Introduction: Chemotherapy, postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (pcRPLND), and metastasectomy remain the standard of care for the management of advanced nonseminomatous germ cell tumor (NSGCT).
Methods: We retrospectively studied 73 patients who had pcRPLND at a single tertiary-care center (2003-2022). Surgical and clinicopathological features and oncological outcomes are presented.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine if low-dose tadalafil (5 mg) was more effective than tamsulosin (0.4 mg) in helping patients expel kidney stones after extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy.
- - It was a rigorous trial involving 250 patients, who were split evenly to receive either medication for up to 30 days, assessing the rate of stone expulsion and the time taken for this process.
- - The results showed no significant difference in stone expulsion rates or time to expulsion between the two medications, and tadalafil had a higher discontinuation rate due to side effects, indicating it is not superior to tamsulosin.
Diarrhoea and water-borne diseases are leading causes of mortality in developing countries. To understand the socio-cultural factors impacting on water safety, we documented knowledge, attitudes and practices of water handling and usage, sanitation and defecation in rural Tamilnadu, India, using questionnaires and focus group discussions, in a village divided into an upper caste Main village and a lower caste Harijan colony. Our survey showed that all households stored drinking water in wide-mouthed containers.
