OBJECTIVE To quantify incidence, age distribution, and seasonality of neonatal hypothermia among a large population cohort. DESIGN Longitudinal cohort study. SETTING Sarlahi, Nepal. PARTICIPANTS A total of 23 240 newborns born between September 2, 2002, and February 1, 2006.

Supporting weight on the upper support of crutches is not recommended because it can lead to axillary nerve damage. Despite this warning, improper axillary loadings may still occur because of a lack of arm strength or fatigue. It is generally accepted that improper use of conventional axillary crutches contributes to axillary nerve damage, but surprisingly there are no studies characterizing ax...

background: axillary nodal spread is an established prognostic factor in breast cancer. axillary nodal dissection and subsequent pathological examination is considered the gold standard technique of assessing the axilla for metastatic disease. a minimum of ten level i axillary nodes are required to be examined before an axillary specimen can be reliably labeled as disease free. this recommendat...

background : invasive ductal carcinoma is one of the most common type of tumors in females, constituting a single large group of breast cancers. there are various prognostic factors, of which tumor grade, size and axillary lymph node metastasis are among the important ones. fine needle aspiration cytology is a commonly used diagnostic technique in the initial evaluation of breast lumps. in the ...

BACKGROUND For patients with early breast cancer and lymph node metastasis, axillary treatment is widely recommended. This is either surgical removal of the axillary lymph nodes, or axillary radiotherapy. The rationale for axillary treatment is that it will reduce the risk of recurrence in the axilla, and may improve survival. However, both treatments are associated with adverse effects, such a...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of nimesulide and paracetamol as antipyretic agents. DESIGN Double blind, randomized clinical trial. METHODS Hospitalized patients having fever due to a variety of infections were given either drug in a randomized manner. (Nimesulide group = 49, Paracetamol group = 50). Serial axillary temperature was recorded after drug administration and side e...

Hyperthermia is relatively common in inpatients, but hyperthermia occurring in the immediate postoperative period after undergoing neurosurgery has some unique characteristics. This case report concerns a patient who developed immediate postoperative hyperthermia up to 39.3°C (the axillary temperature) in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) after resection of a seminoma from the thalamus and t...

The endangered medicinal plant Eryngium maritimum L. faces significant natural and anthropogenic threats. Therefore, in vitro propagation is recommended for both conservation commercial purposes. aim of the study was to develop a series protocols seed disinfection, multiplication rooting, ex field adaptation. For explant length temperature three consecutive disinfectants were investigated. Macr...

Axillary hyperhidrosis results from excessive sweat production in the armpits. It adversely impacts a patient’s quality of life. In this update, we attempt to discuss basics, pathophysiology, and management axillary hyperhidrosis.
