This article explores the effectiveness of combined management modality (surgery and amphotericin B) in managing patients with rhinocerebral mucormycosis.
Are these claims novel? If not, please specify papers that weaken the claims to the originality of this one.
No
Are the claims properly placed in the context of the previous literature?

Do the results support the claims? If not, what other evidence is required?
