Unilateral Koilonychia Secondary to Chemical Depilatory Product.

Excess hair is a problem for both men and women who want to conform to today's cosmetic social norms. Chemical depilatories are a safe, fast, and inexpensive method of hair removal. The most commonly used depilatory agents are thioglycolates and to a lesser extent, sulphides.

Tazarotene gel with narrow-band UVB phototherapy: a synergistic combination in psoriasis.

Background: Narrow-band UVB (NB-UVB) has been shown to be one of the most effective treatment modalities for psoriasis. Tazarotene, a known effective anti-psoriatic modality, when combined with NB-UVB may enhance the therapeutic success.

Objective: To study clinical efficacy and safety of combination of NB-UVB with topical tazarotene 0.

Efficacy of Bovine Lactoferrin Supplementation in Preventing Late-onset Sepsis in low Birth Weight Neonates: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of bovine lactoferrin (BLF) in preventing first episode of late-onset sepsis (LOS) in low birth weight (LBW) neonates.

Methods: In this study conducted from May 2012 to July 2013 in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a tertiary care hospital, inborn asymptomatic neonates, <2000 g, admitted to NICU in first 12 h of birth with no maternal risk factors for sepsis were randomized to receive BLF or placebo from 1st to 28th day of life. The incidence of culture-proven sepsis and sepsis-attributable mortality after 72 h of life was recorded.

Role of magnesium sulfate in neuroprotection in acute ischemic stroke.

Aims: To study the effect of intravenous magnesium sulfate infusion on clinical outcome of patients of acute stroke.

Materials And Methods: Sixty consecutive cases of acute ischemic stroke hospitalised within 24 h of an episode of stroke were taken as subjects. All subjects underwent a computed tomography head, and those found to have evidence of bleed/space-occupying lesions were excluded from the study.

Bilateral traumatic patellar fracture: a case report and review of literature.

Simultaneous isolated bilateral patellar fractures are very rare injuries and most often associated with systemic disorders such as hyperparathyroidism, osteoporosis, stress fracture and kidney failure. Isolated bilateral traumatic fracture of patella following an unusual mode of injury is seldomly reported in the literature. We reported such a case following a road traffic accident without any associated injuries or co-morbid condition.

Role of argyrophilic nucleolar organizer region staining in identification of malignant cells in effusion.

Background: Cytological examination of effusions helps to differentiate between benign and malignant effusions, but fails a definitive diagnosis in a number of cases. The main problem here is to distinguish reactive mesothelial cells from neoplastic cells.

Aim: In the present study, we used argyrophilic nucleolar organizer region (AgNOR) staining for diagnosis of benign and malignant effusions.
