Renal Impairment in Sarcoidosis with Special Reference to Nephrocalcinosis

Renal impairment in sarcoidosis with special reference to nephrocalcinosis.

Buprenorphine disposition in patients with renal impairment: single and continuous dosing, with special reference to metabolites.

The disposition of buprenorphine has been studied in two patient groups to assess the influence of impaired renal function on the metabolism of buprenorphine and two of its metabolites, buprenorphine-3-glucuronide (B3G) and norbuprenorphine (NorB). A single i.v. dose of 0.3 mg was given to 15 patients (nine with dialysis-dependent renal failure) undergoing lower abdominal or peripheral body sur...

To improve the productivity only major nutrients are concentrated almost in all crops. Though the importance of micronutrient realized during past decades in most of the crops b...

Vital prognosis in intrathoracic sarcoidosis with special reference to pulmonary function and radiological stage.

A follow-up of 254 patients with intrathoracic sarcoidosis has been carried out after a median of 27 yrs from the diagnostic admission. All patients could be traced. At the end of follow-up there was no excess mortality (80 deaths observed versus 65.5 expected). However, during the first 20 yrs of follow-up a slight excess mortality was seen. Thirty three out of the 80 deaths were related to sa...

Study of HIV seroprevalence in Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients with Special Reference to Multidrug Resistant Mycobacteria

This study was planned to determine HIV seroprevalence among pulmonary tuberculosis patients, to characterize the isolated mycobacteria into typical and atypical strains and to evaluate the drug resistant pattern of mycobacterial isolates. The study aims to correlate multidrug resistance (MDR) and HIV seropositivity status in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. During the year 1994-1997, 750 pulmo...
