The Hypertension is divided into two types: primary and secondary. the secondary type, is particularly due to renal and arterial origin and is mostly seen. In children the Secondary hypertension caused by malignancies is rare. This is a case of abdominal rhabdomyosarcoma with malignant hypertension.

PURPOSE To investigate whether exposure to occupational levels of organic solvents in the dry cleaning industry is associated with neurotoxic symptoms and visual deficits in the perception of basic visual features such as luminance contrast and colour, higher level processing of global motion and form (Experiment 1), and cognitive function as measured in a visual search task (Experiment 2). M...

Purpose: Dry eye is a common condition with significant morbidity and socioeconomic burden. The associated demographic factors that worsen utility in dry eye patients were not known. There were many questionnaire instruments advocated for dry eye documentation but none of these have been shown to correlate to quality of life (QoL). We aimed at examining the health related utility values in a gr...

OBJECTIVE To determine if subclinical hepatotoxicity is associated with exposure to perchloroethylene at concentrations commonly experienced in the workplace, and whether surveillance with serum hepatic transaminase activity underestimates such effects. METHODS Hepatic parenchymal echogenicity on ultrasonography and serum hepatic transaminase activity were compared in 29 community based dry c...

Dry eye disease is a devastating and multifactorial disorder of the tear-film layer and ocular surface. Multiple symptoms include multiple eye irritation, and visual disturbances, and signs have tear-film instability, along with the potential for injuring the ocular surface. Accumulating evidence indicates that dry eye disease is accompanied by hyperosmolarity of the tear film and inflammation ...

Background and Purpose. Dry needling is an effective therapy for the treatment of pain associated with myofascial trigger point (MTrP). However, the biochemical effects of dry needling that are associated with pain, inflammation, and hypoxia are unclear. This study investigated the activities of β-endorphin, substance P, TNF-α, COX-2, HIF-1α, iNOS, and VEGF after different dosages of dry needli...
