Effect of Mastectomy Flap Fixation on Post-operative Fluid Drainage and Seroma Formation in Breast Cancer Patients A Double-blinded Randomised Control Trial.

<b> Introduction:</b> Post-operative seroma formation is one of the most common complications following modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Quilting is a technique where the mastectomy flaps are sutured to the underlying chest wall muscles with sutures, obliterating the dead space. The authors hypothesised that post-mastectomy dead space obliteration by intermittent mastectomy flap fixation leads to decreased drain output and seroma formation.

Role of intra-abdominal pressure measurement in patients with acute abdomen requiring exploratory laparotomy.

<b>Introduction:</b> Acute abdomen is one of the most common surgical emergencies faced by a surgeon. Monitoring Intra-Abdominal Pressure (IAP) in patients with acute abdomen referred for exploratory laparotomy may help guide the need for early intervention. </br></br> <b>Aim:</b> This study was performed to determine whether preoperative IAP had any significant association with organ failure as assessed using SOFA score.

Silk Hydrogel for Tissue Engineering: A Review.

Aim: This review aims to explore the importance of silk hydrogel and its potential in tissue engineering (TE).

Background: Tissue engineering is a procedure that incorporates cells into the scaffold materials with suitable growth factors to regenerate injured tissue. For tissue formation in TE, the scaffold material plays a key role.

Evaluation of risk factors for prognosticating blunt trauma chest.

<b>Introduction:</b> Blunt trauma chest contributes to significant number of trauma admissions globally and is a cause of major morbidity and mortality. Many scoring systems and risk factors have been defined in past for prognosticating blunt trauma chest but, none is considered to be gold standard. </br> <b>Aim:</b> This study was conducted to reassess the significance of available scoring systems and others indicators of severity in prognosticating blunt trauma chest patients.
