Seizure in geriatric population - An unheeded integer.

Background: Epilepsy is one of the most prevalent neurological conditions among the elderly. Age-related epileptogenic disorders as well as the ageing itself pose a risk for seizures in the elderly. The lack of witnesses, non-specific symptoms, and transient symptoms make the diagnosis challenging in the elderly.

A 32-year-old habitual tobacco chewer was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. He was initiated on chemo-radiation therapy. After completing 23 cycles of radiation and four cycles of cisplatin-based chemotherapy, he presented with acute nephritic syndrome.

Role of Human Wharton's Jelly Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (WJ-MSCs) for Rescue of d-Galactosamine Induced Acute Liver Injury in Mice.

Background/aim: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent precursor cells having self-renewal ability making them a candidate for use in regenerative medicine. Acute liver injury results in sudden loss of hepatic function leading to organ failure. Liver transplantation is often required to salvage patients with acute liver failure.

The Role of CA19-9 in Predicting Tumour Resectability in Carcinoma Head of Pancreas.

Introduction: Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a tumour associated antigen. Blood levels may be elevated in benign as well as malignant conditions. Its sensitivity (70-90%) and specificity (68-91%) are inadequate for accurate diagnosis.

Spontaneous Rupture of Adenocarcinoma of Meckel's Diverticulum- A Rare Entity.

Meckel's diverticulum is a true diverticulum from remnant of vitelline duct. It is most common congenital anomaly of intestine. It is associated with intestinal atresia and anorectal anomalies.

Relevance of sequential development of dermatoglyphics to schizophrenia.

Since the embryogeneses of epidermal ridges of hands and feet are reported to be identical, although those of the feet develop two or three weeks later, a tendency for symmetry or correspondence between each side finger and toe pairs could be envisaged. Any prenatal insult could disturb such developmental mechanisms, causing the lowering of either finger or toe ridge counts which might result in augmentation of differences between them. To test this hypothesis, the differences between each side thumb and big toe ridge counts of 89 schizophrenic patients and 65 control subjects were assessed.
