A 48-year-old man admitted to the urology outpatient clinic with major symptoms of right-side pain and intermittent lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs) such as low urine flow rate, dysuria, and frequency. Uroflowmetry showed low urine flow, and laboratory tests revealed no pathology. Ultrasound (US) showed a 7 cm calcific mass above the bladder and a kidney cyst with a diameter of 5.3 cm in th...

Renal-related disease is the most common cause of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)-related death in adults, and renal angiomyolipomas can lead to complications that include chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemorrhage. International TSC guidelines recommend mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors as first-line therapy for management of asymptomatic, growing angiomyolipomas >3 cm in diame...

We report a six-year-old Malay girl who presented with a right retroperitoneal tumour that measured 7.5 cm in diameter. A wide excision of the lesion was performed. The tumour was separated from a normal-appearing right kidney by a capsule. Microscopically, this well-encapsulated tumour was composed of classical triphasic components: epithelial, mesenchymal and blastemal areas. The immunohistoc...

Introduction: Quality assurance in Computed tomography (CT) centers in developing countries are largely hindered by the unavailability of CT phantoms. The development of a local CT phantom for the measurement of organ radiation absorbed dose is therefore requisite. Material and Methods: Local CT phantoms were designed to meet the standard criteria of 32 cm diameter for body, 16 cm diameter for...

Virus particles morphologically similar to the known oncogenic RNA-type viruses have been isolated and cultured from a spontaneous mammary carcinoma of a rhesus monkey. The virus was initially isolated by cocultivation of tumor tis sues with monkey embryonic cell cultures but was later found to be transmissible as a cell-free filtrate. The virus is approximately 110 m^t in diameter and has a bu...

The Antimicrobial proteins(AMPs) of kidney, liver, heart and gills of Labeo rohita were partially purified by acid extraction and ammonium sulphate precipitation. The proteins extracted from the tissues were estimated and found to be 106.5 mg, 64.0 mg, 160.0 mg and 48.2 mg/g.wet.wt respectively. Out of the four organs, the heart tissue has yielded the highest amount of protein i,e 160 mg /g wet...
