The Bambusoideae in India: An Updated Enumeration
Authors: Kumari Pushpa
Published: March 2019

Bamboo a giant, fast-growing, wood like grass appears to be the most successful and diverse conspicuous group of plants belonging to the sub family Bambusoideae of Poaceae. Bamboos have strong adaptability and are distributed widely in varied habitats. They are one of the earth’s oldest and most precious plant materials and have benefited human societies since time immemorial. They form an important group of plants that play a vital role in the economy and life of the people in many Asian, African and American countries. Bamboos play a key role in the rural economy of India. Due to the special physical characteristics attributed to bamboo, it has a glorious past and a promising future as part of the solution to 21st century challenges. Globally, bamboo is being targeted for livelihood development and alleviation of both environment and social problems in such a way that it can rightly be called the plant of the century.

Taxonomically, bamboos are considered as one of the most difficult group of plants to identify. Despite of immense resources, its importance and species specific uses, taxonomy of Indian Bamboos is still incomplete. Many of the Indian species lack full description and are either partially known or misidentified due to lack of subject expertise. Different workers treat species differently which has resulted into ambiguous report of generic and infrageneric taxa. An updated account of the bamboos found or reported from India is presented here after an extensive taxonomic study of these valuable natural resources of our country.
The Rate of Asymptomatic Bacteriuria is Similar in Term and Preterm Delivery
Authors: Amelia Riska
Published: March 2019

Objectives: To show the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women and to find its correlation with preterm labor.

Methods: This research was performed in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. A total of 78 subjects joined this research. The first group consisted of 39 subjects that were having preterm delivery and the second group consisted of 39 subjects that were having term delivery. Urine analysis and culture were done in

both groups. The subject was being considered to have asymptomatic bacteriuria if the urine culture showed a minimum of 100,000 bacteria/ml without any symptoms or signs of urinary tract infection. The number was then analyzed to reveal the correlation of asymptomatic bacteriuria with preterm delivery.

Results: There were a significantly higher number of preterm deliveries in subjects whose age ranged between 15-19 year-old (28.20% vs 12.8%; p=0.033). While on the contrary, there was a significantly lower number of preterm delivery in subjects whose age ranged between 30-34 year-old (25.6% vs 5.12%; p=0.020).The incidence

number of asymptomatic bacteriuria among all subjects is 21.79%. There was no significant difference of asymptomatic bacteriuria between preterm and a term delivery (23.07% vs 20.51%; p=0.784).

Conclusions: There was no significant difference of asymptomatic bacteriuria between the subject with preterm delivery and term delivery, but the incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women in this study was quite high, reaching eight times higher than those stated in other study. Thus, routine urine culture screening

policy in early pregnancy still cannot be omitted, considering that asymptomatic bacteriuria can lead to pyelonephritis which can cause maternal and fetal morbidity.

Un nationalisme tourné vers l’Amérique et les colonies : l’exportation du « Roman canadien » des éditions Édouard Garand
Authors: Constant Marie-Hélène , Loranger Caroline
Published: March 2019

