The use of insulin analogues will continue to advance our efforts at improving diabetes care and treated related adverse outcomes can be reduced

    Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Pseudotumor of Ileum: A Rare Diagnosis

    Get PDF
    Inflammatory myofibroblastic pseudotumours are uncommon lesions of unknown etiology. Diverse nomenclature such as inflammatory pseudotumour, plasma cell granuloma, inflammatory myofibroblastoma and inflammatory myofibrohistioblastic proliferation have been used for this entity due to uncertainity regarding true biologic nature of these lesions. This tumour is composed of spindle cells with myofibroblastic proliferation accompanied by an inflammatory infiltrate of plasma cells. Since it was first described in 1937, the understanding of inflammatory myofibroblastic pseudotumour has evolved from a reactive inflammatory process to a neoplasm of intermediate biological potential. These are associated with nosologic, histogenetic and aetiopathogenetic controversy. They occur in all age groups and in diverse body sites, with equal propensity in males and females

    Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. Among the various types, invasive ductal carcinomas (IDC), not otherwise specified (NOS) is the most common type. This study was conducted to describe the clinico-pathological parameters of breast cancer, and to find a correlation between two of the prognostic parameters, i.e., Bloom Richardson (BR) grade and lymph node metastasis. Materials and Methods: It was a cross-sectional study with a sample size of 100 cases. Routine clinical details and investigations of the patients were recorded, including age, TNM stage of tumour, etc. Further, the specimens were evaluated for the histological typing, histological grading, and status of lymph nodes. Also, statistical correlations were established between two of the prognostic parameters, i.e., BR grade and lymph node metastasis. Results: All the cases were NOS type of IDC. Majority of the cases belonged to pTNM stage III, followed by stage II. Maximum cases belonged to BR grade 2, followed by grade 3. Lymph node metastasis was present in 40% cases. A statistically significant correlation was seen between increasing BR grade and presence of lymph node metastasis in the tumour. Discussion and Conclusion: Majority of the cases in our study belong to high grade and stage. This is probably due to lack of awareness and late detection of breast carcinoma in Indian scenario. A statistically significant correlation was found between increasing BR grade and presence of lymph node metastasis in the tumour. Thus, these can be used along with other clinico-pathological parameters for prognostic and therapeutic planning in breast carcinoma cases

    MHD Boundary Layer Flow and Heat Transfer to Sisko Nanofluid Past a Nonlinearly Stretching Sheet with Radiation

    Get PDF
    The steady flow of a Sisko fluid model in the presence of nanoparticles is studied. The governing partial differential equations are converted to a set of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations. Numerical solutions for the coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations are carried out by a variational finite element method. A suitable comparison has been made with previously published results in the literature as a limiting case of the considered problem. The comparison confirmed an excellent agreement. The results for the local Nusselt number are tabulated and discussed. Behavior of essential physical parameters are presented graphically and discussed for velocity, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction

    A functional RNase P protein subunit of bacterial origin in some eukaryotes

    Get PDF
    RNase P catalyzes 5′-maturation of tRNAs. While bacterial RNase P comprises an RNA catalyst and a protein cofactor, the eukaryotic (nuclear) variant contains an RNA and up to ten proteins, all unrelated to the bacterial protein. Unexpectedly, a nuclear-encoded bacterial RNase P protein (RPP) homolog is found in several prasinophyte algae including Ostreococcus tauri. We demonstrate that recombinant O. tauri RPP can functionally reconstitute with bacterial RNase P RNAs (RPRs) but not with O. tauri organellar RPRs, despite the latter’s presumed bacterial origins. We also show that O. tauri PRORP, a homolog of Arabidopsis PRORP-1, displays tRNA 5′-processing activity in vitro. We discuss the implications of the striking diversity of RNase P in O. tauri, the smallest known free-living eukaryote.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación European Regional Fund BFU2007-60651Junta de Andalucía P06-CVI-01692National Science Foundation MCB-0238233 MCB-0843543European Union ASSEMBLE 22779

    Viscous Dusty Fluid Flow with Constant Velocity Magnitude

    Get PDF
    We consider the viscous dusty fluid, where the velocity of the dust particle is everywhere parallel to that of the fluid with velocity magnitude of the fluid is constant along each individual streamline. Also it is assumed that number density of the dust particle is constant and the dust particles are uniform in size and shape and bulk concentration of the dust is small. Hodograph and Legendre transform of stream function is employed to get the solutions and the geometry of streamlines for these flows by using the resulting partial differential equations when the Jacobian is zero and nonzero cases. In each case the variation of pressure is analyzed graphicall

    Nonlinear Radiative Heat Transfer of Cu-Water Nanoparticles over an Unsteady Rotating Flow under the Influence of Particle Shape

    A 3D study on Cu-water-rotating nanofluid over a permeable surface in the presence of nonlinear radiation is presented. Particle shape and thermophysical properties are considered in this study. The governing equations in partial forms are reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations. An effective Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method along with shooting technique is applied to attain the solution. The effects of flow parameters on the flow field and heat transfer characteristics were obtained and are tabulated. Useful discussions were carried out with the help of plotted graphs and tables. It is found that the rate of heat transfer is more enhanced in column-shaped nanoparticles when compared to tetrahedron- and sphere-shaped nanoparticles. Higher values of rotating parameter enhance the velocity profile and corresponding boundary layer thickness. It has quite the opposite behavior in angular velocity profile. Further, unsteady parameter increases the velocity profile and corresponding boundary layer thickness

    Get PDF
    Germ cell malignancies represent 15% of ovarian cancers. Choriocarcinoma is a malignant tumour with trophoblastic differentiation. It may be gestational or non-gestational and may be a primary tumour or metastatic from other organs. Pure non-gestational choriocarcinoma is an extremely rare neoplasm, with reports of only a few cases. This study reports a rare case of non-gestational pure choriocarcinoma in a postmenarcheal young female and describes details of the tumour, including the clinicopathological findings. A young female presented with sudden onset anxiety, abdominal distention, severe abdominal pain, and severe pallor. Clinically, she was diagnosed as a case of ruptured ectopic pregnancy, and was taken up for emergency laparotomy. A right ovarian mass of 5X7 cm was seen, which was ruptured and was bleeding profusely. Right salpingo-oophorectomy was done, and it was diagnosed histopathologically as primary pure non-gestational choriocarcinoma of ovary. This case report describes the histopathological and immunohistochemical findings of this rare entity, as well as the various methods to differentiate between cases of non-gestational and gestational choriocarcinoma of the ovary. This is important as non-gestational choriocarcinoma has a poorer prognosis in comparison with gestational. Also, the treatment regimen for the two differs

    Get PDF
    The present chapter is focused on studies concerned with three-dimensional flow and heat transfer analysis of Carreau fluid with nanoparticle suspension. The heat transfer analysis in the boundary was carried out with the fluid flow over a stretching surface under the influence of nonlinear thermal radiation, mixed convection and convective boundary condition. Suitable similarity transformations are employed to reduce the governing partial differential equations into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The equations in non-linear form are then solved numerically using Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth fifth-order method with the help of symbolic algebraic software MAPLE. The results so extracted are well tabulated and adequate discussions on the parameters affecting flow and heat transfer analysis were carried out with the help of plotted graphs
