Background: A total of 88 women were selected retrospectively from this group the tissue samples of breast cancer had been analyzed using immunohistochemical techniques to understand the Hormones receptor (ER&PR)with histological grade.
Objective: To compare the expression of tumor markers (ER&PR) with tumorhistological grade.
Acne keloidalis nuchae (AKN) is a chronic, idiopathic, inflammatory condition most commonly occurring in young black males and represents nearly 0.45% of all dermatoses affecting black patients. The male to female ratio is 20:1.It is initially characterized as firm skin colored papules and pustules on the occipital region of the scalp and posterior aspect of the upper part of the neck. These lesions later coalesce and may ultimately develop into tumor-like masses giving the appearance of keloidal plaques with destruction of hair follicles and loss of hair.
Background and Objectives: Breastfeeding is a gift that lasts a lifetime. It gives babies the best start in life. Benefits are more; if it is exclusive for 6 months. (Anand et al 2002). Working lactating mothers may encounter unforeseen reasons for ceasing exclusive breast feeding (EBF). The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of video assisted teaching on knowledge, attitude and skill regarding technique of EBF among working lactating mothers and to assess their infant feeding practices and breast feeding difficulties.
Background and Objective: Cognitive deficit is one of the symptoms of schizophrenia due to altered acetyl cholinesterase levels and thus treated by cholinesterase inhibitors like neostigmine. We studied the cognitive and immunohistochemical effect of Neostigmine on Ketamine induced cognitive deficit in rats.
A primigravida presented with severe oligohydramnios and breech presentation with fetal distress. She underwent emergency cesarean section. The baby had multiple anomalies including Potter’s facies, phocomelia, mesomelia, renal dysplasia and anomalies of external genitalia. Baby died immediately after birth. MRI and foetal dissection showed findings correlating with Ulbright-Hodes syndrome or Renal dysplasia – limb defects syndrome (RL Syndrome). This is a very rare autosomal recessive congenital disorder.
Introduction: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) is one of the treatment modalities for end-stage renal disease. The most important advantage of CAPD over hemodialysis is that it endows patients the liberty to perform daily activities and also is technically simpler. However, there is only limited long-term effectiveness of CAPD because of various complications. Dialysate leakage is a major noninfectious complication of peritoneal dialysis. This paper presents a peritoneal dialysis patient with late pericatheter leak.
Nutrition is expanding to reach all components of health care including dentistry. Diet can affect oral health via numerous mechanisms. The health of oral tissues can be affected by nutrition, diet and oral habits. The documented associations between oral health and systemic health demonstrates the need for dentists to become more knowledgeable about systemic nutrition which affects the normal growth, development and maintenance of the dental structures, promotes the immunity necessary for wound healing and affects resistance to oral infections.
The current therapeutic strategy for multiple myeloma has witnessed a dramatic improvement when compared with the rhubarb pill and infusion of orange peel that were used in 1844. It is still an incurable disease but the introduction of novel therapies have altered the natural course of the disease, transforming it into a chronic disease from a terminal illness.
Introduction: Placenta is directly related to the growth and development of the fetus in utero. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are strongly associated with fetal growth restriction, prematurity, contributing largely to perinatal mortality and morbidity.
Aims and Objectives: 1. Identification of morphological changes in placenta in patients with PIH.
2.Correlating these changes which may contribute or cause adverse pregnancy or fetal outcome.
