https://www.selleckchem.com/products/lc-2.html Hand replantation is a common surgical procedure worldwide. However, this practice is underdeveloped in many resource-constrained countries in part due to a lack of surgical microscopes. We present a patient successfully managed using loupe magnification. A 17-year-old patient presented with an amputated right hand secondary to a chaff cutter. After an 8-hour surgical procedure, the amputated hand was successfully re-attached to the stump using loupes. The patient's functional recovery was satisfactory after two years of follow-up. In conclusion, replantation of extremities can be successfully achieved using loupe magnification. Loupes should be considered an alternative to operating microscopes for replantation of extremities especially in resource-constrained countries.King cobra bites are extremely rare in the western world. These bites can be fatal due to the large volume of the venom injected. We report a case of digital ischaemia from a King cobra bite in a young man who was working in a zoo in Netherlands. He was protected from systemic envenomation as he was wearing a protective glove. However, his right index finger developed subsequent gangrene and he underwent a ray amputation. The current literature on the management of snake bites to hands is reviewed and the role of early decompression discussed.Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder with an estrogen correlation. The disease can worsen or present with menopause. Granulosa cell tumors (GCT) are estrogen-secreting ovarian sex-cord stromal tumors with median incidence in the early postmenopausal years. We report a 38-year-old female who presented with a 20 cm pelvic mass and elevated inhibin and underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for a Stage I GCT. She developed progressive post-operative joint pain and weakness before an eventual diagnosis of seropositive RA. With tumor resection and surgical menopause,
