Assessment of Clinicopathological Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients Diagnosed With Locally Advanced Breast Carcinoma.

Introduction Globally, breast carcinoma is the most prevalent carcinoma and the primary cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is a widely used treatment approach for patients with locally advanced breast carcinoma (LABC), as it reduces the size of the tumor, making previously inoperable tumors operable. Studies suggest that patients with LABC achieve a high response rate following NACT.

Analgesic Efficacy Comparison Between Ultrasound-Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block and Retrolaminar Block in Patients Undergoing Modified Radical Mastectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females. Surgery is the gold standard therapy, with modified radical mastectomy (MRM) being the most commonly performed procedure for breast cancer. Management of postoperative pain after MRM poses a clinical challenge and hence receives utmost priority.

Comparison of Intraoperative and Postoperative Outcomes With Skin Flaps Raised Using Either Harmonic Scalpels or Electrocautery During Modified Radical Mastectomy.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women. Hence, its treatment has become our utmost priority in developing countries like India. Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) has traditionally been used as the standard of care for early-stage invasive breast carcinoma and still is the most commonly used surgical treatment for carcinoma breast.

Comparison of Analgesic Efficacy of Ultrasound Guided PEC II Block Using Dexamethasone as an Adjuvant to Ropivacaine Versus Plain Ropivacaine in Patients Undergoing Modified Radical Mastectomy: A Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction:  Pain after breast cancer surgery is one of the main reasons for postoperative morbidity and pulmonary complications leading to increased hospital stay. Therefore, effective management of postoperative pain becomes necessary to alleviate patients' suffering and allow early mobilization and hospital discharge. Traditionally, opioids have been used to manage perioperative pain but they are associated with side effects.

Primary Cutaneous Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Of The Chest Wall With Axillary Lymph Node Metastases And Its Management: A Case Report.

Primary cutaneous adenoid cystic carcinoma (PCACC) is a rare form of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) arising commonly from the salivary gland. Less often they originate outside the head and neck region, with the scalp being the commonest cutaneous site in 40% of the cases. The presentation on the chest wall is rare, with no reports to date on axillary lymph node metastases.

Subcutaneous Cyst Due to a Novel Fungus, Aquastroma magniostiolata: A Case Report.

Various kinds of fungal agents have been observed in the environment. Fungi can enter the human body by penetration following trauma and are responsible for various types of subcutaneous mycotic lesions. In this case report, we present the case of a 47-year-old female patient who presented with swelling on the lateral aspect of the left lower leg above the lateral malleolus.

Familial Occurrence of Thyroglossal Duct Cyst.

Thyroglossal duct cysts are one of the commonest benign midline neck swellings. These are the remnants of the embryologic duct that fails to regress by the 10th week of fetal development. Generally, these are sporadic, slowly enlarging midline neck lumps, with half of them presenting before the age of 30.

Incidental intraoperative diagnosis of retained foreign body lung misdiagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis.

Tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a very common and lethal problem among children. It can easily be diagnosed with a typical history of choking crisis. Clinical examination and radiology play a secondary role in diagnosis.

Feasibility and safety of ultrasound-guided nerve block for management of limb injuries by emergency care physicians.

Background: Patients require procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) for the treatment of acute traumatic injuries. PSA has complications. Ultrasound (US) guided peripheral nerve block is a safe alternative.

Surgical treatment for tracheobronchial carcinoid tumors: a 16-year experience.

We conducted a 16-year retrospective review of 31 cases of tracheobronchial carcinoid tumors treated in our institution between 1995 and 2011, to determine their characteristic features and outcome of management. There were 12 men and 19 women. The most common presenting symptoms were cough and hemoptysis (71%) with a mean duration of 4 years.

Diagnostic accuracy of bedside emergency ultrasound screening for fractures in pediatric trauma patients.

Background: Bedside ultrasound (BUS) can effectively identify fractures in the emergency department (ED).

Aim: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of BUS for fractures in pediatric trauma patients.

Setting And Design: Prospective observational study conducted in the ED.
