Effects of graded exercise training on functional capacity, muscle strength, and fatigue after renal transplantation: a randomized controlled trial.

Successful renal transplantation (RT) recipients suffer residual muscle weakness, fatigue, and low functional capacity. A safe, feasible, structured, early graded exercise training to improve functional capacity, muscle strength, and fatigue is the need of the hour. The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of graded exercise training on the functional capacity, muscle strength, and fatigue after RT.

Basal Cell Adenoma of the Parotid Gland-A Rare Entity.

Salivary gland tumors are uncommon and constitute about 2.0 to 6.5 % of all head and neck tumors.

Paraganglioma neck − a neuroendocrine tumour revisited.

Paragangliomas are uncommon neck swellings, usually associated with hypertension and flushing. They occur in the neck and other amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation cell rests, and are a challenge to the anesthetist at the time of excision.

Fusarium solani in the post-transplant patient: an unusual fungus.

The incidence of fungal infections in post-transplant patients ranges from 2% to 50%, and more uncommon pathogens are being isolated. Earlier, the fungi seen were candida, aspergillus, and cryptococcus; and of late, histoplasma, coccidiodomycoses, and dematiaceous fungi are seen. In this article, a patient with invasive fusariosis is presented, and literature of this uncommon fungus is reviewed.

A retrospective study of necrotising fasciitis.

Necrotising fasciitis (NF) is an unusual though well-described soft tissue infection of the deeper tissues resulting in a progressive synergistic bacterial gangrene. In a small retrospective study in a single center, an association was observed between NF and diabetes, age, peripheral arterial disease, and high mortality.
