Infective hepatitis ia an acute inflamatory condition of liver. It is usually manifested in the form of Jaundice. In this clinical study Kalmegh(Andrographis paniculata Nees) was given in the decoction form to the patients of infective hepitis. The results were assessed on the basis of clinical and biochemical parameters. A marked symptomatic improvement in majority of the cases was observed. A...

Further Course • PET scan : minimal increased FDG uptake with a max SUV of 1.9 (Fig.2). There was no evidence of a high-uptake lesion anywhere else in the body. • Given the low SUV uptake (which can happen in inflamatory disorders) and that patient had recent pneumonia it was decided to follow it radiographically. • 3 months and 6 months chest CT scans: stable size and shape of nodule. • At 18 ...

The great majority of infections caused by the pandemic variant of the influenza virus (nvH1N1) are self-limited, but a small percentage of patients develop severe symptoms requiring hospitalization. Bermejo-Martin and colleagues have presented a pilot study describing the differences in the early immune response for patients both mildly and severely infected with nvH1N1. Patients who develop s...

Introduction Migraine is a common neurological disorder characterized by paroxysmal headache, usually unilateral, and frequently accompanied by generalized sensorial hyperaesthesia and gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea 1. Migraine is thought to be caused by neurogenic vascular and inflamatory mechanisms and it has been suggested that serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT), a neurotran...

he investigation into biochemical markers is modifying the pproach to the diagnosis and management of heart failure HF). Over the last decade, natriuretic peptides (NPs) have een shown to be particularly useful in confirming or efuting the diagnosis of HF as well as stratifying long-term isk profiles. Several novel cardiac, metabolic, and inflamatory biochemical markers have emerged in the fiel...

Mast cells are distributed throughout the body, increased proportions are present in the skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, uterus and urinary bladder but functions of mast cell in health and disease are not well understood. Mast cell granules store wide variety of mediators of inflammation like heparin, histamine, serotonin, 5-HT, various chemotactic factors, slow reacting substa...

Fifty-seven years old man patient was admitted to our clinic with suprapubic tenderness and dysuria. Urinary ultrasonography showed the lesion that extending to the bladder lumen from the left wall. Urinary cytology was negative. Cystoscopy detected a tumor with smooth surface at the same localization. Computerized tomography (CT) showed 40x14 mm size solid contrast enhancing mass which is cont...

It is now widely accepted that human neoplasms arise as a result of a sequence of mutations affecting the structure of genes involved in growth control. Identifying the nature of such genetic mutations in thyroid neoplasms and their prevalence in the various tumor phenotypes is critical to the understanding of their pathogenesis. Mutational activation of ras oncogenes has been associated with h...
