Clinical and histological correlation of diabetic nephropathy.

Renal failure in diabetes is a common cause of renal replacement therapy. The affected kidney goes through various changes in all compartments progressively. The classification of diabetic nephropathy is based on glomerular lesions and displays a heterogeneous morphology.

Study of Basic Coagulation Parameters among HIV Patients in Correlation to CD4 Counts and ART Status.

Introduction: HIV infection is known to cause coagulation abnormalities by various mechanism, especially during its late course.

Aim: The objective of this study was to analyse platelet count, prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time among HIV infected patients and to analyse these parameters with respect to their CD4 count and ART status.

Materials And Methods: A case control study was conducted with 120 HIV infected patients and 40 normal individuals.

Intraarticular synovial osteolipoma is an extremely rare tumor. Only two cases have been reported earlier to the best of our knowledge. It is a rare histological variant of lipoma, which contains mature lamellar bone.

Diagnostic utility of bronchoalveolar lavage.

Introduction: Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a diagnostic procedure by which cells and other components from bronchial and alveolar spaces are obtained for various studies. One of the main advantages of BAL is that it can be done as a day care procedure. Material obtained by BAL can give a definite diagnosis in conditions such as infections and malignancies.

Malignant Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis-A Rare Entity.

Introduction: Malignant pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) or Malignant giant cell tumour tendon sheath (MGCTTS) is a controversial and debatable lesion. Few case reports have indicated the potential for metastasis.1These aggressive cases are designated malignant giant cell tumour tendon sheath or malignant PVNS.

Thrombotic microangiopathy in renal allografts.

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a serious complication of renal transplantation. It is a morphological expression of various etiological factors. In a renal allograft, TMA can occur de novo or be a recurrent disease.
