Ganglioneuroma Always A Histopathological Diagnosis
Neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma arise from sympathetic tissue in the neck, posterior mediastinum, adrenal gland, retroperitoneum and pelvis Ganglioneuromas are commonly seen in childhood. They are highly differentiated benign tumors and are compatible with long-term disease free survival. Retroperitoneal localization is relatively frequent for these tumors. Due to its rarity and lack of specific radiological findings diagnosis is always postoperative. Here, we present a case of Retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma which was undiagnosed before surgery
Primary Fallopian Tube Carcinoma
Primary Fallopian Tube Carcinoma (PFTC) is rare and accounts for about 0.3% of all gynecologic cancers. Less than 1500 cases have been reported in the literature. It arises in postmenopausal women and typically presents with abdominal pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding and watery discharge. However, a correct diagnosis is rarely achieved preoperative, and in many cases, the diagnosis is made after incidental surgery for unrelated conditions commonly being ovarian carcinoma . Compared with ovarian carcinoma, PFTC more often presents at early stages, but it has a worse prognosis. PFTC is usually managed in the same manner as ovarian cancer. We report a case of Left PFTC that presented as Left ovarian mass, and we briefly review the literature
Study of the bacterial flora of the upper respiratory tract of the dog and cat
The scarcity of information concerning the
normal bacterial flora of the mouth and upper
respiratory tract of the various domesticated animals
has been the subject of recent comment by Veterinary
Surgeons, arising out of ;queries regarding the
possible carrier rate amongst animals of organisms
pathogenic to those animals and also, in the case of
pet animals, as to the possibility of their carrying
and transmitting infections to their owners.
In 1941, Francis, While summarising the Public
Health Report on the study of the bacterial flora of
the nasopharynx of individuals of the population in
London and South-East England (Straker , Bedford,
Lovell and Rosher, 1939) , drew the attention of
veterinary research workers to the fact that there
had been no adequate investigation of the bacteria
normally present in the nasopharynx of any species of
domestic animals, or of the factors which affected
the carrier rate. He pointed out that a study of
such a nature would be of obvious value in several of
the respiratory diseases of domestic animals,
particularly of those affecting young animals kept
under intensive conditions. Bosworth (1947) Quoted
the need for an adequate survey of staphylococci in
dogs in normal health and sickness, Levi (1946)
thought that a detailed study of the normal inhabitants
of the nasopharynx of the cat would be of value
in interpreting bacteriological findings in cases of
"snuffies". much has been said in recent years
about the incidence of haemolytic streptococci. in
dogs and their pathogenicity (pilot, Bïiick, Davis and
Eastman, 1936; Hare and = ry, 1935; Stafseth, 1940;
Hare, 1946,; and Carside , 1947) , but the frequencies
of these organisms in relation to other possible
pathos, ens have not been studied.
