Antioxidant and Pulmonary Protective Potential of Fraxinus xanthoxyloides Bark Extract against CCl -Induced Toxicity in Rats.

Fraxinus xanthoxyloides is a perennial shrub belonging to family Oleaceae, traditionally used for malaria, jaundice, pneumonia, inflammation, and rheumatism. Our study is aimed to assess the total phenolics (TPC), flavonoids (TFC), terpenoids contents (TTC) and antioxidant profiling of F. xanthoxyloides methanol bark extract (FXBM) and its fractions, hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and aqueous, along with high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD).

Percutaneous Transhepatic Bowel Stent Deployment: An Alternative Approach for Malignant Afferent Loop Obstruction Following Whipple's Procedure.

Afferent loop syndrome is an uncommon postoperative complication. Currently, we lack a therapeutic option for treatment of malignant afferent loop obstruction following procedures like Whipple's. Here we present a case of afferent loop obstruction in a known case of pancreatic carcinoma, status after Whipple's procedure, in which we used a percutaneous transhepatic approach to relieve the afferent loop obstruction using a self-expanding bare metal stent.

Assessing the impact of transition from nonrenewable to renewable energy consumption on economic growth-environmental nexus from developing Asian economies.

Greenhouse gasses have adverse effects on global warming and air pollution and need to be optimized by minimizing the contributing factors. This work analyzes the effects of economic growth and energy resources (renewable and nonrenewable) on the emissions of greenhouse gasses (GHG). A 2000-2016 panel data from 25 developing Asian countries is analyzed through a robust Random Effect (RE) approach and Hausman Taylor Regression (HTR).

Cerebrospinal fluid hydrocele caused by scrotal migration of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

A 6-month-old boy presented with painless right hemiscrotal swelling. The scrotal ultrasound revealed a cerebrospinal fluid hydrocele caused by the migration of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) catheter tip into the right hemiscrotum and associated undescended left testis. Earlier, he underwent a VPS placement for hydrocephalus secondary to neonatal bacterial meningitis and ventriculitis.

Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome presenting in a euthyroid adult with short stature.

Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS) is a distinct and rare clinical entity responsible for congenital hypopituitarism resulting in deficiency of pituitary hormones with deficiency of the growth hormone (100%) and gonadotropins (97.2%) being its most common presentation at the time of hospital encounter (Wang et al., 2015).
