Recurrent intermammary pilonidal sinus: a rare case with literature review.

Introduction: the usual area for pilonidal sinus disease is the sacrococcygeal region. The aim of this study is to report an extremely rare condition of recurrent intermammary pilonidal disease with a brief literature review.  Case report:   A 22 -year-old married lady complained of discharge, pain, and redness in the intermammary region for 1 year.  On examination, there is a single discharging sinus and an old scar around it. Excisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of pilonidal sinus. Conclusion:  However its rare, intermammary pilonidal sinus may recur and require surgical re-intervention

Lists of predatory journals and publishers: a review for future refinement

Although predatory publishers are increasingly recognized, universally accepted criteria for defining predatory journals are lacking. These journals challenge the scholarly community by blurring the line between legitimate and questionable publishing practices. Several lists and reports of predatory journals have been published, which offer valuable insights; however, they are not devoid of criticism. Beall’s list, although criticized for its inclusion criteria, is currently managed anony-mously and updated infrequently. Cabells’ list uses an extensive array of inclusion criteria, some of which are similar to those used in Beall’s list. Several of these cri-teria are redundant and fail to detect predatory practices, and using all of them in evaluating a journal is seldom practicable. Kscien’s list has emerged as a promising alternative for identifying predatory publishers or journals. However, it requires refinement, potentially through creating a distinct list supported by unequivocal evidence, such as accepting a fake manuscript (ascertained through a sting opera-tion). The present review seeks to catalyze research on identifying predatory jour-nals and publishers by comparing existing lists and suggesting new techniques for detecting predatory practices
