Brain metastases from colorectal cancer are rare. The prognosis for patients with even a single resectable brain metastasis is poor. ⋯ However, cerebral, as well as extracerebral, disease recurred 12 months after diagnosis. Surgical removal of colorectal metastatic brain lesions in selected cases results in a longer survival time.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Comparison of two different treatments of lateral humeral epicondylitis--"tennis elbow". A randomized controlled trial].
Many therapeutic interventions have been used in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis (LE), but to date, no specific intervention has proved universally efficacious. The aim of this study was to compare local corticosteroid injections versus splinting in a randomized controlled design. ⋯ We conclude that injections were as effective as splinting in LE. Splinting is recommended in the early stages of the disorder because of its lack of adverse effects. In the long view diagnostics regarding LE have to be refined in order to differentiate patients who are expected to benefit from different treatments.