En 1923, Édouard Garand fonde à Montréal une maison d’édition destinée à promouvoir la littérature canadienne au sein de la classe populaire et francophone à travers le pays. Gérard Malchelosse, membre du comité éditorial, témoigne à l’époque de l’ancrage nationaliste des éditions : il s’agit d’« une édition canadienne de romans canadiens, écrits pour des Canadiens par des Canadiens et imprimés au Canada par des Canadiens. C’est une entreprise nationale destinée à fournir un stimulant de patriotisme, tout en aidant les auteurs de chez nous en propageant leurs ouvrages ». Bien que ces affirmations pourraient laisser croire que les éditions Édouard Garand s’adressent exclusivement à un public local à même de partager leurs préoccupations, l’étude de la distribution de la collection « Le Roman canadien » nous informe sur des réseaux commerciaux de distribution particulièrement étendus : au premier plan de ce rayonnement extérieur se trouvent les villes des colonies françaises et britanniques, ainsi que l’Amérique, depuis New York jusqu’à Buenos Aires.L’article propose l’étude de ces réseaux en regard de leurs positionnements coloniaux, politiques et marchands, tout en mettant en contexte ce rayonnement par rapport aux activités d’exportation de livres canadiens de l’époque. L’étude des documents constituant le Fonds Édouard-Garand (Université de Montréal) permet de constater la mise en place de deux réseaux distincts. Dès 1926, on annonce que les romans canadiens sont vendus dans des points de dépôt en France, en Grande-Bretagne, mais aussi, de manière plus surprenante, à Saigon, à Alger et au Cap. L’éditeur semble alors exploiter les réseaux marchands de comptoirs coloniaux français et britanniques pour participer à la diffusion, au sein de différentes librairies francophones, de la littérature canadienne outremer. Puis, à partir de 1944, alors que la France est encore sous l’Occupation, Montréal devient la plaque tournante de l’édition francophone mondiale, et Garand en profite pour ouvrir de nouveaux réseaux de distribution vers l’Amérique latine, convoquant un ensemble de relations diplomatiques et politiques canadiennes. Le roman canadien vise alors notamment les dépositaires en Argentine, au Chili, en Colombie, à Cuba et au Pérou, par le biais des représentants commerciaux et des fonctionnaires du Ministère des Affaires extérieures du Canada. Cette entreprise ne vise toutefois pas, chez l’éditeur, une inscription dans des réseaux d’échanges intellectuels et culturels suivant l’axe nord-sud, étudiés notamment par Michel Lacroix et Michel Nareau. Du côté du commerce, le système mis en place par l’éditeur montréalais touche moins l’économie du savoir que la mise en marché.

Authors: Nifontova O L , Konkova K S
Published: March 2019

Comprehensive anthropometrical examination of 225 schoolchildren of municipal educational institutions of the Surgut district was conducted. The aim of the work was assessment of physical development of high school students constantly living on the territory of Khanty-Mansi autonomous Okrug (KhMAO) - Ugra. Methods. The key anthropometrical indicators: body length and weight, chest circumference were registered according to standard research techniques. Body mass indices, proportionality index and somatotype were calculated to assess children's physical development. Results were analyzed by means of the standard methods of mathematical statistics. All the surveyed were divided into following groups: representatives of indigenous ethnic groups of the North (Khanty) who came for the educational period to boarding schools; metises of the first generation who had one of parents the Khanty's representative; descendants of the alien population. Each group was additionally divided by gender. Results. It was stated that the key anthropometrical indicators in metises had in-between position among experimental groups. Values of body length in metises were closer to those in descendants of the alien population, and body weight and chest circumference - to the indicators of representatives of indigenous ethnic groups of the North. According to body density indices, proportionality of body development and orientation of growth processes metises were more similar to the Khanty's school children. Conclusions. Possibly, adaptation of the alien population of KhMAO - Yugra to climatic factors happened through miscegenation with predominant inheritance of anthropometrical signs of indigenous ethnic groups of the North.

Authors: Russkikh N G , Irzhak L I
Published: March 2019

The Aim: to determine the duration of the ECG intervals of PP, PT, PQ, QT and TP segment in two groups of children of both sexes aged 6-7 years in control and under the influence of an active orthostatic test (AOP n = 20) and test- Martine-Kushelevsky (PM n = 15). Methods. We studied the duration of ECG intervals in the II standard lead before and after the application of orthostatic test and test- Martine-Kushelevsky. Indices after statistical analysis were presented by M ± SD and cardiointervalogramm. Results. During orthostatic test the heart rate increased by 24 %, the duration of the PP interval was down by15 % ( from 0.71 ± 0.1 s in the control to 0.60 ± 0.1 s ) PT - by 4 % (from 0.47 ± 0.03 s to 0.45 ± 0.03 s), QT - by 9 % (from 0.34 ± 0.02 s to 0.31 ± 0.01 s), segment of the TP - from 0.24 ± 0.1 s to 0.15 ± 0.1 s (38 %), and the duration of the PQ interval increased insignificantly by 8% (from 0.13 ± 0.01 s to 0.14 ± 0.01 s). During test- Martine-Kushelevsky, the heart rate increased by 21 %, the remaining indices changed by 17 % (from 0.64 ± 0.1 s to 0.53 ± 0.04 s), 5 % (from 0.44 ± 0.03 s to 0.42 ± 0.03 s), 3 % (0.31 ± 0.01 s to 0.28 ± 0.004 s) and 50 % (from 0.20 ± 0.1 s to 0.10 ± 0.03 s) respectively. The PQ interval remained unchanged. Correlations between the heart rate before and after the samples rs = 0.67 (AOP) and rs = 0.36 (PM), between РР rs = 0.69 (AOP) and rs = 0.26 (PM), between РТ rs = 0.93 (AOP) and rs = 0.74 (PM), between РQ rs = 0.78 (AOP) and rs = 0.67 (PM), between QT rs = 0.83 (AOP) and rs = 0.65 (PM) and between TP rs = 0.56 (AOP) and rs = 0.37 (PM). Conclusions. As a result of the action of two functional tests on the cardiovascular system of children aged 6-7 years, the heart rate increased and the duration of the ECG intervals was shortened. The variability of the indicators was less than in the control. The most significantly changed the parameters of the TP segment.

