Palliative surgery as a bridge to systemic treatment for malignant bowel obstruction due to peritoneal metastases: A retrospective, case-control study.

Background: High-quality data on palliative surgery in patients with malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) caused by peritoneal metastases (PM) are lacking. We aimed to determine the utility of palliative surgery for such patients.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients considered for surgery for MBO, caused by PM, in our department from January 2019 to October 2020.

A case of caecal "PECOMA": An uncommon entity.

Introduction And Importance: World Health Organization (WHO) defines PEComa as a mesenchymal tumor composed of histologically and immunohistochemically distinctive perivascular epithelioid cells. The symptoms and clinical signs of PEComa patients are nonspecific. Hence, diagnosis is usually difficult.

An unusual case of neutrocytic, culture-negative meningitis in an immunocompetent adult.

Patient presenting with fever, acute onset seizure and neck stiffness on examination; deteriorating despite initiation of early treatment for meningitis.

Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Tenecteplase Bolus in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Results of Two Open-Label, Multicenter Trials.

Background: Tenecteplase (TNK-tPA) is a promising third-generation plasminogen activator, because of its greater fibrin specificity and longer half-life than alteplase. There is a paucity of studies on intravenous thrombolysis using TNK-tPA in developing countries. The present study has been undertaken to compare the efficacy and safety of TNK-tPA with alteplase.
