Early surgical menopause and its correlates: A case series from a tertiary healthcare institute in a tribal area of Jharkhand, India.

In India, unjustified and mass hysterectomy is an alarming issue in rural and semi-urban areas. Fear of cancer and reiterating the idea that uterus removal will alleviate unrelated somatic issues are two methods used to persuade women to have the surgery. It becomes easier to counsel them for hysterectomy, especially when they belong to the rural population, come from lower socioeconomic strata, are young and illiterate, and do nothing for their livelihood.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Soft Tissue Injury in Open Musculoskeletal Trauma: A Prospective Study.

Background Non-union, chronic pain, functional disability, and infection are all things that have been associated with open fractures with severe soft tissue damage leading to the need for additional hospitalization, and sometimes even subsequent surgeries and weeks or months of rehabilitation.
