In order to assess the frequency, risk factors, etiology, and clinical outcome of HIV-related sepsis and bacteremia, according to the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), all episodes occurred in patients hospitalized during years 1993-1995 (pre-HAART era), have been compared with those diagnos…

The last 30 years have seen lung transplantation grow from a procedure associated with absolute failure to one which now offers excellent outcomes for patients with advanced lung disease. It has brought much needed hope and is truly a remarkable story of medical advancement in the field of respiratory medicine.

Leprosy control programs, including multi-drug therapy for leprosy, have undergone significant changes over the last few years. With the process of integration of leprosy into general health services taking place all over India, dermatologists are more responsible for the care of leprosy patients than ever before. This…

Years of controversy about the lineage relationship between alpha beta and gamma delta T cells may at last have been resolved: it now appears that most T cells derive from an identical T-lineage committed precursor.

During the last fifteen years, 6 adult patients were treated in whom obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction or the renal pelvis was caused by a benign renal cyst. The cyst extended from the renal hilus in each case and had turgor sufficient to overcome the pressure of intrapelvic urine. Operative unroofing of the cy…

During the last decade numerous protocols have been published using the method of ball milling for synthesis all over the field of organic chemistry. However, compared to other methods leaving their marks on the road to sustainable synthesis (e.g. microwave, ultrasound, ionic liquids) chemistry in ball mills is rather…

The safety of the blood transfusion therapy has dramatically increased over the last few years because of improvements in donor screening, testing of donated blood and pre-transfusion tests.
