Even though posterior or postero-lateral dislocations of elbow are more common, both isolated medial and lateral dislocations of elbow are extremely uncommon. Since there are subtle findings and minimum pain after medial dislocation of elbow, these are sometimes missed by attending physician at first presentation and changes into chronic type with guarded prognosis. We report a case of a 15-year old boy with isolated medial dislocation of elbow which was correctly identified and treated with closed reduction and posterior slab application. Flexion extension as well as supination pronation of elbow 3 months after injury was nearly normal.

Case ReportsCardiovascular Complication following Covishield Vaccination in Nepal: A Case Report.
Nepal started the COVID-19 vaccination on 27 January 2021 with AstraZeneca/Oxford Coronavirus Disease-19 AZD1222 (Covishield) vaccine to control the Coronavirus disease pandemic. The vaccine has a good safety profile, with cardiovascular complications being rare. ⋯ This cardiovascular complication following the vaccination demands further investigation into the adverse event of the vaccine. However, since the benefit of the vaccine outweighs the risk, World Health Organization has recommended the continuity of the vaccine as of now.

Mean Evan's Index among Patients with Normal Computed Tomography Scan visiting Radiology Department in a Tertiary Care Centre of Nepal: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Evan's index is useful to objectively see if ventricles size is abnormal especially in borderline cases of hydrocephalus. Studying ventricular size in CT scan is essential in every pathology of the brain. Use of objective parameters to define hydrocephalus helps us not only to diagnose a case but also follow up the case following treatment. The aim of this study was to find out the mean even index among patients visiting the department of radiology of a tertiary care hospital. ⋯ The mean evan's index in our study population was lower than the normal cut-off value.

Lipid Profile Abnormalities in Newly Diagnosed Primary Hypothyroidism in a Tertiary Care Centre of Western Nepal: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Thyroid hormones have a major influence on synthesis, mobilization and metabolism of lipids. Hypothyroidism accounts for a notable cause of secondary dyslipidemia. This can increase the risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study was performed to find out the prevalence of lipid profile abnormalities in newly diagnosed primary hypothyroid states. ⋯ The prevalence of abnormal lipid profile parameters was similar to the study done in various studies in similar settings except for high-density lipid which showed both similarity and dissimilarity with other studies. Our study suggested that all newly diagnosed cases of primary hypothyroidism are to be investigated for dyslipidemia thus ensuring early treatment and prevention of complications.
