Tamoxifen as initial sole treatment of localised breast cancer in elderly women: a pilot study.

Abstract

Removable subcuticular skin suture in acute appendicitis: a prospective comparative clinical trial Standard surgical teaching advises the use of interrupted sutures for skin closure in potentially infected wounds.'-3 Trials supporting or refuting this premise are few. So far as we are aware no trial has been performed using a removable subcuticular stitch for skin closure in acute appendicitis. We report the results of a prospective trial to compare the two methods of skin closure.
