A Study of Comparison and Evaluation of Various Intralesional Therapies in Cutaneous Warts.

Background: The study compares the efficacy of four immunotherapeutic agents, measles mumps and rubella (MMR), purified protein derivative (PPD), extract, and vitamin D3, in the treatment of multiple cutaneous warts.

Aim And Objectives: To observe the clinical responses and safety of different intralesional immunotherapeutic agents and compare their efficacy.

Materials And Methods: Hundred patients with multiple (>5) cutaneous warts were enrolled in the study and randomized into four groups: Group A: MMR, Group B: PPD, Group C: extract, and Group D: Vitamin D.

Carotid Endarterectomy Versus Stenting for the Treatment of Patients With Carotid Artery Stenosis: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a surgical procedure that treats the narrowed carotid arteries, which may be narrowed by atherosclerosis. Stenting is the insertion of a wire mesh scaffold into the narrowed portion of the carotid artery to keep it open by preventing blood from clotting. Using the study done over 10 years back as a point of reference, this study will seek an update on an assessment comparing CEA and stenting in studies carried out between 2015 and to date.