Published: March 2019

The aim - to show the role of system psyhodiagnostics for multivariate complex study of the influence of psychological and social factors on the occurrence and during of chronic brain ischemia using the biopsychosocial approach. In particular, the mechanisms of psychological adaptation (psychological protection and coping) in persons of the organized population of Petrozavodsk with early stage of chronic brain ischemia (n = 280, average age (53.9 ± 8.1) years, gender index 1:1) have been studied. The control group included healthy individuals (n = 32, average age (52.4 ± 6.5) years, gender index 1:1, p > 0.05). Methods. The following methods were used: the method «Index of life style» by R. Plutchik et al. in the modification of L. I. Wasserman; the standardized test of R. Lazarus in the modification of L.I. Wasserman. Results. It was found out that increase in the total stress index of psychological defense mechanisms in patients with early stage of chronic brain ischemia living in the European North, was typical mainly due to «denial» (63.2 ± 3.7) ‰ , «compensation» (58.9 ± 4.0) ‰ and «projection» (57.4 ± 3.9) ‰. The leading strategies of coping with stress behavior were search for social support (68.89 ± 19.45) % and acceptance of responsibility (69.64 ± 18.63) %. Conclusions. Patients with chronic brain ischemia are characterized by mosaicism of adaptive and maladaptive personality traits of protective behaviour.

Authors: Casas Mallma Angela C.
Published: March 2019

El objetivo de la investigación es demostrar que existe una relación positiva entre el liderazgo pedagógico del director y el desempeño docente en el nivel secundario de la Institución Educativa pública “María Parado de Bellido” del distrito del Rímac, Lima, 2017. El enfoque es cuantitativo, con diseño transeccional, de tipo correlacional. La muestra fue de 280 estudiantes, 44 docentes y 3 directivos a quienes se aplicó una encuesta. La validación se realizó a partir del juicio de expertos, con un resultado de 92%; además se empleó la prueba de Alfa de CronBach, obteniendo 0, 916 de fiabilidad determinándose su consistencia interna con tendencia muy alta. La hipótesis alterna sostiene que existe una relación positiva entre el liderazgo pedagógico del director y el desempeño docente en el nivel secundario de la Institución en estudio. Para la contrastación de hipótesis se utilizó la correlación de Pearson entre las variables de estudio. Como el Valor p = 0.000 < 0.05, se rechaza la hipótesis nula, y se acepta la hipótesis alterna. Por lo tanto ambas variables tienen una correlación directa y alcanza un nivel de 0.897 que corresponde a un nivel correlación positiva alta. Se concluye que a mayor liderazgo pedagógico del director, mayores serán los niveles de desempeño de los docentes. De manera análoga, si en el liderazgo del director no prioriza su rol de líder pedagógico como el centro de su labor, el desempeño de los docentes será deficiente.

Published: March 2019

Aphid (Aphis craccivora Koch) is one of the serious pests of cowpea. Bioefficacy of four insecticides with different concentrations namely Jholmol (125 ml/L), Neemix (2 ml/L), Cannabis extract (100 g/L), Chlorpyrifos 50% EC and Cypermethrin 5% EC (2 ml/L) along with control were evaluated against aphid at Research Station of Agriculture and Forestry University, Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal in 2018. Five treatments; four different insecticides and control were laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The results indicated that all the insecticides were significant for aphid reduction. The effects were higher in Neemix followed by Jholmol and cannabis extract. The yield of cowpea was significantly highest (11.10 t/ha) with Neemix application, while lowest in control (7.58 t/ha). The highest net profit (NRs.61670) was obtained in Neemix followed by treatments of Jholmol (NRs.46175) and Cannabis extract (NRs.35815). The lowest incremental Cost/Benefit ratio was obtained in Neemix (1.341) and followed by treatments of, jholmol (1/1.12) and Cannabis extract (1/0.85), respectively. Thus, application of Neemix @ 2 ml/L could be used in cowpea to control aphid with high yield.

