Background: Incidence of breast abscess is 0.4 to 11% of all lactating mothers. Traditionally the treatment of breast abscess has been incision and drainage. Recently aspiration under ultrasound guidance is emerging as another treatment option and rapidly replace incision and drainageMethods: Authors carried out a prospective, randomized study involving 50 lactating women with breast abscess. In group A - 25 patients were managed by ultrasound guided needle aspiration and in group B - 25 patients were managed by incision and drainage.Results: In patients of group A, most breast abscesses resolved with one or two aspirations only, with early healing and lesser number of hospital visits as compared to patients in group B. There was no surgical scar and early resumption of breastfeeding was seen in group A.Conclusions: Ultrasound guided percutaneous aspiration is an effective modality of treatment of lactational breast abscess and it should be the first line of treatment, especially for smaller and unilocular breast abscesses while incision and drainage should be reserved for larger and multilocular abscesses with imminent skin changes.

We aim to compare the incision and drainage against ultrasound-guided aspiration for the treatment of breast abscesses. Sixty-four patients were randomly allocated to Group A (incision and drainage) and Group B (needle aspiration). Incision and drainage was done under general, whereas aspiration was done under local anesthesia with antibiotic coverage after the pus sample was taken for cultures. Time taken to resolve symptoms including point tenderness, erythema and hyperthermia, recurrence of breast abscess, and healing time was recorded. Patients were followed until 8 weeks. Culture and sensitivity of the pus were done. Data were analyzed in SPSS 16.0. The mean difference of healing time was significant ( P = 0.001). A total of 93.3 per cent were healed in Group B and 76.6 per cent in Group A ( P = 0.033). Twenty-two samples (34.37%) had no bacterial yield and the remaining 42 samples (65.6%) yielded 11 anaerobic cultures (17.18%) and 31 aerobic cultures (48.4%). Ultrasound-guided aspiration of breast abscesses with the judicious use of antibiotics is a better treatment modality than incision and drainage.

Background: Breast abscess is defined as an acute inflammatory lump which yields pus on incision/aspiration. The frequency of occurrence is highly related to pregnancy and caused due to nipple cracking by a child during breast feeding and bacterial colonization due to improper nursing technique and incomplete emptying of the breast. Objective: The present study compares the outcome and effectiveness of traditional treatment incision and drainage against needle aspiration in the treatment of breast abscess. Methods: This is a comparative study carried out in department of general surgery, SherE- Bangla Medical College Hospital, Barisal between January 2014 and December 2014. 50 female patients of age between 20-40 years and diagnosed breast abscess with abscess size of 5'7 cm in diameter on ultrasonography were included in the study after taking written consent form. Of these 25 had undergone aspiration of the breast abscess (group A) and 25 had undergone incision and drainage (group B). Results: The mean age of the female patients in group A was 23.42 years and in Group B was 23.31. 91% of the cases were lactating. S. aureus was the common organism isolated in both lactating and non-lactating cases, encountered in 27 patients (54%). Out of that were in the aspirated group 17patients (56.67%). 10 patients were in the incised group (33.33%). The mean healing time and cosmetic outcome was significantly (p =0.001) very good in patients treated with needle aspiration compared to incision and drainage. There was no recurrence of breast abscess observed in needle aspiration group during the study. There was 3.3% recurrence rate observed in the incision and drainage group. Conclusion: Breast abscess in patients with diameter of 5'7 cm can be treated with needle aspiration successfully and with a good cosmetic outcome.

. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the management of puerperal breast abscess by ultrasound guidedpercutaneous drainage v/s incision and drainage with special attention to resolution time and complications. Setting: Allied Hospital Faisalabad.Period: Jan 2005- June 2007. Patients and Methods: 60 patients with puerperal breast abscess were studied. Patients were divided into twogroups randomly after informed consent. In Group A; patients were treated with percutaneous drainage under local anesthesia while GroupB patients were treated by conventional incision and drainage, and results were compared with reference to resolution time and complicationsrate using student’s t-test. Results: By percutaneous method abscess healed in 5-8 days time. Recurrent abscess was found in one case (3%),milk fistula formation in one case (3%) and no residual abscess was found. There was no scar formation, induration or distortion of the breastparenchyma. Breast-feeding was interrupted in four patients (13%) only due to milk fistula (one case), recurrent abscess (one case) andpatient’s own preference (two cases). On the other hand by conventional method healing took 15-25 days with pain and discomfort of dailydressings, scarring and cessation of breast feeding in most of the cases. Conclusion: Percutaneous ultrasound guided placement of suctiondrainage catheter in puerperal breast abscess for 5-8 days is less invasive, high resolution rate, scarless, low complication rate and preservesthe function of breast-feeding as compared to conventional incision and drainage.

