Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is one of the most common forms antineutrophil cytoplasm autoantibodies (ANCA)-associated vasculitis in children. Cyclophospamide and glucocorticoid-based treatment protocols are still considered gold standard managing this multi-system disorder. But treatment-related toxicity a major cause chronic morbidity early mortality MPA. Hence, search for an effective safe alternative immunosuppressant essential.A retrospective analysis baseline clinico-pathological...

Sir, We thank the author for his keen interest in our study[1] and valuable response same.[2] read with utmost four issues put forth by wish to provide relevant clarifications. As far as point about body surface area (BSA) is concerned, we agree that there no universal consensus on which formula appropriate.[3] However, concluding this lack of renders any one formula, instance Haycock's,[4] inappropriate Indian population not justified. There is, fact, other being more appropriate...

Congenital heart defects(CHDs) are an important cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. With advances in diagnosis treatment, many defects now amenable to correction. There is a need for individualized approach prenatally detected lesions predict the likely prognosis. Assigning them into risk category helps prenatal counseling, decision making, referrals formulation management plan improve outcome.To grade fetal CHDs according severity study its usefulness making.A prospective at tertiary...
