His masterpiece the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde explores the interplay between a kind respected doctor Dr Henry Jekyll and his alter ego the murderous Mr Edward Hyde. One of the most prominent interpretations of this novel remains the examination of the duality of humanity, expressed as an inner struggle between good and evil.

Malta needs to make great strides to satisfy European-standard quality indicators for surgical management of advanced gynaecological cancer, and to progress toward 5-year survival rates of neighbouring countries. Surgical cytoreductive management requires a dedicated centralised team that can provide subspecialised multidisciplinary care. This article provides an overview of the role of cytoreductive surgery along the disease trajectory of advanced tubo-ovarian cancer. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/143768 Title: An overview of superficial and medium-depth chemical peels : part 2 Authors: Fenech Magrin, Anna Maria Abstract: A chemical peel is the application of a chemical agent to the skin, which causes controlled and predictable destruction of a part or entire epidermis, with or without the dermis. This ultimately results in an improved appearance of the skin, removal of superficial lesions and regeneration of new epidermal and dermal tissue. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z
