Colorectal Cancer: Postoperative Follow-up and Surveillance.

Follow-up and surveillance form an important aspect of care in patients with colorectal cancers (CRC). Most recurrences will occur within 2 years of surgery and 90% by 5 years. Follow up protocols have not been well defined in stage I disease and the approach should be individualized.

Clinico-pathological factors affecting lymph node yield in Indian patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of mandibular Gingivo-Buccal sulcus.

Aim: Lymph node yield (LNY) is a valid marker of prognosis in oral cancer. Precise estimation of LNY in Indian patients with T3/T4 gingivobuccal sulcus squamous cell carcinoma (GBS-SCC) has not been well documented. Hence, the primary objective of the study was to determine the LNY in patients with T3/T4 SCC of mandibular GBS, and the secondary objective was to study the association of LNY with clinicopathological factors such as tumor thickness, histological differentiation, number of positive nodes, and extracapsular spread (ECS).

Efficacy of topical sucralfate vERSUs silver sulfadiazine in the management of burns: A 1-year randomized controlled trial.

Background: Several medications and topical agents have been used for burn injuries. Among them, 1% silver sulfadiazine is the most commonly used topical agent for partial thickness burns. Recent studies have reported that the healing of burns is delayed by silver sulfadiazine.

Efficacy of low level laser therapy on wound healing in patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers-a randomised control trial.

Unlabelled: Foot ulcers are serious complications of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and are known to be resistant to conventional treatment. They may herald severe complications if not treated wisely. Electromagnetic radiations in the form of photons are delivered to the ulcers in laser form to stimulate healing.

A cross-sectional study to detect the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia in cases of deep vein thrombosis.

Hyperhomocysteinemia is a known risk factor for the development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Various studies have been conducted in the western countries to know the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia in patients with DVT and in general population. There is no documented literature of the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia in Indian population.
