Thalassemia major patients are known to have leucocytosis even after correction for nucleated RBCs. We report a case of undiagnosed Thalassemia major in a 4 month old infant with total leucocyte count highe...
متن کاملSpurious lung perfusion ventilation defect on planar ventilation-perfusion scan detected by SPECT imaging
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a preventable cause of morbidity and mortality which needs prompt recognition. Ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is a well-established diagnostic test for evaluation of suspected PE. We report a 32-year-old woman with history of rheumatologic disease and acute dyspnea, who was referred for V/Q scintigraphy. The planar images revealed multiple mismatched defects through...
متن کاملSpurious Response Suppression in Waveguide Filters using E-Shaped Chiral Resonators
In this paper, chiral E-shaped resonators are used in a waveguide. Direction of EM wave and position of resonators for effective excitation is studied and various resonances of E-shaped resonators are determined. As a consequence an analytical equivalent circuit model is proposed. Finally, an array of these resonators is used to realize a wide reject band. The resulted band stop filter performa...
متن کاملUnusual dual genital duct remnants in true hermaphroditism.
A case of true hermaphroditism is reported in which a 46,XY karyotype was associated with a testis and an ovotestis. The dual presence of a Fallopian tube and a vas deferens on the side of the ovotestis is documented as a previously unreported finding.
متن کاملAn unusal case of hermaphroditism--a 46,XX/69,XXY chimera.
A diploid/triploid karyotype is an uncommon but important cause of true hermaphroditism and ambiguous genitalia. Individuals have a recognisable phenotype and characteristic hydatidiform placental changes. We report a 46,XX/69,XXY chimeric hermaphrodite. This case highlights the typical features (large placenta, intrauterine growth retardation, asymmetric growth, cranio-facial anomalies, syndac...
