A 34-year-old woman with an abnormal maternal serum screening result and a Down syndrome risk of 1:60 calculated from a maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) value of 1.4 multiples of the median (MoM) and a human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) level of 4.32 MoM at 18 weeks' gestation was found to
The complications associated with umbilical venous catheterization in neonates range from pericardial effusion, portal hypertension, and peritoneal perforation with ascites, to Wharton's jelly embolism. The case of a term neonate who developed ascites and severe hyponatraemia (serum sodium 119
An anuric woman with ascites rapidly developed extreme hyperglycemia and seizures after hemodialysis. During development of hyperglycemia, the decrease in serum sodium concentration (Δ[Na]) was nearly twice the value predicted by a formula accounting for the degree of hyperglycemia and the
Nanomedicine concerns the use of precision-engineered nanomaterials to develop novel therapeutic and diagnostic modalities for human use. The present study demonstrates the efficacy of biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as an antitumor agent using Dalton's lymphoma ascites (DLA)
Child abuse, a clinical condition in young children who have received serious physical abuse, is a frequent cause of permanent injury or death. The first case is a 7-year-old boy suffering from abdominal distension and pain for 3 days. He was beaten by his mother as a result of inadequately learning
Broiler chicks in different groups were fed furazolidone (0, 400 and 800 mg/kg feed) and sodium chloride (500 and 1510 mg/kg feed) separately and concurrently from 1 to 30 days of age. Furazolidone (Fz) induced ascites, leg weakness, convulsions, depression and mortality was exacerbated by
A term male neonate had an uncommon congenital vascular disorder of the skin covering the whole body and extremities. These skin lesions were characterized by mottling and persistent telangiectasia. A skin biopsy showed nevus vascularis reticularis which was recognized as cutis marmorata
A calf into which a biolized, total artificial heart (TAH) had been implanted survived for 145 days. All measured physiological parameters except central venous pressure (CVP) were back to normal one month after implantation, and thereafter the animal's physiological development was similar to that
A 12-year-old girl presented with a protein-losing enteropathy. Symptoms started 4 weeks after undergoing the Fontan procedure at the age of 1.5 years for mitral atresia, ventricular septal defect, and double-outlet right ventricle. Upon referral for 3 weeks of rehabilitation after multiple
BACKGROUND
Malaria is a major public health problem in the south-east Asian region. Among all countries in the SE Asian region the highest number of cases and deaths are reported from India. Children below 14 years of age contribute to approximately 42% of all the deaths. A majority of the deaths
BACKGROUND
Dengue is a common and important mosquito-borne viral infection. In many low- and middle-income countries it is endemic and is an important public health problem. Severe dengue is an important cause of death in children. There is no specific treatment for dengue, but observational studies
A rodent model of neurovisceral toxic syndrome induced by the neuroexcitant amino acid, domoic acid, is described, along with the activity of a putative antidote, the nonselective excitotoxin antagonist, kynurenic acid. Both an extract of contaminated mussels and pure domoic acid induced a
Four children had progressive degeneration of the cerebral cortex, with hepatic cirrhosis. They and four previously described ones, are representative of a distinct form of hepatocerebral degeneration. Onset of the neurological disorder is between ages 1 and 3 years, at times with mild developmental
Galactosemia in newborns and infants is associated with the following symptoms: jaundice, hepatomegaly, failure to thrive, feeding difficulties, hypoglycemia, convulsions, lethargy, amino-aciduria, cataracts, hepatic cirrhosis, ascites, and mental retardation. If the preliminary evaluation indicates
