OBJECTIVE
To study the different morbid conditions among steel pipe producing workers.
METHODS
The present cross-sectional study has been carried out among the workers of one of the steel pipes and tubes manufacturing factory of Gujarat. Hundred workers from the four major departments of the steel
BACKGROUND
Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) re-emerged in the Indian subcontinent in the mid-1970s after an almost complete absence in the previous fifteen or so years. The disease was first noted in Nepal in 1978 and, since 1980, it has been reported regularly in increasing numbers. Elimination of
Gold fever currently dominates scientists who work on the chemistry and physics of carbon nanotubes. Better ways of preparing and manipulating these fascinating materials have been found. Potential applications extend from catalysis to the construction of flat screens and to the imaging of sensitive
A 65-year-old man with treated latent tuberculous infection presented with 1 week of fevers (up to 39.6°C), chills, headache, lightheadedness, and malaise. He reported a chronic, nonproductive cough without hemoptysis but denied other localizing symptoms, sick contacts, or recent travel. He lived in
An outbreak of metal fume fever (MFF) among workers involved in cutting brass pipes with electric cutting torches in an enclosed, poorly ventilated steam condenser is described. Twenty-six workers were affected. Symptoms most commonly reported were fever (21), dyspnea (23), chills (21), headache
BACKGROUND
Typhoid fever incidence in Spain, and particularly in Catalonia has decreased significantly since 1985. Water borne outbreaks can affect large numbers of people. These two reasons make specially interesting to study all suspected typhoid fever outbreaks, like the one that happened in
An outbreak of typhoid fever followed a large outbreak of dysentery in northern Israel. Both outbreaks resulted from contamination of a drilled well that supplied water to the municipal water system. The well was contaminated with sewage from a broken main-pipe coming from Shefaram (an Arab town).
OBJECTIVE
Typhoid fever is a global health problem and is also endemic in India. An outbreak of fever occurred in January 2014 in Jorhat Town in Assam, India. Here we report the results of an investigation done to find out the aetiology and source of the outbreak.
METHODS
The affected areas were
Controlled blood-feeding is essential for maintaining laboratory colonies of disease-transmitting mosquitoes and investigating pathogen transmission. We evaluated a low-cost artificial feeding (AF) method, as an alternative to direct human feeding (DHF), commonly used in mosquito laboratories.
We
Disseminated aspergillosis attributable to Aspergillus deflectus was diagnosed in a Springer Spaniel with lethargy, lameness, anorexia, weight loss, pyrexia, lymphadenopathy, hematuria, and urinary incontinence. Necropsy revealed granulomatous inflammation and numerous fungal hyphae in many organs.
A 27-year-old robust man, without any medical and surgical history, attempted to commit suicide by consumption of 300 cc (44.1%, 132.3 g) basagran, a readily available herbicide. This poisoning resulted in vomiting, fever, sweating, pipe-like muscle rigidity, sinus tachycardia, drowsiness,
BACKGROUND
Talcosis, a granulomatous inflammation of the lungs caused by inhalation of talcum dust, is a rare form of pneumoconiosis. Besides inhalative occupational exposure, intravenous abuse of adulterated drugs is a major cause for this condition. Minerals such as talcum (magnesium silicate) and
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) in the absence of an elevated creatine kinase is atypical and more difficult to diagnose. We present a patient with NMS significant risk factors who developed atypical NMS 6 days after a liver transplant. Symptoms of hyperthermia, altered mental status,
A 27-yr-old man began work at a company that produces concrete pipes in April 1987. The pipes are linked with rings covered with zinc. In September 1987, he was transferred to a new job in the same plant where he had to heat zinc wires and shoot the heated zinc in powder form onto the iron rings. He
