Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass with micro architectural deterioration of bone tissue leading to enhance bone fragility, thus increasing the susceptibility to fracture. Although exact numbers are not available, based on available data and clinical experience, on estimated 25 million
We found corneal lesions of West Indian punctate keratopathy in 128 of 2,048 patients examined in a general eye clinic in Grenada, West Indies. Of these, 125 were Black, two were Indians (Hindu), and one a White female. The lesions occurred in asymptomatic persons with no history of trauma or

We aimed to determine the 6-year incidence and risk factors of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in first and second generations of Singaporean Indians. Baseline examination was conducted in 2007-9 and 6-year propsective follow-up examination of this Indian population in 2013-5. All
OBJECTIVE
To determine the role of Indian hedgehog (Ihh) signaling in human cartilage endplate (CEP) degeneration.
METHODS
CEP-degenerated tissues from patients with Modic I or II changes (n = 9 and 45, respectively) and normal tissues from vertebral burst fracture patients (n = 17) were collected.
The authors present two cases of polyneuropathy deficiency among Xavante indians where the sole food was rice in case 1 and almost so in case 2. The rice consumed by these indians was processed or hulled. Intoxication by cyanide from maniot or other vegetable was excluded.
METHODS
Two indians aged
Sarcoidosis is now recognised as a member of a large family of granulomatous disorders and has been reported from all parts of the world. Current evidence points to genetic predisposition and exposure to yet unknown transmissible agent(s) and/or environmental factors as etiological agents. Depending
OBJECTIVE
To study the psychosocial issues associated with prenatal diagnosis of SMA in India and the use of SMN1 copy number analysis for carrier detection prior to offering prenatal diagnosis.
METHODS
Homozygous deletion of SMN1 gene was done by PCR-RFLP. Copy number analysis of SMN1 gene was

A continent urinary reservoir was constructed from an ileocolonic segment and anastomosed to the urethra in 30 males after radical cystectomy for infiltrating bladder cancer. A small cuff of the prostate was retained for anastomosis with the reservoir and ureteric anastomosis was done from within
An interesting case of bilateral corneal ectasia resulting from its marginal degeneration in a young female is reported. Terriens marginal degeneration is a rare disorder of unknown etiology. It is usually bilateral, although often asymmetric, and is seen mainly in young men. It generally starts
BACKGROUND
Proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetically heterogeneous disease with paresis and muscle atrophy due to loss of anterior horn cell function. The survival of motor neuron gene (SMN) and neuronal apoptosis inhibitory protein (NAIP) play a primary role. Both the gene homologues
