean difference, 25[95 percent confidence interval= 211.7 to 20.8]; p= 0.02) and ulnar deviation (32 compared with 59). There were no significant differences in any measurement of the tested outcome between patients with a displacement of an unrepaired fracture of the ulnar styloid base and patients with less displacement. Conclusions: After treatment of a distal radial fracture with plate-and-screw fixation, an unrepaired fracture of the base of the ulnar styloid does not appear to influence function or outcome, even when the ulnar fracture was initially displaced ≥2mm.

    Phishing email detection using deep learning algorithms

    E-mail is one of the most widely recognised channels of communication, whether for personal or corporate purposes. The worst part about spam emails is that they intrude on user’s privacy without their consent, and the constant bombardment of spam mails fills up the user's entire email space. Additionally, the issue of wasting network capacity and time checking and deleting spam mails makes it an even more concerning issue. Although confrontation tactics are constantly being upgraded, the results of those methods are now unsatisfactory. Furthermore, phishing emails have been on the rise in recent years. To combat the issue of phishing emails, more effective phishing detection technology is required. We intend to create a phishing email detection tool that analyses the email structure first, using an upgraded Convolutional Neural Networks model with multilayer vectors and Long Short-Term Neural Network (LSTM) to model emails at the email header, character level, email content, and word level all at the same time. To assess the efficacy, we'll use an unbalanced dataset with actual phishing and genuine email ratios. The total accuracy of the experiment achieves a high percentage.&nbsp
