The Incidence of Early Postoperative Complications Following Modified Radical Mastectomy in Breast Cancer Patients.

Introduction Breast cancer is considered the most common malignant tumor in women, and incidence rates have risen progressively over the last decades. Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) is an effective treatment option. This research sought to establish the frequency, causes, and distribution of postoperative complications that are associated with MRM in the Pakistani population suffering from breast cancer.

Major individual and regional variations in unit entrainment by oscillations of different frequencies.

In vitro studies have shown that a neuron's electroresponsive properties can predispose it to oscillate at specific frequencies. In contrast, network activity in vivo can entrain neurons to rhythms that their biophysical properties do not predispose them to favor. However, there is limited information on the comparative frequency profile of unit entrainment across brain regions.

Baclofinding solutions: Baclofen-induced encephalopathy in a peritoneal dialysis patient.

Baclofen is a gamma-aminobutyric acid agonist that is commonly and widely used for the treatment of muscle spasticity. Given its predominant kidney excretion, patients with reduced kidney function are at particular risk of drug accumulation and toxicity, with neurotoxicity in the form of drowsiness, encephalopathy, seizures, and coma being the most reported clinical features. In addition to the importance of early identification of baclofen toxicity and drug discontinuation, dialysis can effectively accelerate baclofen elimination given its small molecule weight, and the relatively low volume of distribution and weak protein binding.

Chronic artificial light exposure in daytime and reversed light: Dark cycle inhibit anti-apoptotic cytokines and defect Bcl-2 in peripheral lymphoid tissues during acute systemic inflammatory response to lipopolysaccharide.

Aims: The disturbed light: dark (LD) cycle has been associated with critical complications, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. In the present study, we investigated the chronic effects of artificial light at daytime (AL) and light at night (RAL) after intraperitoneal (i.p.
