Historical Evidence of β€œPrinter’s Devil” in Pediatric Cancer

Global Journal of Medical Research January 15, 2018

Ò€œPrinterÒ€ℒs devilÒ€ is an error introduced during the routine printing of manuscripts. In the authorÒ€ℒs experience, this was used to determine the source of such an error with reference to reprints. In this context, since it is known that research profits from the slightest detectable error, this paper points to a printed error which occurred in 1893 in the Transactions of the Pathological Society of London.

Adult Osteomyelitis in a Developing Community

Global Journal of Medical Research January 15, 2017

Osteomyelitis, which means bone marrow inflammation, has been known since antiquity. However, it is still a current challenge. Accordingly, its epidemiology has been studied worldwide. For example, from USA has come a case series. In like manner, the present series comes from a developing community consisting of the Ibos or Igbos, an ethnic group domiciled mostly in South-eastern Nigeria. The study was stimulated by the affirmation of a Birmingham (UK) group that the establishment of a histopathology data pool facilitates epidemiological analysis. The present pool is a Reference Pathology Laboratory. It was striking that, among the 24 patients documented, the males were more often involved than females. Other parameters featured singly such as that the 3rd Decade was the commonest for both sexes.

Early Contralateral Intramammary Lymph Node Metastasis Presented Soon after Mastectomy in Nigeria: Case Report

Global Journal of Medical Research January 15, 2017

Mastectomy is an event that needs follow up. In this community, a report concerned recurrence in the mastectomy scar itself. Therefore, the present paper deals with metastasis beyond the midline itself, namely, spread across to an intramammary lymph node. It is considered here that interest in this location has long been delayed although its very existence was known as far back as 1892.