Background. Accurate diagnosis of benign and malignant lymphadenopathy is important for determining the appropriate treatment and prognosis. This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy and usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) with a conventional needle compared to endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) with a Franseen needle for diagnosing lymphadenopathy. Methods. Patients who underwent EUS-FNA or EUS-FNB for mediastinal or abdominal lymphadenopathy between July 2013 and August 2020 were enrolled in the study. The outcomes between EUS-FNA patients (July 2013 to January 2017; 22-gauge conventional needle; Group A) and EUS-FNB patients (February 2017 to August 2020; 22-gauge Franseen needle; Group B) were compared. Results. A total of 154 patients (Group A: 83; Group B: 71) were analyzed. The diagnostic accuracy (differentiating between malignant and benign lesions) was 88.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 79.2–93.3%) in Group A and 95.8% (95% CI, 88.3–98.8%) in Group B. Group B had high diagnostic accuracy, but there was no difference between the groups ( p = 0.14 ). Group B had significantly fewer passes (median 2, interquartile range (IQR): 2-4) than Group A (median 3, IQR: 3-4) ( p < 0.001 ). No procedural adverse events occurred in either group. Conclusions. Although the diagnostic accuracy between the groups was not statistically significant, EUS-FNB with a Franseen needle provided high diagnostic accuracy and required fewer passes to establish a diagnosis. Thus, EUS-FNB is useful for diagnosing lymphadenopathy.

Background: The incidence of breast abscess ranges from 0.4 to 11% of all lactating mothers. Although breast abscess is a serious common complication of mastitis with high morbidity rate, there is a lack of high-quality randomized trial to demonstrate the best treatments.Methods: The Study was conducted in the Department of Surgery of Universal medical college and hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh and MH Samorita hospital and medical college. It was a randomized controlled trial to see the efficacy of primary closure following incision and drainage of lactational breast abscess over traditional open method. Total 120 population were randomly selected in group A (60 patients) and group B (60 patients) and data was collected with their signed ethical consent. The study was conducted from January 2014 to December 2019. Collected data were classified, edited, coded and entered into the computer for statistical analysis by using Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 22.Results: In patients of group A, most breast abscesses healed successfully with a nicer circumareolar scar, earlier healing, lesser number of hospital visits and lower total cost as compared to patients in group B. There was early resumption of breastfeeding and better patient satisfaction seen in group A.Conclusions: Primary closure of lactational breast abscess following incision and drainage is an effective modality of treatment of lactational breast abscess and it should be the first line of treatment, especially for larger and multilocular breast abscesses while traditional incision and drainage should be reserved for abscesses with gangrenous skin changes, where primary closure is not justified.

Background: Scabies is one of the most common skin diseases in our country. It is caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei var hominis, which is an ecto-parasite infesting the epidermis. Scabies is highly contagious. Prevalence is high in congested or densely populated areas. Individuals with close contact with an affected person should be treated with scabicidal which is available in both oral and topical formulations. The only oral but highly effective scabicidal known to date is Ivermectin. Amongst topical preparations, Permethrin 5 % cream is the treatment of choice. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy & safety of oral Ivermectin compared to topical Permethrin in the treatment of scabies. Methodology: This prospective, non-randomized study was conducted at the out-patient department of Dermatology and Venereology of Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College & Hospital over a period of 6 months, from August 2016 to January 2017. The study population consisted of one hundred patients having scabies, enrolled according to inclusion criteria. They were divided into two groups. group A was subjected to oral Ivermectin and the group B to Permethrin 5% cream. Patients were followed up on day 7 and 14 for assessment of efficacy and safety. Result: The mean scoring with SD in group A (Ivermectin) and group B (Permethrin) were 8.26 ± 2.22 and 7.59 ± 2.01 respectively at the time of observation. The difference between the mean score of the two group is not significant (p=0.117) the mean scoring with SD in group A and group B were 4.54 ± 2.05 and 1.64 ± 1.84 respectively at 7thdays. The difference between the mean score of the two group is significant (p<0.001). The mean scoring with SD in group A and group B were 2.68± 2.35 and .36± 1.10 respectively at 14th day difference between the mean score of the group is significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: Topical application of permethrin 5% cream is more effective and safer than oral Ivermectin in the treatment of scabies. TAJ 2020; 33(1): 41-47

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of two different suture types in levator plication for correction of congenital ptosis. Subjects and methods: Prospective comparative interventional randomized study involving 42 eyes of 42 patients aged more than 6 years with congenital ptosis and good levator action. The exclusion criteria were as follows: bilateral ptosis, history of previous surgery, fair or poor levator action, and associated other ocular diseases. Patients were randomized into group A, in which double-armed 5/0 polyester Ethibond were used, and group B, in which double-armed 5/0 Coated Vicryl® (polyglactin 910) suture material we used. Outcomes including eyelid height and stability of eyelid height over time were compared with follow-up data. The MRD was 4.05 ± 0.36 mm and 3.95 ± 0.34 after 1 week for both groups A and B, respectively. At the end of study follow up period (24 weeks), the MRD was 3.60 ± 0.42 mm in group A, and 2.52 ± 0.85 mm in group B. Conclusion: No difference in eyelid height between two groups in early postoperative period, but the postoperative eyelid height was more stable over time in the 5/0 polyester Ethibond group (group A) than in the 5/0 Coated Vicryl® (polyglactin 910) group (group B).
