In this research a laboratory investigation has been performed on the soil from different locations of Gujarat, India to Correlate Optimum moisture content (OMC) Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) test values with strength parameters of subgrade. In-situ condition has been made in laboratory using bigger testing mould and various tests like Liquid Limit, Plastic limit as well as CBR, PBT, UCS and D...

AR(;E ANOMALOUS GRANULATIONS in circulating leukocytes and cells of other tissues are a characteristic feature of Chediak-Higashi ( C.FI.) svndrcme)4 In addition to unusual intracellular particles, atie1 ts with this disease manifest partial albinism, photophobia, neurologic deficits, hepatosplenornegalv, lvmphadenopathy, increased susceptibility to viral and bacterial infections, and early dea...

Albinism, partial albinism, and vitiligo are three clinically distinct conditions having in common a deficiency of melanin pigment. As such they present the physician with the same basic problems-cosmetically disfiguring lesions and extreme sensitivity to sunlight of the involved areas. None of the diseases is itself an immediate threat to life, but the social disabilities, especially among dar...

Hemostatic agents(HAs) have gained increasing popularity as interventions to improve perioperative haemostasis and diminish the need for allogeneic red cell transfusion(PBT) despite a paucity of data supporting the practice. The aim of the current study is to examine the efficacy of HAs in reducing the rate of hemorrhagic complications during partial nephrectomy(PN). Data on 657 patients, who u...

Chediak-Higashi syndrome which appears to be a lysosomal disease (Douglas and Fudenberg, 1969; White, 1966) is characterized by partial albinism, photophobia, recurrent infections, hepatosplenomegaly, and a distinctive leucocyte anomaly (Chediak, 1952; Higashi, 1954). Available genetic and fine structural studies suggest that the condition is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait (Sadan et ...

62 Indian Dermatology Online Journal | Volume 9 | Issue 1 | January‐February 2018 Sir, Darier disease [DD; Darier‐White disease or (dys) keratosis follicularis], is an autosomal dominant disorder of keratinization with characteristic dermatologic findings such as keratotic papules on the seborrheic regions, brittle nails and longitudinal erythronychia, and palmoplantar pitting. Hypopigmented ma...

Introduction: The Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by oculo cutaneous albinism, a bleeding diathesis and lysosomal accumulation of ceroid lipofuscin. Objectives: To do a comprehensive literature review of the clinicopathological findings in patients with the Hermasnky-Pudlak syndrome, its diagnosis, management, and treatment. Methods: A literature review...

BACKGROUND The universal occurrence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) was queried about twenty-six years ago. It was thought to occur only in western industrialized countries with high technological development. Over the last decade, knowledge about ASD and its prevalence has been documented as being on the rise in different regions of the world, with most literature coming from the western wo...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the interfacial tension from the poly(butylene terephtalate) and poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (PBT/SAN) interface region using the drop retraction method. SAN filaments were sandwiched between two PBT films; the whole system was heated up to 240 °C, in a hot stage coupled to an optical microscope. The rheological parameters of the PBT/SAN system were obtai...

The Chediak Higashi Syndrome (CHS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by partial oculo-cutaneous albinism, frequent pyogenic infections, presence of giant granules in leucocytes and other granule containing cells(l). To date less than 150 cases have been reported in the world literature. This includes a pregnant lady who delivered a normal child(2). The first case in India was ...
