We report a 37 year female patient, admitted with complains of fever, jaundice
and myalgia of seven days. There was no history of trauma, drug abuse, seizure or
vigorous exercise nor history of renal and musculoskeletal disease. Here we have
discussed the clinical features, biochemical derangements, diagnosis of coxsackie
B virus, multi organ involvement and need of urgent hemodialysis for appropriate
management of the case.

Full Coverage Crowns and Resin-bonded Bridge Combination for Missing Mandibular Anterior Teeth
(Kathmandu University, 2018) Rokaya, D; Mahat, Y; Sapkota, B; KC, Basnyat S
ABSTRACT
Most often the anterior teeth and those that are visible when a patient speaks or
smiles are chosen for esthetic restorations. The mandibular anterior fixed bridge
often presents problems to the dentist due to the size of the natural teeth and
their visibility. In addition, due to high cost factor, many patients are not able to
afford fixed partial denture for missing anterior teeth. This article describes a cost
effective technique for the restoration of missing mandibular anterior teeth by
fabrication of full coverage crowns and resin-bonded fixed bridge combination.

Bilateral Clavicular Fracture with Unilateral Scapular Fracture
(Kathmandu University, 2018) Ranabhat, A; Yang, C; Guo, ZP
ABSTRACT
The aim of this report is to present a rare case of bilateral clavicular fracture with
a unilateral scapular fracture of a young patient following high-velocity trauma
without any comorbidity. Clavicle fracture is common however, simultaneously,
both clavicle and scapular fracture is a rare entity. The incidence of bilateral clavicle
fracture is 0.43% of clavicle fractures with an overall incidence of between 0.011
and 0.017%. According to our knowledge, no similar case has been reported. We
present a case of 35 years old male who encountered a high energy trauma with
a resulting right-sided comminuted midshaft clavicle fracture with the ipsilateral
displaced scapular body fracture and left-sided midshaft clavicular fracture. He
underwent open reduction and internal fixation. The range of movements of both
acrominoclavicular joints was satisfactory after three months of follow-up. Open
reduction and internal fixation resulted in a good outcome.
