Hypersensitive reaction due to ferric carboxymaltose in a post-partum mother experienced in a tertiary care hospital in West Bengal, India: A case report.

Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is highly associated with insufficient nutrition, chronic renal failure and congestive heart failure. Post-partum anaemia is also very common with a high mortality rate. Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) is a non-dextran third-generation intravenous (IV)-iron preparation.

[Perivascular epithelioid cell tumours in the liver].

The PEComa family is a group of tumours having perivascular epithelioid cells (PEC) as the predominating component. PEComas occur in various organs and are considered to be benign tumours. However, rare cases showing pleomorphic morphology, atypical mitoses or necrosis should be considered malignant sarcomas.

The role of genetic factors in the immunomodulating effect of thymosin.

The possible role of hypothetical genetic factors involved in the immunomodulating effect of thymosin fraction 7 (T7) was investigated. The model system was the in vitro immunization of murine spleen cell cultures with sheep red blood cells (SRBC), and the generation of antigen specific B cells in T7 treated cultures was compared to that of control values. It was found that T7 treatment enhanced the plaque forming cell (PFC) response of BALB/c spleen cells, while it proved to be suppressive in CBA cultures.
