Prospective Study to Evaluate Efficacy of Single Versus Double Drains in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Surgery.

Seroma formation is a common sequel following modified radical mastectomy (MRM), which hinders healing, may prolong hospital stay, and cause a delay in adjuvant treatment. Closed suction drains have been used to prevent formation of seroma; however, the use of a single drain in the axilla along with draining the mastectomy flaps and axilla separately remains a topic of debate. This prospective randomized dual-arm study was conducted in the Department of Endocrine Surgery.

Intracranial Microhemorrhages in a Patient With Tubercular Meningitis (TBM): A Case Report.

Intracranial tuberculosis (TB) is the most serious form of systemic TB and constitutes an important cause of morbidity and mortality in underdeveloped countries. Central nervous system TB is a difficult diagnosis to make, and treat, especially in the developing nations. Intracranial hemorrhage is one of the rare complications of intracranial TB.

Expanded Dengue Syndrome Presenting as Intracranial Hemorrhage, Fever, and Rhabdomyolysis: A Case Report.

Rare clinical manifestations of dengue are included under the expanded dengue syndrome (EDS), with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) being one of them. We discuss an uncommon presentation of dengue with basal ganglia hemorrhage, hyperthermia, and rhabdomyolysis in a 53-year-old hypertensive female who presented with sudden onset syncope, left-sided weakness, and altered sensorium for days, with high-grade fever and vomiting. The Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score was 5, and the patient was intubated.
