Acromioclavicular joint tuberculosis: apropos of two cases.
Tuberculosis is a great masquerader presenting in varied forms and in atypical locations. The myriad presentations of tuberculosis may complicate its diagnosis. We present two cases of acromioclavicular joint tuberculosis treated with a regimen of antitubercular drugs for 18 months leading to a complete resolution of symptoms.

Lingual thyroid is found predominantly in females and comprises 90% of ectopic thyroid tissue (1). In the majority of patients, the lingual thyroid is the only functioning thyroid gland tissue.

متن کاملIntensive care management of organophosphate insecticide poisoning
INTRODUCTION Organophosphate (OP) insecticides inhibit both cholinesterase and pseudo-cholinesterase activities. The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase causes accumulation of acetylcholine at synapses, and overstimulation of neurotransmission occurs as a result of this accumulation. The mortality rate of OP poisoning is high. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is often life saving. Treat...
متن کاملMechanisms of organophosphate insecticide-induced airway hyperreactivity.
It has been suggested that pesticide exposure may be a contributing factor underlying the increased incidence of asthma in the United States and other industrialized nations. To test this hypothesis, airway hyperreactivity was measured in guinea pigs exposed to chlorpyrifos, a widely used organophosphate pesticide. Electrical stimulation of the vagus nerves caused frequency-dependent bronchocon...
