The current study was conducted with the objective of assessing Oestrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) status of carcinoma breast for correlation with age of the patient, tumor dimension, axillary lymph node metastasis and histologic grade. \u0000Methodology: One hundred and nineteen female breast cancer patients operated at the surgical oncology department of National Institute of Cancer Research & Hospital were selected by non-probability sampling method and operated specimens were sent for immunohistochemical study of the Oestrogen receptor and progesterone receptors. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 12 for Windows software. P-value 0.05 or less was considered as significant. \u0000Result: Mean age of the patients was 41.64 years (95 % Cl 39.8, 43.5). About 87% of the ER+ and PR+ patients had tumour dimension < 5 cm. The predominant morphology was infiltrating duct cell carcinoma. Out of 66 ER+ cases 63 were the patients of Infiltrating duct cell carcinoma and in 63 PR+ cases 60 were the patients of same histological type. The majority of the cases presented as grade II (59.1%) followed by grade Ill (33.9%). Sixty percent patients had axillary lymph node metastasis.

Because further trials are necessary and few such studies have been performed in developing countries, we decided to evaluate the outcomes of the 2 procedures to share our experience with others. \u0000Methods: Prospectively collected data from 618 consecutive patients with appendicitis were studied. These comprised of 340 patients who underwent conventional open appendectomy and 260 patients treated laparoscoplcally&18 were excluded because of protocol violations. The two groups were compared with respect to operative time, length of hospital stay, postoperative pain, return to normal work, complication rate and cost. \u0000Results: There were no statistical differences regarding patient characteristics between the two groups. Conversion to laparotomy was necessary in 5 patients (1.88%). Laparoscopic appendectomy was associated with a shorter hospital stay (1.5 d vs 2.5 d), lower incidence of wound infection (3.07% vs 8.29%,) &less analgesia requirement. The operative time was more (45.6 vs 24.5 min) and the cost of treatment was higher in the laparoscopic group. \u0000Conclusion: The laparoscopic technique is a safe and clinically beneficial operative procedure. It provides certain advantages over open appendectomy, ·including short hospital stay, decreased requirement .of postoperative analgesia, early food tolerance, and earlier return to normal activities, Where feasible, laparoscopy should be undertaken as the initial procedure of choice for most cases of appendicitis. \u0000Journal of Surgical Sciences (2013) Vol. 17 (1) : 7-13","PeriodicalId":33248,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgical Sciences","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81052714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an overview and outcome after surgery in breast cancer patients on the topic ranging from descriptive findings to clinical trials. \u0000Methods: This is a bibliographic review of the literature covering publications that appeared in English language in biomedical journals between 1992 and 2013. The search strategy included a combination of key words 'quality of life' and 'breast cancer', 'breast carcinoma' or post mastectomy in Titles. Of these, research articles like randomized controlled trials, reviews, abstracts, editorials, brief commentaries, letters were included. The major findings are summarized and presented under several headings: instruments used, validation studies, measurement issues, surgical treatment, quality of life as predictor of survival, psychological distress, supportive care, symptoms and sexual functioning. \u0000Results: Instruments-Several valid instruments were used to measure quality of life in breast cancer patients. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) and its breast cancer specific complementary measure (EORTC QLQ-BR23) were listed in this study, as it is a common, highly standard and well developed instruments to measure quality of life in breast cancer patients. Different surgical procedures led to relatively similar results in terms of quality of life assessments, although mastectomy patients compared to conserving surgery patients usually reported a lower body image and sexual functioning. Systemic therapies-almost all studies indicated that breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy might experience several side-effects and symptoms that negatively affect their quality of life. Adjuvant hormonal therapies also were found to have similar negative impact on quality of life, although in general they were associated with improved survival. Quality of life as predictor of survival-similar to known medical factors, quality of life data in metastatic breast cancer patients were found to be prognostic and predictive of survival time. Psychological distress-anxiety and depression were found to be common among breast cancer patients even years after the disease diagnosis and treatment. Psychological factors also were found to predict subsequent quality of life or even overall survival in breast cancer patients. As recommended, recognition and management of these symptoms is an important issue since such symptoms impair health-related quality of life. Sexual functioning-breast cancer patients especially younger patients suffer from poor sexual functioning that negatively affect quality of life. \u0000Conclusion: There was quite an extensive body of the literature on quality of life in breast cancer patients.

Proper understanding of this will help both surgeon and microbiologist to formulate an effective guideline to combat overall SSI. \u0000Objectives: To evaluate responsible microorganisms and their resistance pattern causing ISSI following elective gastrointestinal surgery in our perspective. Methods: Prospective data were collected on 1122 surgical patients admitted in the surgery department in BSMMU from January 201 O to June 2012 having elective gastrointestinal surgery. Patients operated were followed in the post operative period till discharge and if any ISSI noted, swab from the site of infection was sent for culture and sensitivity reporting using standard bacteriological techniques. Antibiotics were given accordingly. \u0000Results: In this series 1122 wounds were studied of which183(16.31%) cases had ISSI.Wound infection rates, according to clinical wound types were 10.45%, 14.49%, 49% for clean-contaminated,contaminated and dirty wounds respectively. The figures of ISSI according to SSI types were 76.77% for Superficial SSI and 26.23% for Deep SSI.The figures of ISSI according to SSI types were 76.77% for Superficial SSI and 26.23% for Deep SSI. Causative microorganisms were revealed in 74.87% positive cultures. 5.8% wounds had polymicrobial etiology. The common causative organisms were Escherichia coli 55.5%,Staphylococcus aureus 22.6%, Pseudomonas spp. 9.5% and Klebsiella spp. 6.6%.AII were 100% sensitive to Meropenem.
