Effect of advanced chelate technology-based trace minerals on growth performance, mineral digestibility, tibia properties, and antioxidant status in two broiler strains.

This research aimed to assess the impact of diet supplementation of Advanced Chelate Technology-based Mineral (ACTMS), on the Ross and Arian broilers performance. 520 broilers, of two strains, were allocated to 8 treatments (4 for each strain), 5 replicates, (13 chicks/replicate) and reared for 42 d. The treatments include 0 (CONT), 250 (SBC), 1,000 (SBC), and 2,000 (SBC) of ACTMS.

CHARACTERISTICS AND OUTCOMES OF PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC MYELOGENOUS LEUKEMIA IN BLAST CRISIS.

Background: Chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) is a hematopoietic stem cell disease with a relatively stable clinical course. Survival has increased with addition of Tyrosine Kinase inhibitors (TKI's). Its conversion into blast crises (BC) heralds an accelerated clinical course that is less responsive to treatment and has high mortality.

Outcomes among patients with sex cord stromal tumour of ovary: experience from Pakistan.

Background: Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumours (SCST) are relatively uncommon neoplasms that account for approximately 5-7% of all primary ovarian tumours. The aim was to report experience with sex cord stromal tumours (SCST) of ovary in a low and middle income country.

Methods: Clinical records of 56 patients with histopathologically-established SCST of ovary admitted to a tertiary care cancer hospital in Pakistan between April 1995 and December 2011 were reviewed.
