Incidence of influenza during pregnancy and association with pregnancy and perinatal outcomes in three middle-income countries: a multisite prospective longitudinal cohort study.

Background: Influenza vaccination during pregnancy prevents influenza among women and their infants but remains underused among pregnant women. We aimed to quantify the risk of antenatal influenza and examine its association with perinatal outcomes.

Methods: We did a prospective cohort study in pregnant women in India, Peru, and Thailand.

Three unusual cases of parasites in eye.

A 17-year-old male patient presented with cellulitis and mass in the eye noticed approximately 3 months back. The mass was about 1 cm in size and situated at the limbus. All preoperative routine investigations were normal.

Importance of complete histopathology report in predicting prognosis in breast cancer.

Tumour size, nuclear grade, mitotic activity, lymph node status, lymphatic and vascular invasion are some of the simple histological parameters associated with breast cancer prognosis. These parameters can be appreciated on routine light microscopy. Each of these parameters are associated with breast cancer aggressiveness.

Cellular tumor vaccines administered after T cell-depleted allogeneic bone marrow transplantation induce effective anti-tumor immune responses.

In allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, graft vs. tumor (GVT) activity contributes to the cancer cure. It is closely associated with graft vs.

Association of HLA Class I and Class II genes with bcr-abl transcripts in leukemia patients with t(9;22) (q34;q11).

Background: Based on the site of breakpoint in t(9;22) (q34;q11), bcr-abl fusion in leukemia patients is associated with different types of transcript proteins. In this study we have seen the association of HLA genes with different types of bcr-abl transcripts. The association could predict the bcr-abl peptide presentation by particular HLA molecules.
