Background: The use of chemotherapy in advanced metastatic breast cancer remains a subject of controversy. The thought of MicKinnon et al (early 1950s) that the course of breast cancer was unaffected by chemotherapy has been refuted by results of treatment in the developed countries. The poor result of treatment in developing centres still compares with prechemotherapy era.

Methods: Symptomatic grades 1, 2 or 3 internal and mixed haemorroids were treated.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between the histological findings of excised appendices and intra-operative observations during open appendectomy, focusing on cases of uncomplicated appendicitis.
- Results show that the presence and condition of the greater omentum and peritoneal exudates can predict the histological state of the appendix, with high positive predictive values indicating a reliable connection between visible inflammation and acute appendicitis.
- The findings suggest that the macroscopic assessment of the appendix during surgery can significantly inform the need for further exploration or intervention.
Article Synopsis
- The study challenges the common practice of withholding pain relief in acute abdomen cases by showing that administering Tramal improves pain management without hindering diagnosis.
- Patients receiving Tramal experienced significantly better pain relief and had more accurate clinical findings compared to those given a placebo.
- The results suggest that using preoperative analgesia like Tramal can enhance clinical decision-making positively, ultimately benefiting patient care.
Background: Wire localization for planned surgical treatment in the management of breast cancer is underutilized in our environment. The objective of this study is to assess the role of ultrasound-guided wire localization of breast masses detected on screening mammography and its impact on biopsy and breast conservative surgery in our environment.
Materials And Methods: A prospective study of 189 women who presented for screening mammography following a health campaign on breast cancer within a six-month period.
