Introduction: Infantile nephropathic cystinosis (INC) is a metabolic disorder due to impaired carrier-mediated transport of cystine out of cellular lysosomes.
Objective: To examine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of INC in paediatric patients with endstage renal disease (ESRD) in Serbia and give a recent statement of the disease.
Methods: ESRD database of the Centre for Paediatric Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) in Serbia was used to identify all patients with INC who started RRT before age of 19 years during the period January 1980 - December 2008; their records concerning clinical characteristics, therapy and outcome were evaluated.
Background: The ocular adnexal region is the primary localization of extranodal lymphoma in 5% to 15% of all Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Intraocular lymphoma of T-cell origin is extremely rare and such sites of infiltration have been rarely observed in clinical examination.
Case Report: We presented a 56-year-old man with iris infiltration by primary intraocular peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
Systematic adsorption tests were carried out to determine the efficiency of organo-zeolite (OZ) for removal of atrazine, lindane and diazinone from water. The hydrophobic character of OZ-pesticide interactions was confirmed by measuring the amount of pesticides sorbed on zeolite samples modified with 25, 50, 75 and 150 mmol of stearyldimethylbenzylammoniumchloride (SDBAC)/kg of zeolite. The effects of adsorbent particle size, solid content in the suspension and the initial pesticide concentration in the solutions were also investigated.