Authors: Yektaseresht Azadeh , Hemati Zahra , Gholamhosseini Amin
Published: March 2019

The immunoglobulins (Igs) were isolated and purified respectively from serum
of Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) and Stellate sturgeon (Acipenser
stellatus) by using 50% saturated ammonium sulfate precipitation. Analysis of the
purified Ig of the two species of fishes on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide
gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) under reducing conditions revealed two bands,
heavy chains and light chains respectively. The molecular weight of the heavy
chains of two fishes was about 70 kD and the molecular weight of the light chains
was 27kD for Siberian sturgeon and 27.5 kD for Stellate sturgeon. The results
suggested that the isolated and purified serum Immunoglobuline in two species of
sturgeons, Siberian sturgeon (A. baerii) and Stellate sturgeon (A. stellatus) can
be used to produce polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against sturgeon Ig for
developing diagnostic tests against a wide variety of pathogens.

beginning of the experiment of 6.5 ± 0.07 g, were supplemented with a celery (Apium graveolens) aqueous methanolic
extract at a dose of 0% (control), 0.1%, 0.5% or 1% over 45 days. Every 15 days,
respiratory burst, lysozyme and myeloperoxidase activity were measured, and at
the end of the study, haematological responses, growth performance and
digestive enzyme activity were investigated. Respiratory burst and
myeloperoxidase activity was significantly improved in all treated groups compared
with the control group (P ˂
0.05). Lysozyme activity was highest in the 0.1% and 1% extract groups. At the
end of the study, the final weight (FW), weight gain (WG) and specific growth
rate (SGR) were significantly increased in the 0.1% group compared with the
other groups. The feed concentration ratio was decreased in the 0.1% and 1%
groups compared with the control (P <
0.05). Haematological parameters were affected by A. graveolens extract intake (P ˂ 0.05). The total white and red
blood counts, haemoglobin content and haematocrit value were highest in the
0.1% extract group (P ˂
0.05). However, the mean cell volume and mean cell haemoglobin concentration
were decreased in the 0.5% group (P ˂
0.05). Digestive enzyme activity (trypsin, amylase and lipase) in all
experimental groups was significantly elevated compared with the control (P ˂ 0.05). These results indicated
an immunostimulatory and growth-promoting effect and increasing digestive
enzyme activity of C. carpio
supplemented with an A. graveolens
aqueous methanolic extract.

Este trabalho analisa a logística de desinterdição de pista por salvamento e remoção de aeronaves acidentadas. Tal abordagem se faz necessária porque o estudo e regulamentação dos procedimentos de gestão de aeródromos, no caso de desinterdição de pista, são limitados no Brasil. O objetivo deste estudo é definir a logística de procedimentos e recursos a serem adotados nesta situação atípica no Plano de Emergência de Aeródromos. Este propósito será alcançado mediante uma pesquisa qualitativa, adotando como metodologia científica a pesquisa-ação, com posterior análise junto à fundamentação teórica. A análise comprovou que a existência de um “recovery kit”, bem como um mapeamento de caminhão munck, reduziria o tempo para a liberação da pista e melhoraria a logística nos procedimentos dessa atividade, na medida em que facilitaria o planejamento e o dimensionamento correto, dos recursos, do pessoal e dos meios de transporte a serem utilizados.
A IMPORTÂNCIA DA TECNOLOGIA DA INFORMAÇÃO NA IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DO ENSINO A DISTÂNCIA DO INSTITUTO DE LOGÍSTICA DA AERONÁUTICA (ILA)
Authors: Moura Marli de Oliveira , Moreira Alessandro Messias
Published: March 2019

