Outcomes of Vascularised Fibula Flaps for Reconstruction of Segmental Bone Defects at CoRSU Rehabilitation Hospital
REFNo: HS1203ES
General Objectives
To assess if vascularised fibula flap surgery for long segmental bone defects results in good outcomes for patients with an acceptable complication profile.
Specific objectives
1.To determine the functional and aesthetic outcomes of vascularised fibula flaps for treatment segmental bone defects from osteomyelitis.
2.To determine outcomes of use of vascularized fibula flap in reconstruction for pseudarthrosis of the tibia, benign tumor, trauma and infection
3.To determine the complications related to the use of vascularized fibula flap in the patient populations of infection, trauma, tumour, and pseudarthrosis.

The impact of value chain participation for smallholder farmers: evidence from the coffee sector in Uganda
REFNo: SS754ES
This proposal builds on our earlier work by trying to answer a logical follow-up question. Given what we know, namely: (i) supply side interventions tend to raise adoption rates (although the effect sizes are typically modest) but at best tend to have a marginal effect on farmer income, (ii) improved market access (a demand intervention) resulted in upgrading and large positive effect on both farm profit and productivity, but quantitatively small effects on adoption rates, there may be important complementarities between the supply and demand side.
The main objective of this study is to study the impact on productivity (yield) and income (farm profit) of relaxing both supply constraints and a demand constraint (access to a market for quality produce). Or in other words, what is the impact on productivity and income of farmers gaining access to a market where quality produce is paid a premium (i.e. participates in a high-value chain) and at the same time get access to subsidized inputs? By studying such complementarities between demand and supply factors, our proposed study is unique.

Depressed Skull fractures: Timing of surgery, systemic inflammatory response, intraoperative blood loss, surgical site infection, and post-traumatic seizures - (DESTINE study)
REFNo: HS1284ES
5) To compare the risk of developing a delayed PTE up to 6 months of postoperative period between early and delayed surgery of DSFs ,4) To compare the risk of SSI within 3 months of postoperative period between early and delayed surgery of DSFs ,3) To compare the volume of intraoperative blood loss during the elevation of the DSFs between early and delayed surgery ,2) To compare the changes of serum levels of inflammatory cytokines among TBI patients regarding the timing of the elevation of DSFs ,1) To describe the epidemiology, clinical and radiological presentations of patients with DSFs ,This study aims to determine whether the timing of surgery of DSFs has a relationship with the changes of the biological markers of SIR, the risk of excessive intraoperative blood loss, the occurrence of SSI, and the incidence of PTE; this could optimize the clinical management of patients with head trauma in LMIC settings.,