Taking these factors into consideration, it was
decided to make a general survey of the various
organisms present in the upper respiratory tracts of
dog's and cats. These animals were chosen because of
the facilities available for the collection of material
(Clinical Department attached to the Royal (Dick)
Veterinary College, Edinburgh) , but an important
factor which weighed too in selecting these two species
of animals, was the Public Health aspect. It was
thought that the results of this investigation would
provide information as to whether or not these animals
were frequent carriers of human pathogens. In modern
society the dog and cat have become such household pets
that they are fairly considered as members of the
family, having free access practically to everything
and to every piece in their masters' homes, so that
if these animals harbour any of the human pathogens,
transmission to Human beings may be easily accomplished
Several reports regarding the high f'requency of
haemolytic streptococci in the throats of dogs,
stated above, repeated reports in the medical
literature of Pasteurella infection in man following
cat bites and, -in one instance, dog bite (napel and
Holm, 1930; Schenk, 1938; Allin, 1942; Allott et al,
1944; and Hansman and Tully, 1945), and the cases
recorded of tularaemia following cat bites (Smiles,
1931; Collins, 1933 -34) specially influenced this
aspect of the study
Ovarian Fibroma with Meigs Syndrome associated with Elevated CA125 - A Rare Case
Postmenopausal women with solid adnexal masses, ascites and pleural effusion with elevated CA 125 are highly suggestive for malignant ovarian tumor. However in literature 28 cases Meigs syndrome (Benign ovarian tumor, ascites and right pleural effusion) with raised CA 125 have been reported. We report a case of Meigs syndrome caused by right ovarian fibroma with elevated serum CA125 level in a postmenopausal woma
Techniques for Evaluating the Fit of Removable and Fixed Prosthesis
The importance of an accurately fitting fixed prosthesis or a removable prosthesis is essential for the success of the restoration. Ill-fitting prosthesis may cause mechanical failures of the prosthesis, implant systems, or biologic complications of the surrounding tissue. There are several causes related to improper seating of the prosthesis. Some of which can be corrected and the others need to be repeated. Hence the clinician must carefully evaluate the adaptation of the prosthesis using the clinical techniques and combination of the available materials and evaluation methods to optimize the fit of prosthesis. This article reviews the various clinical methods that have been suggested for evaluating the fit of the fixed and removable prosthesis
Generation of transgenic human embryonic stem cell line BJNhem20–OCIAD1-OV
Ovarian Carcinoma Immuno-reactive Antigen domain containing protein 1 (OCIAD1) was overexpressed in BJNhem20 human embryonic stem cell line (hESC) using plasmid transfection, followed by stable cell line generation. The construct pCAG-OCIAD1 was introduced into hESCs by microporation
Scope-Bounded Reachability in Valence Systems
Multi-pushdown systems are a standard model for concurrent recursive programs, but they have an undecidable reachability problem. Therefore, there have been several proposals to underapproximate their sets of runs so that reachability in this underapproximation becomes decidable. One such underapproximation that covers a relatively high portion of runs is scope boundedness. In such a run, after each push to stack i, the corresponding pop operation must come within a bounded number of visits to stack i.
In this work, we generalize this approach to a large class of infinite-state systems. For this, we consider the model of valence systems, which consist of a finite-state control and an infinite-state storage mechanism that is specified by a finite undirected graph. This framework captures pushdowns, vector addition systems, integer vector addition systems, and combinations thereof. For this framework, we propose a notion of scope boundedness that coincides with the classical notion when the storage mechanism happens to be a multi-pushdown.
We show that with this notion, reachability can be decided in PSPACE for every storage mechanism in the framework. Moreover, we describe the full complexity landscape of this problem across all storage mechanisms, both in the case of (i) the scope bound being given as input and (ii) for fixed scope bounds. Finally, we provide an almost complete description of the complexity landscape if even a description of the storage mechanism is part of the input
Proofs for Integrity of Data in Cloud Storage
data is moved to a remotely located cloud server in cloud computing. The cloud stores the data and return back to the owner whenever it is needed. But there is no guarantee that data stored in the cloud is secured and not altered by the cloud or Third Party. In order to overcome the problem of integrity of data, the user must be able to use the assist of a third party. The third party has experience in checking integrity of data, that cloud users does not have, and that is difficult for the owner to check. The data in the cloud should be correct, consistent, accessible and high quality. The aim of this research is to ensure the integrity of data and provides the proof that data is in secured manner and to provide cryptographic key to secure the data in the cloud. The proposed approach has been implemented
A DYNAMIC APPROACH FOR BRAIN TUMOR DETECTION USING EDGE DETECTION TECHNIQUE
Image process is most typically victimized framework in medical imaging. A foundation uncovering is alive for its trustiness and warrant that delivers a stronger understanding of seeable representation within the applications of laptop modality, same prosy catching, confronting perception, and recording force succeed. Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms are principally victimized for analyzing the medical pictures which may make, stage and categorize the tumor into sub classes, coherent with that the identification would be through by the professionals. during this production, we've mentioned the technique that's used for tumor pre-processing, and sorting