Este trabalho aborda a importância da Tecnologia da Informação (TI)na implementação do ensino a distância do ILA. Trata-se de uma pesquisa que tomou por foco o fato da TI ser vista apenas como suporte atuante nos bastidores do Ensino a Distância (EAD). Considerando o fato de ser primordial a atuação da TI no desenvolvimento dessa modalidade de ensino, pode-se afirmar que as mudanças na EAD foram também provocadas pelo aprimoramento profissional moderno. O objetivo desta pesquisa é o de revelar, em ordem cronológica, os momentos da interferência da TI para que o projeto de EAD fosse implementado no ILA e evoluísse até os moldes de hoje. Ainda, apresentar como sugestão para revisões, alterações e atualizações do EAD, a admissão de mais duas equipes, compostaspor profissionais capacitados em TI, com funções bem específicas. Para alcançar esses objetivos recorreu-se ao Arquivo Geral do ILA, e ao acervo da Subseção de Desenvolvimento de EAD. As fontes foram organizadas em ordem cronológica,inspecionadas e analisadas para posterior acesso aos seus conteúdos, extraindo-se deles os momentos de atuação da TI. A extração e análise dos conteúdos em epígrafe evidenciaram o objeto desta pesquisa, acrescendo-se na evolução dos fatos, a existência de três fases que se mesclaram entre si, com características específicas, que comprovam que sem a tecnologia da informação não haveria como começar, nem como seguir adiante e nem como vislumbrar o futuro do ensino a distância do ILA.

Authors: Vieira Robson Paz , Machado Fábio Gimenez
Published: March 2019

Este artigo apresenta a tendência nas organizações através do uso de ferramentas estratégicas. Esta tendência leva os gestores a encontrar ferramentas, metodologias ou modelos que ofereçam transparências na sua gestão. O Balanced Scorecard surgiu em 1990 nos EUA com o objetivo de desenvolver um novo modelo de medição de desempenho através de indicadores. O conceito do BSC é dinâmico e a partir do aprendizado das empresas, passou a ser usado como um Sistema de Gestão Estratégica através das quatro perspectivas (Financeira, Aprendizado e Crescimento, Cliente, Processos Internos) com a finalidade de transformar e traduzir a estratégia em termos operacionais, alinhar a organização e mobilizar a mudança por meio da liderança. Kaplan e Norton (autores do BSC) incorporaram ao Balanced Scorecard, os avanços como a gestão do conhecimento. Ao final do artigo é apresentado, indicadores estratégicos e operacionais.

Published: March 2019

Este artigo busca conhecer as características da gestão de custos e fluxo de caixa bem como sua aplicabilidade numa propriedade rural. O artigo foi elaborado porque muitos produtores rurais administram suas propriedades de maneira empírica desconhecendo seus custos e, assim, não realizam o planejamento financeiro adequado. Levantaram-se hipóteses sobre o possível conhecimento dos custos fixos e variáveis e consequente preço mínimo de venda e da identificação dos desembolsos e dos períodos em que os mesmos acontecem para elaboração de fluxo de caixa. Foi considerada também a inviabilidade da aplicação de tais ferramentas nas propriedades rurais. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica em obras, revistas, sites e publicações periódicas. Além disso, foi realizado estudo de caso em uma propriedade rural de Varginha-MG. O referencial teórico foi baseado em administração, finanças, custos e contabilidade envolvendo assuntos relacionados com o cenário cafeeiro no Brasil e no mundo, a identificação de custos na gestão agrícola, fluxo de caixa entre outros. Após os resultados do estudo de caso conclui-se que não só é possível a identificação dos custos e a elaboração e controle do fluxo de caixa, como é indispensável para a administração da propriedade rural.

Objective: To study the significance of serum magnesium levels during COPD exacerbation and stability.Materials & Methods: The patient population consisted of all patients of COPD admitted as acute exacerbation as defined by the Anthonisens criteria, from June 2006 to may 2008. Same patients one month post discharge presenting to the OPD for routine check up as stable COPD served as controls. Results: A total number of 77 patients of COPD presenting as acute exacerbation were included in the study. The incidence of Hypomagnesaemia was 33.8% at admission; 5% at discharge and 4% at one month of post discharge in COPD patients. The mean serum magnesium levels were significantly lower in cases than controls (1.88±0.67mg/ dl V/S 2.3±0.36mg/dl; p<0.0001). Also, hypomagnesemia was present in higher number of cases (22/77, 33.8%) compared to controls, 3/75, 4.0%; (p<0.0001). Patients of COPD with acute exacerbation and hypomagnesemia, had longer duration of symptoms and had advanced stage III of COPD (p<0.001); and had raised mean corpuscle volume (p<0.045) and longer hospital stay (p<0.008). 

