The second most prevalent cause of mortality among women is breast cancer, and paclitaxel (PTX) is an effective drug for its treatment. The present work aims to develop patch-based poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers incorporating PTX as a localized and sustained drug delivery system. The co-deposition of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) fibers during electrospinning was allowed to improve water absorption by the scaffold, which in turn facilitated the release of drug molecules.

The study provides an in-depth analysis of the distribution's statistical properties. These properties include a variety of statistical measures such as the probability density function, cumulative distribution function, failure rate, survival function, reverse hazard function, Mills ratio, mean residual life, mean past life, moments, conditional moments, characteristic function, order statistics, entropy measures, likelihood ratio test and Lorenz and Bonferroni curves.

- A study conducted at Dr. Khuroo's Medical Clinic in Kashmir identified 12 cases of Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) among 110 patients, primarily affecting middle-aged individuals with a history of abdominal pain, highlighting liver involvement.
- The tumors observed in patients showed significant invasion into nearby structures and were characterized by specific histological features typical of AE.
- Treatment varied, with some patients undergoing surgery or being treated with chemotherapy, resulting in clinical improvements, though follow-up imaging revealed persistent disease in some cases.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of transdermal Fentanyl patch with oral Ketorolac for pain management in dry socket patients.
Study Design: Sixty patients who were diagnosed with dry socket (VAS > 40 mm) were recruited in this prospective randomized controlled trial. Patients were divided into two groups.
