Biliary hamartoma mimicking pneumobilia: A case report

Multiple biliary hamartomas (MBH) are a rare cause of multiple benign hepatic lesions. The condition is also known as von Meyenburg complexes, multiple bile duct hamartomas and biliary microhamartomas. MBH is asymptomatic and usually found incidentally, where it is important to differentiate from other causes of multiple liver lesions, particularly metastases. In this report, a case of biliary hamartoma mimicking pneumobilia is presented.

Nanotechnology: An emerging tool for effective cancer treatment

Nanotechnology is rapidly progressing and is being implemented to solve the problems related to conventional chemotherapeutic agents such as low safety margin, poor water solubility, poor oral availability, normal tissue toxicity and tumor resistance. Nanotechnology promises targeted delivery of drugs and significant improvement in cancer diagnosis, treatment and management. Nanoparticle assisted combination therapies promotes synergism, enhances therapeutic effectiveness, improves pharmacokinetics and suppresses drug resistance.

Riyazat (exercise): A part of ilaj bil tadbeer and its role in prevention of diseases

Riyazat is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellbeings. It is performed for various reasons, including strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance, and merely enjoyment.

Clinical profile of exercise treadmill test positive patients with normal coronary angiogram

Background: Normal coronary angiogram following abnormal exercise stress test puts patients at higher risk of developing future coronary heart disease. Even with no occlusion in coronary arteries, patients are at risk of recurring coronary events such as myocardial infarction and death. However, research performed at the University of Bologna suggests that those with non-obstructive coronary disease are still at high risk for future cardiac events.

Risk factors for acquisition of hiv infection among idus in Kolkata

It is a community based cross sectional epidemiological pilot study, so it is not enough to explore the all risk factors among IDUs in Kolkata, West-Bengal. Most IDUs are young and HIV was found to be significantly associated with those aged >= 26 years compared with those aged <=25 years. In the present study it is revealed that the age group of the HIV sero-positive IDUs is 30 to 42 years and large portion of them are married. Most of the IDUs practiced unsafe sex (87.5), have the habit of sex with male (12.5%) and 75% visits commercial sex worker.

The dual clocks three-dimension probability random multi-channel access protocol with ack mechanism

Ad hoc network is a multi-hop, no center, and self-organizing wireless network. The network has no fixed infrastructure, each node is mobile, and can be in any way to keep in touch with other nodes dynamically. Each node is a router at the same time; they can find and maintain complete routing functions to other nodes. Due to the use of wireless communication and therefore more vulnerable than wired network interference enemy, eavesdropping and attack.
