Bloody nipple discharge in infancy has rarely been reported in medical literature. We report a 7 month-old female infant with a one month history of bilateral nipple discharge. Endocrinologic and hematological workups were within normal limits. Breast ultrasonography showed two non-echogenic cystic areas in each breast. The problem resolved after a period of observation. This is a benign condit...

Southeastern Yunnan has 4,996 species and varieties of 1,357 genera and 186 families of native seed plants recorded. Floristic attributes and biogeographical affinities of the flora were studied by analyzing its floristic composition and geographical elements. Tropical genera comprise a majority (68.83%) of the flora and those of tropical Asian distribution contribute to 27.34% of the total gen...

Nitric oxide (NO) is implicated as an important mediator of, or intermediary in, inflammation, immunity and neurotransmission. In the kidney, NO is involved in haemodynamic regulation, control of vascular tone and tubular function. Formation of oxygen-derived free radicals (OFR) have been documented in renal ischaemiareperfusion before. In this study, we investigated the significance of NO form...

Early recognition of Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasm (GTN) will maximize the chances of cure with chemotherapy but some patients present with many different symptoms months or even years after the causative pregnancy making diagnosis difficult. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of GTN in any reproductive age woman with bizarre central nervous system, gastrointestinal, pulmonary s...

Abdominal pregnancies are very uncommon and are misdiagnosed in half of the cases. We describe a case of abdominal pregnancy, which was misdiagnosed as pregnancy in a bicornuate uterus. The patient underwent operation urgently because of unstable hemodynamics. The spontaneously separated placenta and its bleeding site in the Douglas pouch were seen. We could not use sutures for hemostasis so, t...
