Since ancient times Leeches were used to treat many diseases through bloodletting. According to Ayurveda Leech therapy is para surgical treatment modality. It is also called as bloodletting therapy. The description about leech therapy found in Sushrut Samhita.Sushruta has described the nature of leeches, their habit and method of application. Leeches secrete more than 20 identified bioactive substances such as Antistasin, Eglins, Eumerin, Hirudinetc. These enzymes have Analgesic, Anti-inflammatory as well as Antimicrobial effect. An enzyme has the ability to stay in the blood and do vasodilatation and further facilitate the blood supply to the surrounding tissue and helps to promote healing. Leeches were the primitive tool of surgical procedures since ages and the importance of leeches has not been diminished in modern era also and hence it can be used as conservative treatment in surgical diseases like Thrombosed haemorrhoids, Cellulitis and abscess and surgical intervention can be avoided.

           Rakthamokshana is the procedures of Panchakarma which helps to eliminate vitiated dosha that accumulate in the body. Jalaukavcharana is the types of Rakthamokshana which is practiced globally in India since ancient times. A detailed description on Jalaukavcharana is available in Ayurveda. It is used in management of various diseases in all the systems of the body including ears, nose, throat, eyes and head. Now a day’s Leeches are also used by ophthalmologists to treat inflammatory, traumatic processes and various diseases of eyes. According to Ayurveda, the diseases of eyes were caused due to vitiation of tridoshas. Jalaukavcharana i.e. leech application is a type of bloodletting therapy. It removes some of these toxins and vitiated doshas which are accumulated in the body. Various bioactive substances are present in saliva of leech. Along with that, it also exerts a therapeutic effect in several diseases. Though despised by most, medicinal leeches can be of immense benefit that may help people to surmount numerous health disorders. Jalaukavcharana is very effective ancient method of Panchakarma neglected by physician. There are many side effects of modern medicine. So it is the need to spread awareness about Jalaukavcharana and its efficacy. Thus Jalaukavcharana is the alternative therapy promising more effective and safer outcomes for the society.

With the development of systemic treatments with high response rates, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors, some patients with unresectable lung cancer now have a chance to undergo radical resection after primary treatment. Although there is no general consensus regarding the definition of “unresectable” in lung cancer, the term “resectable” refers to technically resectable and indicates that resection can provide a favorable prognosis to some extent. Unresectable lung cancer is typically represented by stage III and IV disease. Stage III lung cancer is a heterogeneous disease, and in some patients with technically resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), multimodality treatments, including induction chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery, are the treatments of choice. The representative surgical intervention for unresectable stage III/IV NSCLC is salvage surgery, which refers to surgical treatment for local residual/recurrent lesions after definitive non-surgical treatment. Surgical intervention is also used for an oligometastatic stage IV NSCLC. In this review, we highlight the role of surgical intervention in patients with unresectable NSCLC, for whom an initial complete resection is technically difficult. We further describe the history of and new findings on salvage surgery for unresectable NSCLC and surgery for oligometastatic NSCLC.

The processes of historical development of cities and formation of public spaces are considered. It is established that open public spaces have always been the basis for the formation of cities. In ancient times (Greece), the network of open-closed spaces was interpreted as the only public space of the city and was a sign of its democracy. With the strengthening of imperial power (Rome), the structure of public spaces becomes deterministic, with a certain direction of movement. In the Middle Ages there is a sacralization of space, which is replaced by its formalization in the Renaissance; further aestheticization of spaces intensifies, their new types appear. The era of modernism changed the spatial paradigm of the traditional city, which led to the loss of historically composed types of public spaces. At the same time, the modern era is characterized by the gradual convergence of external and internal space and their democratization.

As a result of studying the dynamics of the incidence of laryngeal cancer in the Republic of Moldova, in the period from 1980 to 2020. It was found that annually, a malignant tumor of the larynx, on average, about 120 patients fall ill. Over the course of 40 years, 874 patients were identified, of which more than 80% were admitted for treatment at stages 3-4 of the disease. This article studied the results of surgical treatment of 258 patients with locally advanced laryngeal cancer. Based on the characteristics of the spread of laryngeal cancer to neighboring organs and tissues, they gave us the basis to distinguish five main types of surgical intervention: upper, lower, anterior, posterior and lateral. The justification of these operations is proved by the patient’s life expectancy, which is 53.6%.

Introduction.The surgical treatment of the acute neonatal abdomen still poses a challenge in pediatric surgery. Various underlying etiologies require different surgical procedures. Until today the role of laparoscopy in the surgical treatment of the acute neonatal abdomen is controversial. The aim of this study was to analyze our experiences with laparoscopy and to perform a review of the literature. Methods. Retrospective, single-institution study including all term and preterm neonates initially undergoing laparoscopy due to an acute abdomen. Results. Altogether, 17 neonates presenting with an acute neonatal abdomen initially underwent laparoscopy. Unnecessary laparotomy could be avoided in 9 of 17 (53%) neonates. After diagnostic laparoscopy, 2 patients did not require any further surgical intervention. Eight neonates presented midgut atresia intraoperatively, 5 of them underwent laparoscopic-assisted correction. Successful laparoscopic derotation of an acute volvulus (n = 1) and laparoscopic appendectomy (n = 1) could be performed. Conversion to open surgery was necessary in 8 neonates (47%) due to creation of a stoma (n = 5), multiple intestinal bands causing poor visualization (n = 2), and bowel necrosis (n = 1). Conclusions. Laparoscopy is a useful diagnostic tool to evaluate the need for further surgical intervention in the acute neonatal abdomen and enables immediate surgical treatment of acute volvulus, appendicitis, or intestinal atresia. In case of conversion to laparotomy, precise localization of the incision is guaranteed. Minimization of the surgical trauma and avoidance of unnecessary laparotomy are the most important benefits of the minimal-invasive approach for the critically ill neonate.

One of the factors affecting the effectiveness of treatment and determining the prognosis of a patient with colorectal cancer may be inflammatory status both before and after surgical treatment. The review is devoted to the description of possible mechanisms of relationa between patient's inflammatory status and oncogenesis. Particular attention is paid to the ability of tumor cells to modify the immune cells from the antioncogenic to prooncogenic status. The paper makes an attempt to present a unified concept of the impact of postoperative complications on tumor recurrence in the light of the inflammatory response to surgical intervention.

Observation and experience in the study of goiter are of great value not only for the surgeon, but also for the biologist. The goiter was already known to doctors in ancient times, and they treated it in various conservative ways, but only modern pathological and anatomical studies, laboratory experiments and successful surgical intervention resolved this issue scientifically, and the operation for goiter took a strong position among the methods of its treatment, being, on the one hand, it is quite accessible and possible for the broad masses, on the other hand, it is a completely justified biotechnical method, which, according to the huge clinical material available, seems to be the chosen and best one.