Conclusion: We conclude COPD exacerbation is associated with hypomagnesemia. The duration of symptoms of more than 8 days, advanced stage of COPD (stage III) and raised MCV were associated with hypomagnesemia. We recommend to monitor serum magnesium levels in COPD patients with acute exacerbation at the time of admission and during their stay in the hospital.J Med Sci.2010;13(1);15-19

BACKGROUND: A primary consideration in any radiographic procedure is to reduce the dose to the patient and the operator while still achieving the diagnostic goals.

OBJECTIVE: To study the radiation exposure and protective measures in different units of various hospitals in Kashmir valley in compliance to recommendations from regulatory authorities.

METHODS: Twenty-eight stationary X-ray units of various major hospitals of the Kashmir Valley were surveyed by the radiation safety group of SKIMS. Panoramic survey meter, Thyac-V survey meter-470A, Prima-7 digital survey meters were used for radiation exposure estimations. The radiation level measurements were carried out at different critical locations like control console, door and the corridor adjacent to the Diagnostic equipment and were compared with the standards of AERB and IAEA.

RESULTS: Of the 28 stationary X-Ray units identified 21 were functional and surveyed. Seventy seven Radiation workers (Technicians) operating these units perform about 1335 diagnostic procedures daily on these units. Out of 21 X-ray units surveyed, 9 (42.86%) had dose rate at the control panel within the permissible limits and 12(57.14%) had exposure levels higher than permissible limits. The dose levels at the door and corridor were exceeding the permissible limits in all the units. Most of the radiation workers had no concept of radiation protective measures and did not use any personal radiation monitoring device like TLD (Thermo-luminescent dosimeter).

CONCLUSIONS: To avoid radiation exposure, the radiation safety measures ought to be strictly followed which is possible by making the concerned authorities answerable and accountable. Also the radiation workers need to be made aware of hazards of radiation exposure, importance of using personnel monitoring devices and providing knowledge about the safety measures.

Perioperative Pain Management: Present outlook
Authors: Zargar Javaid A , Lone Abdul Qayoom
Published: March 2019

The individuals rights in the United States, and the rise of democratic states, has created an environment in which individual pursuit of better health care, including pain relief, became explicit goals in the civilized world. The 'right to pain relief' has now multidimensional foundations in the developed world. Knowingly, acute pain is a universal phenomenon. All emergency and elective surgery, severe medical illness, trauma, childbirth, burns, natural calamities, war and torture, all contribute to its burden. In many countries political conflict, social dislocation, and inadequate availability of analgesics conspire to make the relief of acute pain sporadic at best. Effective and efficient pain control, however, is an ethical responsibility and moral obligation of a caring physician, whether working in the developed or developing world . JMS 2011;14(1):1-3

Major biologic function of activated vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus, thus regulating bone mineralization. Research suggests that vitamin D may help in immunomodulation, regulating cell growth and 1,4 differentiation as well as some diverse unspecified functions. Overt vitamin D deficiency leads to hypocalcaemia, secondary hyperparathyroidism and increased bone turnover, which in prolonged and severe cases may cause rickets in children and osteomalacia in elderly....

Published: March 2019

Glomus tumor, a benign neoplastic proliferation of modified smooth muscle cells characteristically occurs in a digital subungual location and presents with localised pain. Extra-digital locations that have been described so far include bone, tongue, stomach, rectum, lung, mediastinum, sacrum, coccyx and head and neck areas. Though the histology of glomus tumor is very characteristic, cytological features are poorly defined. Less than ten cases describing cytologic features have been reported so far. We present a case of glomus tumor of the knee joint detected on fine needle aspiration and confirmed later on histopathology, in a 55-year-old male. JMS 2011;14(2):71-73

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed life-threatening cancer in women worldwide. It is the leading cause of cancer-related death among women. In the West, it is often first detected as an abnormality on a mammogram, before it is felt by the patient or the healthcare provider. However, in the Indian subcontinent, presentation is often late. Surgery is considered primary treatment for breast cancer. Many patients with early-stage breast cancer are cured with surgery alone. In this review, various surgical aspects of breast-cancer are discussed with focus on breast conservative surgery. JMS 2012;15(1):7-14.
