An Ocular Emergency Often Ignored.

Branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) is a relatively rare vascular disorder characterized by the occlusion of one or more branches of the central retinal artery, with an incidence of around 5 per 100,000 persons per year. Its ability to cause permanent vision loss in a specific visual field makes it a significant clinical obstacle that requires careful management. We describe a case of a 77-year-old male patient, a known hypertensive (on medication and whose hypertension was under control), presented with sudden painless loss of vision in the superior field of his right eye.

Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma: A single-center 5-year experience.

Background: Skin is the second most common site for extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Most primary cutaneous NHLs are of T-cell origin (70%). Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (PCBCL) is a rare entity.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: A retrospective study from a regional care center in South India.

Introduction: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive lymphoma whose outcomes have significantly improved with rituximab in addition to anthracycline-based chemotherapy.

Objective: This study aimed to study the epidemiology, treatment, and outcomes of patients with DLBCL.

Materials And Methods: A total of 526 patients diagnosed with DLBCL between 2006 and 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.

Pharmacoeconomic benefit of cisplatin and etoposide chemoregimen for metastatic non small cell lung cancer: An Indian study.

Background: The incidence of lung cancer is rising in developing countries like India. Due to unaffordability among the low socioeconomic status (SES) patients, there is a significant delay in seeking appropriate medical treatment due to which a high proportion of patients present in an advanced/metastatic stage and the outcomes are poor.

Objective: In this study, we studied the progression-free survival (PFS) and the pharmacoeconomic benefits with the cisplatin plus etoposide (EtoP) chemo regimen and compared it with the current generation chemo regimen.

Hyperleukocytosis, an unusual paraneoplastic manifestation of lung cancer: Case report and review of literature.

Leukocytosis may be found in patients with lung cancer either at time of diagnosis or during the course of the disease. Though mild leukocytosis is common in lung cancer, hyperleukocytosis defined as total leukocyte count more than 100,000 is uncommon. We describe a 68-year-old chronic smoker who presented with osteolytic pelvic bone lesion and hyperleukocytosis, who on evaluation was found to have a primary lung cancer.

Growth and spread of manufacturing productivity across regions in India.

Abstract: An expected outcome of economic reforms in India is enhanced pace of industrialization with manufacturing sector playing a crucial role by increasing its share in output via higher investments and increased productivity. This process of industrialization was also expected to usher in possibilities for the slow growing states to catch up with the fast growing ones. This paper assesses the extent of regional manufacturing performance in India by analyzing the trends in labour and total factor productivity for the organized manufacturing sector of 15 major Indian states.
