Background: Breast cancer remains the most common invasive cancer in women worldwide. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype with limited treatment options. Trastuzumab (Tz) is typically used to treat HER2-positive breast cancers, but its potential in TNBC is unclear.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Enucleation and exenteration are widely utilized ophthalmic procedures in veterinary practice, involving the complete removal of the eye and comprehensive extraction of orbital contents, respectively. These procedures are indicated for pain relief, excision, and management of neoplasia metastases, and addressing severe medically untreatable conditions.
Aim: This study aimed to develop an orbital enucleation surgical approach.
Article Synopsis
- As of July 2024, there were over 775 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and more than 7 million deaths globally, despite over 13.5 billion vaccine doses administered.
- The relationship between vitamin D levels and COVID-19 severity is significant, with vitamin D deficiency linked to worse outcomes and immune dysfunction in severely ill patients.
- Research highlights the potential therapeutic role of vitamin D in enhancing the efficacy of antiviral treatments, but conclusive evidence is still lacking, necessitating large-scale randomized trials for clearer insights.
Article Synopsis
- Enucleation and exenteration are common eye surgeries in veterinary medicine, specifically in camels, and this study introduces a new surgical method using the supraorbital fossa approach.
- Seven camels underwent this technique at King-Faisal Teaching Veterinary Hospital, where the procedure involved sedation, a specific incision, and careful dissection to remove the eye while managing bleeding effectively.
- The results indicated that the new approach was successful, with a mean surgery time of about 46.6 minutes and few complications, suggesting it is a safe and effective option for camel eye surgery, but further research is needed for wider application.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined a new surgical method for removing the eye of horses (enucleation-exenteration) through the supraorbital fossa, using both cadaveric and clinical trials on donkeys.
- A preliminary study on cadaver heads established the surgical anatomy and demonstrated the new approach, while the clinical trials involved eight donkeys undergoing the procedure with no significant complications.
- Results indicated that the supraorbital enucleation technique is feasible and safe, showing positive outcomes in both cadaveric studies and live cases.
