Unusual causes of Small bowel obstruction: a review of the literature and revisited cross-sectional imaging checklist.

Intestinal obstruction is a common surgical emergency with high morbidity and mortality. Patients presenting with features of small bowel obstruction need urgent evaluation to avoid complications such as bowel gangrene, perforation, or peritonitis. Imaging is necessary in most cases of suspected bowel obstruction, to take an appropriate decision, for apt patient management.

Cardiac MRI in right ventricular outflow tract myxoma: Case report with review of literature.

Cardiac myxoma is an intracavitory neoplasm, constituting approximately half of all the primary adult cardiac neoplasms. These are commonly seen in the atria; however, uncommon location and atypical characteristics warrant multimodality imaging with paramount role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We report a case of right ventricular outflow tract myxoma in a 40-year-old male with atypical imaging characteristics.

Hajdu-Cheney syndrome: a case report with review of literature.

Hajdu-Cheney syndrome is a very rare connective tissue disorder. It has autosomal dominant inheritance or may occur due to spontaneous de novo mutation. Recent research suggests that it is caused by heterozygous mutation of terminal exon of NOTCH 2.

Novel bifunctional alkaline protease inhibitor: protease inhibitory activity as the biochemical basis of antifungal activity.

An alkaline protease inhibitor (API) from a Streptomyces sp. NCIM 5127 was shown to possess antifungal activity against several phytopathogenic fungi besides its antiproteolytic (anti-feedent) activity [J. V.
