Introduction: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis mostly affecting the lungs.Due to the low sensitivity of conventional microscopy and time-consuming culture method, Nucleic acid Amplification Assay Technique is STICKERS preferred because of its rapidity and sensitivity.This test also helps in finding drug res
A case of purpura fulminans secondary to transient protein C deficiency as a complication of chickenpox infection
Purpura fulminans is a rare but dramatic disease which occurs most commonly during or after an infection.It is characterized by extensive involvement of the skin and extremities and involvement of visceral organs.Purpura fulminans, when occurring after a viral infection such as varicella, is usually characterized by purpuric lesions involving the t
Tracking and Analysis of the Movement Behavior of European Seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in Aquaculture Systems
Monitoring and understanding fish behavior is crucial for achieving precision in everyday husbandry practices (i.e.for optimizing farm performance), and for improving fish welfare in aquaculture.Various intelligent monitoring and control methods, using mathematical models, acoustic methods and computer vision, have been recently developed for this
Customised Surgical Management of Congenital Upper Lid Coloboma
Congenital upper lid colobomas can present as an isolated embryonic defect or as a part of a syndrome.Through a series of two cases this article highlights the importance of different surgical techniques, individualised for congenital upper lid coloboma presenting at different Ovenware age groups with different location of lid defects.Case 1: Fifte
Reduced Cardiorespiratory Fitness after Stroke: Biological Consequences and Exercise-Induced Adaptations
Evidence from several studies consistently shows decline in cardiorespiratory (CR) fitness and physical function after disabling stroke.The broader implications of such a decline to general health may be partially understood through negative poststroke physiologic adaptations such as unilateral muscle fiber type shifts, impaired hemodynamic functio
