  Effect of Local Application of Phenytoin on Wound Healing in Surgical Wounds: A Scientific Review

  By Richa Jaiman, Bhavana Verma, Abhishek Pankaj

  Abstract: Surgical wound healing is a dynamic biological process influenced by local tissue response, vascularity, infection control, and systemic patient factors. Delayed wound healing contributes significantly to postoperative morbidity and healthcare costs. Phenytoin, a hydantoin derivative traditionally used as an antiepileptic agent, has demonstrated unexpected wound-healing properties when applied topically. This review critically evaluates experimental and clinical evidence regarding the role of locally applied phenytoin in enhancing wound healing in surgical …

  Impact of Spinal Cord Injury on Body Composition and Weight

  By Gurmeet Singh Sarla, Nirmal Pandey

  Abstract: Weight gain is a common consequence of spinal cord injury (SCI), often resulting from decreased physical activity, metabolic alterations, and changes in body composition. This study aimed to assess post-injury weight changes among individuals with SCI. Data was obtained using a multistage random sampling method, utilizing a patient questionnaire administered to 28 individuals diagnosed with SCI. Participants’ baseline weights were compared with their recorded weights at follow-up. The mean initial …

  Advances in Simulation and Surgical Skill Training Evolution: Narrative Integrative Review

  By Shekhar Srivastava, Shahid Hassan, Rokib Hasan Morad, Swati Srivastava, Siddhartha Chandel, Sharique Ahmad

  Abstract: Simulation-based education has emerged as a cornerstone of contemporary general surgery training, driven by increasing emphasis on patient safety, competency-based education, and rapid technological innovation. Traditional apprenticeship models, while foundational, are constrained by reduced operative exposure, work-hour limitations, and variability in clinical case mix. In this context, simulation provides a structured, reproducible, and safe environment for acquisition, assessment, and refinement of surgical skills across the training continuum. This narrative review …

  Impact on Mobility and Mortality in Minimally Invasive Surgeries

  By Kaisar A. Bhat, Sheezan Shafi, Mercy I. Deo

  Abstract: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) presents numerous advantages such as fewer complications, shorter hospital admissions, and reduced patient discomfort. This surgical method has progressed significantly, with laparoscopy being one of its earliest applications. Laparoscopy involves the insertion of miniature cameras and instruments through small incisions. Robotic-assisted surgery, another form of MIS, enhances surgical precision and offers a three-dimensional view. With technological developments, MIS has gained widespread acceptance among both surgeons and …

  A Systematic Review on Coronary Heart Disease: A Transient Ischemic Stroke

  By Manish Sharma, Ashish Kushwaha, Arun Maurya, Lalit Bisht

  Abstract: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) are significant cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders that often share similar risk factors and underlying pathophysiological processes. CHD involves the narrowing or obstruction of the coronary arteries due to atherosclerosis, resulting in diminished blood flow to the heart. A transient ischemic attack (TIA), often called a "mini stroke," occurs when blood flow to the brain is briefly disrupted, usually due to a …
