the present work was carried out to study the variation in biochemical properties of cervico-vaginal mucus of pregnant and non pregnant animals which could help to design suitable tool in future for early pregnancy diagnosis in buffaloes. cervico-vaginal mucus samples were obtained from 30 buffaloes (12 pregnant and 18 non pregnant) and some biochemical parameters were compared. means of ph, so...

islam spread rapidly after its founding, encompassing much of north africa, the middle east, and southeast asia. the art of this vast region draws its distinctive character both from islam itself and from the diverse cultural traditions of the world’s muslims. because islam discouraged the use of figurative images, particularly in religious contexts- unlike christian art- islamic artists develo...

A report is made of cases of phenylketonuria detected at Bangalore along with experiences in the dietary therapy and management of the cases. The need for early detection and early dietary intervention is indicated.

In general, rates of breast cancer are lower in low-income and middle-income countries (LMCs) than they are in more industrialised countries of North America and Europe. This lower incidence means that screening programmes aimed at early detection in asymptomatic women would have a lower yield--ie, substantially more women would need to be examined to find a true case of breast cancer. Because ...

The management of rheumatoid arthritis has undergone major advances in recent years, both in terms of the drugs armamentarium and therapeutic strategy. Treating disease to target, aiming at remission, through a tight control protocol is regarded as the standard of care. Reaching clinical and radiographic disease remission has therefore become an achievable goal. Increasing evidence has demonstr...

Jejunogastric intussusception (JGI) is a rare life-threatening complication of gastrectomy or gastrojejunostomy. Diagnosis of this condition has been reported to be difficult in most of the cases. An early diagnosis and urgent surgical intervention are essential to avoid mortality. We present a case of the characteristic US and CT findings of this entity.

Introduction The interest on early Spondyloarthtiris (eSpA) is born in the last ten years for the acknowledgment of the “evidence based” utility of the rapid diagnostic and therapeutic approach in this disease. The aim of this review was to discuss early spondyloarthritis in detail. Discussion The chronological definition of eSpA is not uniform in literature. ASAS criteria, together with the us...

The ability to monitor the condition of an electrical machine has been a concern of industry for many years. Knowing when a machine requires maintenance allows users to perform the required maintenance at their convenience, rather than during costly unscheduled shutdowns. This need for improved industrial monitoring techniques has produced a number of studies on the detection of mechanical faul...

We tested urine samples from patients at different stages of current leptospirosis and thereafter to determine whether use of the PCR for detection of leptospires in urine can be a valuable alternative to culturing. The procedure of DNA extraction and subsequent PCR applied to 15 freshly voided urine samples proved to be twice as sensitive as culturing. Overall, we were able to detect leptospir...
