The changing face of tuberculosis: Trends in tuberculosis-associated skeletal changes

Changing tuberculosis trends in Nepal in the period 2001-2008.

To assess the trends on indicators of TB control in Nepal over a period from 2001-2008. Retrospective analysis of information from Annual Reports of NTP, Nepal from 2001-2008. The incidence of New Smear Positive (NSP) TB declined from 58.9 in 2001 to 53.4 in 2006 per 100000 populations then reversed in the period 2006-2008. This TB incidence decreased in males and the age group <45 years (excep...

Multifocal skeletal tuberculosis: Bone scan appearance [Persian]

Multifocal skeletal tuberculosis in not uncommon in the countries with tuberculosis. The clinical onest is insidious and sometimes nonspecific, resulting in delay or misdiagnosis. Bone scan appearance is presented in some reports, as multiple abnormal accumulations of tracer. This report describes an unusual presentation of multifocal skeletal tuberculosis.

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
