Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder in the older person although the incidence of normocalcaemic primary hyperparathyroidism (nPHPT) remains largely unknown. Whilst the majority of patients with PHPT asymptomatic, we describe a case of severe symptomatic hypercalcaemia from undiagnosed nPHPT whilst on calcium …..
We investigated some actions of Withania somnifera on the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic precursors [granulocyte/macrophage colony cell formation (CFU-GM)] of normal animals and EAT bearers, which were treated with different doses (20, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day). We also evaluated the presence of colony stimulatory …..
Background: Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) occurs in premature neonates with respiratory distress who require supplemental oxygen in the first days after birth. BPD involves uniform arrest of alveolar development and variable interstitial cellularity and/ or fibroproliferation. Previous studies by our lab showed that the enzyme, angiotensin …..
Primary cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare entity that affects more frequently extremities of immunosuppressed patients and may be gradual in onset or fulminant. An 83-year-old female with diabetes mellitus presented a nodular lesion in the forearm, which had progressed during one month. Clinically, as the …..
Aim: Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) of the lower legs is a challenge to treat. Surgery can be difficult given the challenged blood supply. Radiotherapy (RT) is a controversial treatment modality and some radiation oncologists (ROs) will not offer definitive treatment for lesions below the knee …..
Chagas disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi is a major public health problem. The diagnosis is difficult because there is no single test that has proven to be specific and sensitive enough for its detection. Diagnostic gold standard is the combination of two serological tests (of …..
We report a case of a neonate who was diagnosed to have intracardiac mass as a fetus and presented with white linear papules that was diagnosed to be Linear Verrucous Epidermal Nevus. Apart from the intracardiac mass, most likely rhabdomyoma, MRI Brain also showed presence …..
Objectives: This paper seeks to explore the hypothesis of the potential diabetogenic effect of SARS-COV-2 (Severe Acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus). Case series presentation: We present a case series of observation among 8 patients of age group ranging from 34 to 74 years with a BMI …..
