Over the last 30 years, fracture management has evolved toward a tendency now in many units to carry out open reduction and internal fixation, rather than the original methods of closed reduction. However, there are also important differences that significantly influence the management of facial fractures. This study discusses the traditional wire osteosynthesis method for management of facio maxillary fractures.Cranio-maxillofacial injuries affect a significant proportion of trauma patients. They can occur in isolation, or in combination with other serious injuries, including cranial, spinal, upper and lower body injuries.The management of cranio-maxillofacial trauma includes treatment of facial bone fractures, dento alveolar trauma, and soft tissue injuries, as well as associated injuries, mainly of the head and neck.The basic difference between rigid and non rigid fixation centers on inter fragmentary mobility. If there is mobility of the osseous fragments during active use of the skeletal structure after application of internal fxation devices, internal fixation is non rigid. An example of nonrigid fixation is a trans osseous wire placed across a fracture.

Orchids are beautiful, aren't they? Decorations made of these spectacular plants make the whole atmosphere divine! Their range of colour, the pattern of the flowers and the dots and ridges on the floral parts make them unique and 'different'. Interestingly, they are the most well-praised medicinal plants in the world. For ages, most countries have been harbouring and using these plants to treat several ailments like that in Ayurved, ancient Chinese medicine, etc. They're also advocated and boasted for potential healers. Besides, numerous folklore uses, which may or may not be documented, can be traced. Being very juvenile, our research has provided scanty (as compared to their actual uses) information on the validation part of these plants. Orchids in Traditional Medicine tries to take you to the mysteriously beautiful world of orchids, providing a glimpse into understanding their potential and medicinal uses. It also seeks to putatively understand the Ayurvedic doctrine and the existing disputes regarding the use of orchids. Let us now explore the world of medicinal orchids!

Orchid flowers are wonderful creation of the Almighty. They are beautiful in their appearance and unique in several aspects like morphology, anatomy, development, association with fungi for their growth and pollination strategies. Since ages, voluminous researches in these fields have been carried, but we are still juvenile as far as the singularity is concerned. This book emphasizes some basic aspects of orchidaceous plant. Emphasis is also given to identify, cultivate and maintain these spectacular flowers at the net house without much knowledge of plant science. Incorporation of modern biotechnology in orchid research is also mentioned without going in much detail. There are 16 tables, 5 informative boxes and 46 figures explaining various peculiarities of orchidaceous plants. This book also provides a list of glossary related to orchid terminologies, good reference books and websites and some hundreds of publications that may quench the thirst of orchid lovers and researchers. This book would certainly be helpful the amateur orchidologist and students of plant biology.
