The emergence of plant diseases poses a significant threat to global food security and agricultural sustainability. Conventional management strategies, including chemical pesticides, often lead environmental threats human health concerns, while cultural practices frequently exhibit limited efficacy. Furthermore, the unavailability resistant sources, particularly against viral pathogens, necessitates development innovative control measures. RNA interference (RNAi), highly specific gene...
The objectives of this study were to develop a scoring system with colour Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) in patients Takayasu's arteritis, correlate the CDUS score Indian Activity Score (ITAS) and assess degree agreement between angiogram diagnosis arteritis.Nineteen angiographically confirmed arteritis fulfilling three or more 1990 ACR criteria evaluated. Their ITASs recorded. A system, CDUS-Kolkata (CDUS-K), was devised based on presence stenosis altered flow patterns. It then correlated ITAS....
The aims of this study were to identify and characterize features sacroiliitis in patients with non-radiographic inflammatory low back pain by ultrasonography (USG) correlate the findings that MRI.MRI USG SI joints performed on 29 who fulfilled definition according Assessment SpondyloArthritis International Society 2009 criteria for axial SpA but X-ray negative sacroiliitis. Increased vascularity, resistive index (RI) hyperechogenicity joint space considered compared those 32 controls. MRI κ...
Spiders of the Loxosceles species can cause dermonecrosis and acute kidney injury (AKI). Hemolysis, rhabdomyolysis direct toxin-mediated renal damage have been postulated. There are very few reports Loxoscelism from India. We report a case AKI, hemolysis "gravitational" pattern ulceration following bite brown recluse spider (Loxosceles spp).
Objective . Upregulation of various proinflammatory and angiogenic mediators orchestrates the typical pathological synovial alterations in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). DAS28-CRP is commonly used for assessment RA disease activity power Doppler ultrasonography (PDUS) an important modality assessing vascularity. This study was intended to look association inflammatory mediators, with respect different PDUS vascularity grades status, early patients. Methods 50 patients (<6 months duration)...
Scrub typhus, a rickettsial disease is endemic in several parts of India usually presenting with acute symptoms. Fever, maculopapular rash, eschar, history tick exposure and supportive diagnostic tests leads to diagnosis. typhus should be included the differential diagnosis occasions when patient presents fever or without eschar isolated cranial nerve palsy. Here we are reporting case who presented altered sensorium short duration, formation bilateral lateral rectus Patient was treated...
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic auto-immune disease, affecting the spine, sacroiliac, and sometimes peripheral joints. It also involved with cardio-vascular risk factors due to accelerated atherosclerosis. Oxidative burst, systemic inflammation coupled endothelial dysfunction (ED), resulting in reduced bioavailability of vasodilator nitric oxide (NO) an increased number circulating cells (CECs) may correlate disease activity its sustenance. Hence, study was aimed detect quantify...
Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a group of transport defects in the reabsorption bicarbonate, excretion hydrogen ion (H(+)), or both, resulting systemic and hypokalemia with normal glomerular filtration rate. Although isolated proximal (type 2) distal 1) pathologies are well characterized, combined pathology leading to type 3 RTA very rare. Here, we report case RTA, using an algorithmic approach classify scenario hypokalemic metabolic setting episodic flaccid paralysis.
Filariasis is one of the major public health hazards among Indian population. The common features are asymptomatic microfilariaemia, acute adenolymphangitis, hydrocele and chronic lymphatic disease. There very few reported cases pancytopenia as a presenting feature Filariasis. We describe case who presented with microfilariae were demonstrated in bone marrow aspirate.
Snake envenomation causes significant mortality and morbidity. Viper bite usually present with local cellulites, renal failure bleeding disorders. Thrombotic manifestation of snake is rarely reported early administration Anti-Snake Venom Serum (ASV) also reduces the risk thrombotic complications. Cerebral infarction in case viper may be due to hypotension, hypercoagulability or direct action venom on vessel wall. We report a rare bite, presented cerebral spite ASV institution. The this was...
A 27-year-old woman, known patient of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) attended our clinic in the early winters with erythematous, mildly tender plaque-like and papular cutaneous lesions involving her fingers for last 2 weeks (Figure 1).She did not have a history Raynaud's phenomenon or symptoms compatible involvement other organ systems.She had been diagnosed 3 years back when she complaints polyarthralgia, alopecia, photosensitive malar rash, fever.She on low dose steroids...
Paraneoplastic rheumatological symptoms are not uncommon in clinical practice. They can predate the diagnosis of neoplastic disease. Carcinomatous polyarthritis, vasculitis, and inflammatory myopathy commonly encountered paraneoplastic diseases. sacroiliitis is rather uncommon. We herein report a case due to acute myeloid leukemia young male. J Med Cases. 2016;7(8):341-343 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.14740/jmc2540e
Sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the sternoclavicular joint and upper ribs. There strong association with seronegative spondyloarthropathy in which bilateral involvement common. Ultrasonography Color Doppler findings of this entity have not been described previously, to best our knowledge. We describe patient ankylosing spondylitis who was referred for unilateral swelling.
