A total of 78 cases with thyroid diseases were treated surgically in the Department of ENTD, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital during the period from 2000-2001. The different types of surgery were done according to the diagnosis being presented here. Out of 78 cases, 60 (76.9%) were female and 18 (23.1%) were male having female to male ratio of 3.3:1. The highest number, 47 cases (60.3%) belongs to 21-40 year age group. The study revealed the incidence of thyroid diseases as follows: 53 (67.9%) Benign cold single nodular goitre. 17(21.8%) Benign cold multinodular goitre and 08 (10.3%) Papillary carcinoma of thyroid. Regarding surgical management 40 (51.3%) patients underwent hemithyroidectomy. Lobectomy were done for 13 (16.7%), subtotal thyroidectomy for 15 (19.2%), total thyroidectomy for 5 (6.4%) patients and total thyroidectomy with functional neck dissection were performed for 5 (6.4%) patients. The study showed that females were the mostly affected group having benign single cold nodular goitre who were treated surgically by hemithyroidectomy.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic affected healthcare systems worldwide, disrupting elective surgeries including those for cancer treatment. This study examines the effects of the pandemic on outcomes of pancreatic cancer surgeries at a specialized high-volume surgery center.
Materials And Methods: This study compared surgical volume and outcomes of pancreas resections between the pre-pandemic (January 2019 to February 2020), early pandemic (March 2020 to January 2021), and late pandemic (February 2021 to December 2021) periods.
Comparison of Pharmacokinetics of Long-Acting Local Analgesics: CPL-01, a Novel Extended-Release Ropivacaine, Demonstrates Consistent and Predictable Exposure Compared with Liposomal Bupivacaine.

Background And Objective: There is a significant medical need for improved long-acting local anesthetics to decrease postsurgical pain and reduce postoperative opioid use. While ropivacaine is considered a safer local anesthetic than bupivacaine, no long-acting ropivacaine formulation is currently marketed. Available formulations of bupivacaine show inconsistent pharmacokinetics (PK) among different surgical models, and inconsistency in PK may lead to a reluctance to use the medication owing to fear of local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) or unreliable efficacy.

Purpose: Acute appendicitis (AA) is the leading cause of acute abdomen worldwide, with an incidence of 90-100 cases per 100,000 individuals annually and a lifetime risk of 7-12%. Despite its prevalence, historical accounts of AA are limited, particularly when compared to conditions like haemorrhoids, likely due to the appendix's internal location. This article traces the historical evolution of AA treatment from ancient times to the present, highlighting key contributions.
