Background and Study Aims: Variceal bleeding is a major complication of cirrhosis, associated with 20 % mortality at 6 weeks. Current international guidelines recommend that patients cirrhosis are screened by conventional upper endoscopy (esophagogastroduodenoscopy, EGD) in order to detect esophageal varices. The recently developed PillCam ESO capsule endoscope has been shown be an accurate diagnostic tool the investigation gastroesophageal reflux Barrett's esophagus. We compared EGD for...
Background: A comprehensive examination of genetic diversity is essential for informed decisions in crossing programs. This study focused on 14 diverse germplasm lines bush/pole type Rajmah (Phaseolus vulgaris), conducted at the Zonal Research Station, Assam Agricultural University, during rabi seasons 2020-21 and 2021-22. Methods: The experiment was utilizing a randomized block design (RBD) comprised three replications aim to assess using ANOVA, parameters, Pearson correlation, D² analysis...
SUMMARY This study reports the results of a point prevalence markers endothelial dysfunction in serum patients with idiopathic uveoretinitis. sICAM-l, soluble leucocyte adhesion molecule (sELAM), anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECA) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels were measured 32 isolated uveoretinitis seven uveitis association systemic disease, using commercial in-house ELISAs. Raised AECA found 31% uveitis, vWFin 28%, sELAM 15.6% sICAM-1 31%. Further analysis revealed that...
Non-Hodgkin9s lymphoma may have ocular involvement but optic nerve and chiasmal disease is unusual. Determining the cause of neuropathy in this group patients presents major difficulties despite modern neuroimaging immunocytochemistry. Two with NHL are presented; one had an anterior syndrome other bilateral involvement. The first patient was thought to lymphomatous infiltration second a concomitant infection (progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy). Toxic effects therapy were considered...
Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2011; 34: 775–782 Summary Background In recent clinical trials (RCT) of bowel preparation, Golytely was more efficacious than MiraLAX. We hypothesised that there is a difference in adenoma detection between and Aims To compare the rate (ADR) these preparations, to identify independent predictors preparation quality detection. Methods This post hoc analysis an RCT assessed efficacy patient tolerability vs. MiraLAX/Gatorade average risk screening colonoscopy patients....
Increased levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1) in serum have been demonstrated several human disease conditions. We previously shown, a point-prevalence study, positive correlation between sICAM-1 and relapse patients with idiopathic retinal vasculitis. now report longitudinal study over year which were compared clinical status order to determine this relationship further. Serum samples from 11 vasculitis tested for the presence by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay....
Purpose: To report a case of optic neuritis associated with atopic dermatitis, which may represent an nerve counterpart myelitis. Methods: Clinical examination, MRI, blood investigations. Results: A 34-year-old man severe dermatitis developed steroid-responsive bilateral neuritis. Serum IgE was highly elevated, high titers mite-specific IgE. ophthalmological fluctuations paralleled those dermatitis. Conclusions: The clinical features and parallel strongly suggest that the patient's related...
