Mesenteric cyst and unusual manifestation: a case report

Introduction: Mesenteric cysts are rare intra abdominal masses and its prevalence is 1 out of 140000 in general hospitals and 1 out of 20000 in pediatric hospitals. In majority of the cases it is benign with several manifestations. Diagnosis is difficult , but with suspicion to cyst and using paraclinical procedures can be led to definite diagnosis. Case report: In this study a mesenteric cys...

Unusual manifestation of cutaneous Leishmaniasis in a renal transplant recipient

Cutaneous leishmaniasis may present as unusual manifestations in renal transplant patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy. This misleading presentation, may delay the diagnosis and treatment. Moreover special caution must be taken in renal transplant recipients because of possible interactions between antimony compounds and cyclosporine metabolites. We report a 45-year old man with 5 years...

The myxocoumarins A and B from Stigmatella aurantiaca strain MYX-030

The myxobacterial strain Stigmatella aurantiaca MYX-030 was selected as promising source for the discovery of new biologically active natural products by our screening methodology. The isolation, structure elucidation and initial biological evaluation of the myxocoumarins derived from this strain are described in this work. These compounds comprise an unusual structural framework and exhibit re...
