Over the last two decades, three key developments in the approach to treatment have improved the outcome of SAM: standardised management protocols, ready to use therapeutic food (RUTF), and community management of acute malnutrition (CMAM). CMAM has four components, namely, community mobilization
Context and rational Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of death among neoplastic diseases in women in developed countries (1). The 5-year survival rate is 90% for patients at stage I disease at diagnosis but only 2% are diagnosed at this stage because of the non-specific nature or total
Sixty-eight patients with sacroiliac (SI) joint or sympathetically-maintained pain will be randomized in a crossover fashion to receive diagnostic nerve blocks either with or without intravenous sedation. Among those who obtain some benefit and return for a 2nd block, this 2nd procedure will be done
