Some modifications of the step-cut osteotomy for the correction of cubitus varus are described. It involves a 90 step-cut on the proximal humeral fragment after the initial transverse osteotomy; the distal fragment is translated medially to avoid an unsightly lateral condylar prominence at the elbow; and the osteotomy was fixated using two crossed pins with additional tension band wires or a plate and screws. Ten patients were treated by this method with uniform success. They were followed up for at least one year. The preoperative humeral-elbow-wrist (HEW) angle averaged -17.9. The final HEW angle averaged 8.6. No loss of correction or motion occurred. Complication was a transient ulnar neurapraxia. All of the patients were satisfied with the excellent cosmetic results. The author recommends this modification of the step-cut osteotomy as safe and effective.

Dengue is one of the highest occurring vector-borne diseases. It is caused by dengue viruses 1- 4. Currently, the disease is classified into dengue with or without warning signs and severe dengue based on WHO 2009 dengue classification. As of today, neither specific drugs nor commercial vaccine exist for dengue. The best treatment yet would be support, management and proper medical care. With no pathognomonic features that could differentiate it from other febrile illnesses, clinical diagnosis alone is insufficient. Yet, despite the current advances and existence of various laboratory diagnostic methods of dengue, a consensus singular method has not been established. There are several hypotheses or theories regarding the vaguely understood immunopathogenesis of dengue. Amongst these are the viral factors, host-immune factors and host-genetic factors. In addition to these, the occurrence of asymptomatic dengue has further complicated the disease. However, these individuals provide opportunities in the search for protective factors against dengue.

The oriental medicine differs from the western medicine in many aspects. Especially they show great differences in their understnding of diseases as the object of medical science. But their differences were often exaggerated and accentuated. In this article I would like to reveal various aspects of oriental medicine which have often been ignored by schematic comparison with the western medicine. They are as follows. 1) The pathology theory of the oriental medicine has changed as the time has gone by. 2) The pathology theory of the oriental medicine is not based on single paradigm. 3) Nosologic problems in oriental and western medicine.
