Utilizing circulation-derived cancer cells to evaluate patients with surgically treated stages I–IIIA NSCLC throughout the preoperative phase
Abstract: Context: When a tumor is considered resectable, surgery is viewed as the primary treatment approach for both early-stage and locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). One of the most exciting areas of cancer research in the past ten years is liquid biopsy, which offers a practical non-invasive method for cancer detection and tracking. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been linked to a worse prognosis and increased chance of relapse …

Evaluation of Rational Use of Antibiotics and Incidence of Surgical Site Infections in a Tertiary Care Hospital
Abstract: Context: Antimicrobial resistance is a major health issue nowadays. It can be reduced by framing, educating health care professionals, strictly following and reviewing the guidelines for antibiotics usage. Many hospitals are not following standard guidelines for antibiotics usage which has led to overuse of antibiotics which contributes for the emergence of resistant strains of microbes against antibiotics. Antibiotics are used pre-operatively to reduce the risk of surgical site infections. The …

A Short-term Evaluation of Limb Reconstruction System as a Primary and Definitive Mode of Management in Fresh Open Fracture in Both Bones of Leg
Abstract: Open fractures require immediate surgical intervention, emphasizing prompt intravenous antibiotic therapy, irrigation, and debridement to minimize infection risks. The Limb Reconstruction System (LRS), which includes Shanz pins, rail rods, and sliding clamps, operates as a single-plane, one-sided rail system. This system provides strong fracture fixation, allows for early weight-bearing, and helps minimize costs. Challenges arise in tibial open fractures due to substantial soft tissue damage and bone loss, often resulting …
