Aim: To determine the radiological presentation, management and outcomes of patients with primary spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (PSICH) referred for neurosurgical management in Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital (CMJAH). Patients and Methods: This was a 6-month prospective study of 45 patients referred to the CMJAH Neurosurgical Unit with a Computed Tomography (CT) scan confirmed diagnosis of spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage.

Aim: To determine the demographics and clinical presentation of patients with primary spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (PSICH) referred for neurosurgical management. Patients and Methods: Consecutive patients (45) with a Computed Tomography (CT) scan confirmed diagnosis of PSICH over a 6-month were recruited for the study. Results: The patients were 13 (28.89%) females and 32 (71.11%) males. The mean age was 52 ± 11.44 yrs. There were 32 (71.11%) black patients, 8 (17.78%) Whites, 4 (8.89%) Coloured and 1 (2.22%) Indian.

Previous studies using intermittent energy restriction in overweight and obese people have demonstrated it to be an effective intervention in achieving weight loss, when compared to continuous energy restriction. Objective: We anticipate that intermittent fasting (IF) in the Malaysian population may be an effective intervention for the management of diabetes. We describe a protocol for a randomized controlled trial of intermittent fasting in Primary Care Clinics in Malaysia of 18 months’ duration, comparing 3 and 5 days of IF to usual care.

Spontaneous regression of malignant tumors occurs very rarely. Although this has been noted and described by many observers over the years, its cause and mechanism remain unknown. In my opinion the antigenic makeup of the malignant tumor changes from “self” to “foreign” as a result of exposure to a foreign biological agent due to a clinical or subclinical infection and that sets the stage for its rejection by the immune system. Based on this theory I have devised and introduced a new method of treating cancer that would provide customized therapy for each patient.

Work-life balance can be defined as maintaining equilibrium between work and non-work activities.

An imperative factor that has the power to enhance or hinder this ability is the performance of its employees. Human resource management faces a critical issue that deeply threatens the performance of employees and that is work life balance.

Antecedentes: Los pacientes en estado de estrés por trauma, sepsis, o enfermedad crítica, exhiben un acelerado catabolismo de las proteínas, e incremento en la degradación y la transaminación de los aminoácidos de cadena ramificada en el músculo esquelético.

Antecedentes: La hipotensión durante la anestesia neuroaxial para la cirugía cesárea es aún un problema clínico común, en particular en la anestesia espinal. Existen estudios sobre la presencia de la hipotensión al utilizar Ropivacaína intratecal en pacientes a quienes se les realizó cesárea, obteniendo una prevalencia variable. Existen estudios con reportes de hipotensión que va desde un 3% hasta reportes de un 30%, dando como resultado una menor prevalencia de hipotensión arterial en comparación con otros anestésicos locales.
