avian adenovirus was isolated from naturally infected birds during 1990 to 2003 in the vicinity ofkarachi, pakistan. the virus is known to cause hydro-pericardium syndrome (hps) in poultry. the mortalitywas recorded 20-50% in commercial broilers. fifty field samples were collected; however, six samples wereselected for molecular studies. these isolates were grown and characterized by cell cultu...

discussion hydatid cyst in pericardium represents only 0.5-2% of cases of systemic echinoccocal infection. isolated pericardial cyst is very rare in endemic region and may present mimicking acute coronary syndrome. cardiac hydatid cysts should always be considered in presence of eosinophilia as present like acute coronary syndrome in endemic area. introduction hydatid cysts are most commonly fo...

INTRODUCTION Hydatid cysts are most commonly found in the liver and lungs but they are rarely found in pericardium. CASE PRESENTATION We present a rare case of isolated hydatid cyst in pericardium of heart of a 70 year old female presented in casualty with unusual features like, dyspnea, palpitation and chest pain mimicking acute coronary syndrome. DISCUSSION Hydatid cyst in Pericardium rep...

INTRODUCTION The cardiac bioprostheses are related to thromboembolic events, infectious and degenerative diseases. Wear is mainly attributed to the denaturation of collagen. Glutaraldehyde, the predominant method of preservation of bioprostheses, favors the calcification process and limits their durability. Several techniques try to contain the degenerative process of bioprostheses. OBJECTIVE...

A field study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of the various poultry diseases in domestic rural fowl in Distt. Sheikhupura. The disease prevalence was found high (57%) in Fayoumi than local breed i.e., Desi hens (43%). The overall prevalence of various diseases was, Newcastle (40.33%), E.coli (5%), Infectious bronchitis (2.66%) chromic respiratory disease (7%) Infectious coryza (8.3...

Dressler syndrome is a well-known complication of myocardial infarction and postsurgical instrumentation of the pericardium (as postpericardiotomy syndrome). Also called postmyocardial infarction syndrome, it typically occurs 3 weeks to several months after the surgery, with symptoms of fatigue, malaise, fever, chest pain, pleurisy, pneumonia, and left shoulder pain. Diagnostic evaluation may r...

A rapid, simple, and accurate Modified Counter Current Immuno-electrophoresis (MCCIE) technique was developed and compared with the Reverse Passive Heamagglutination Assay (RPHA) for the titration of HPS virus. The MCCIE test had 100% correlation with the conventional RPHA and correctly titrated 116 samples which were already titrated with RPHA. Instead of horizontal electrophoresis chamber use...
