    Abstract Background and objectives: The present study was undertaken to compare the analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane (ESP) block with serratus anterior muscle (SAM) block in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy (MRM). We hypothesized that ESP block would provide better postoperative pain relief than SAM block following MRM.
    Methods: Eighty American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) I-II adult females, scheduled for MRM, were randomly allocated to receive either ultrasound-guided ipsilateral single-shot ESP or SAM block after induction in the respective planes, using 20 ml of 0.25% ropivacaine. Both the groups received postoperative intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) (morphine) for 24 h. The primary outcome was to assess pain severity using a visual analogue scale (VAS) score. Postoperative 24-h opioid consumption, time to first opioid analgesia, hemodynamic variables, total dose of antiemetics, and safety profile of both the blocks were also evaluated. Data analysis was carried out using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 21.0 (SPSS Inc. Chicago, Illinois, USA).
    Results: VAS scores were lower in the ESP block group, at rest and on movement, and the difference was statistically significant (
    Conclusions: ESP block provides better analgesia as compared to SAM block after MRM.

    Abstract Background: Cutaneous mucormycosis is an unusual fungal infection that continues to occur. It needs aggressive surgical debridement and timely administration of antifungals due to its high fatality rate. High clinical suspicion on the part of a surgeon is required to prevent the same.
    Case presentation: We present two cases of cutaneous mucormycosis in which the patients succumbed to death, highlighting the seriousness of the condition. One patient had a lower leg ulcer and was diabetic, and the other patient had a gluteal abscess following an intramuscular injection. Tissue samples grew Rhizopus arrhizus and Apophysomyces sp., respectively. Both patients were treated with amphotericin B, and extensive debridement was performed.
    Discussion: Cutaneous mucormycosis can be reported in immunocompetent people, and there is a need for early recognition of the entity as a differential diagnosis of any nonhealing necrotic ulcer.
    Conclusion: Proper training and education of technical and clinical staff should be done at peripheral primary and secondary care centres so as not to miss out on cases of mucormycosis and for better prognosis in a cutaneous variety of mucormycosis in surgical patients.

    Abstract Aims: Duodenal ulcer perforations are frequently encountered but there is limited literature regarding risk factors for leak after omentopexy.
    Methodology: The record of 100 patients of duodenal ulcer perforation undergoing omentopexy by open approach was prospectively maintained to identify any significant factors contributing towards leak.
    Results: Out of 100 patients undergoing omentopexy, 9 (9%) developed leak; when leak occurred, the mortality was very high (44.4%). Patients who developed leak (09) were compared against those who did not (91), and it was seen that seen that duration of symptoms before surgery (> 3 days), amount of intra-abdominal contamination (> 2 L), low body mass index (BMI < 19.35 kg/m
    Conclusion: Leak after omentopexy carries a high morbidity and mortality. Identification of risk factors may help in optimizing patients at risk and reduce the incidence of leak and its sequelae.

    Abstract Cutaneous zygomycosis remains underdiagnosed despite being frequently encountered. Delay in the diagnosis contributes to delay in treatment, and a resultant high morbidity and mortality. A retrospective analysis of the reported cases of cutaneous zygomycosis from India was made using various search engines and cross-referencing from available manuscripts. A total of 42 publications from India on the topic were identified, since the first reported case of primary cutaneous zygomycosis by Veliath et al. (1976). There are 130 described cases of cutaneous zygomycosis with an overall mortality of 35 %. The commonest zygomycete identified was Apophysomyces elegans, and the commonest predisposing factor was breach of the skin. Surprisingly, diabetes was reported only in 36 cases (27.69 %). It is important to be aware of this unusual but fatal infection in order to manage it properly and have a good outcome.

    Abstract Writing scientific papers is an important part of ‘academic’ medicine, not only to present one’s experience and innovations, but also to assess a person’s contribution and impact on scientific Literature. In addition, publications also play a crucial role in assessing a person for jobs, promotions, or funding.1 In the light of these facts, then, it becomes important to have a good number of publications so that one’s CV becomes impressive. However, in this race to have large number of scientific publications, these facts also encourage the publication of papers with negligibly important scientific content and also the issues of gifted authorship, where a person who has not contributed significantly to the actual process of either conceptualising or writing the manuscript is acknowledged as an author for various local compulsions.

    Abstract Background: Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) are frequently encountered, with a high mortality despite advances in health care.
    Material and methods: Patients presenting with NSTI were prospectively followed up in an attempt to identify factors that were significantly associated with mortality.
    Results: There were a total of 86 patients [65 males (75.6%) and 21 females (24.4%)] with an overall mortality of 33.7% (29 patients). The average age was 50.37 years and trauma was the commonest aetiology (34 patients, 66.7%). The average duration of symptoms prior to presentation was 10.56 days; the lower limb was most commonly involved (62 patients, 72.09%). Fifty nine patients had comorbidities (commonest being diabetes mellitus in 41). Age above 50 years, symptoms for more than 8.5 days, involved surface area more than 15.5%, of the total body surface, on-admission pulse rate more than 99 beats/minute, systolic blood pressure less than 103 mm Hg, Glasgow scale less than 12, need for inotropes, low hemoglobin, high leukocyte counts, uraemia, deranged coagulation, low serum albumin, and high levels of lactic acid were significant for mortality. On multivariate analysis, only age above 50 years, presence of acidosis and low serum albumin significantly affected survival.
    Conclusion: NSTI carry high mortality. The identification of potential risk factors associated with mortality might help in guiding and optimizing the management of patients who present with NSTI.
