Background & objective: The transcellular transport of phosphate from the intestinal lumen to the blood requires • Phosphate uptake across the brush border of the enterocyte • Its sojourn through the cytoplasm and • Its exit across the basolateral membrane. The rate-limiting step and the main energy driving part of absorption is first step. Extensive studies are carried out on the luminal phosphate uptake but not on the exit process of phosphate from the cell.

86 year old male with multiple comorbidities including a low EF was admitted to our hospital with fracture neck femur and was to undergo a cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty. After optimization and taking a well-informed high risk consent, the patient was given PNS guided Lumbar plexus and Sciatic block. He remained hemodynamically stable till 5 min of cementing with high viscosity Polymethymethacrylate cement.

Background: - Old age is a normal, inevitable, biological phenomenon. Discoveries in medical science and improved social condition during past few decades have increased the life span of man, from 46.5 yrs in 1950-55 to 69 by 2008. The elderly population account for 7.2% 0f total population in 2003.both the share and size of elderly population is increasing over time from 5.6% in 1961 and is projected to rise to 12.4% of population by year 2026. Aim: The present study was conducted to study the socio-demographic profile and to highlight the health and social problems of the elders.

We present a study of blood gas parameters in 20 cases of organophosphorus compound poisoning to study the Arterial Blood Gases in subjects of organophosphorus compounds poisoning through ABG analysis in Government General Hospital, Rajiv Gandhi Medical Sciences, Ongole.

Introduction: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is the most common bacterial infection in human population and also one of the most frequently occurring nosocomial infection. The prevalence of UTI depends on age, sex, comorbid conditions, genital hygiene etc. Aims: Present study was conducted to determine the spectrum of causative agents responsible for UTI and to detect the extent of drug resistance. Methodology: The present cross sectional study was conducted in Government Medical College and Hospital, Akola (Maharashtra, India).

We present a Case Report of a 65 year old immunocompetent woman presenting with Herpes Zoster skin lesions along with Uveitis and Hyphema. The condition resolved in 3 weeks with oral acyclovir therapy and topical steroids

Objective: To develop regression model for height prediction using age, length of ulna and fibula in Indian and Iraqi populations. Methods: Apparently healthy 103 Indians (48 Male and 55 Female) and 93 Iraqi (40 male and 53 female) aged 18 to 32 years were enrolled for the study. Length of right ulna, length of right fibula and height were recorded using standard anthropometric instruments. Models were developed for height prediction separately for males and females in Indian as well as Iraqi population using length of fibula, length of ulna and both.

Background: Glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes that play a key role in detoxification of activated carcinogens are shown to be one of the potential modifiers of individualized risk for several cancer types. Objective: This purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of the GSTT1 null genotype in Polycythaemia vera patients in sudan. Materials and Methods: Fifty polycythaemia vera patients and fifty controls were evaluated to determine the frequency of GSTT1 null genotype. Red cell parameters were performed by an automated cell analyzer.

Background: The search for sickle cell disease (SCD) prognosis biomarkers is a challenge. These markers identification can help to establish further therapy, later severe clinical complications and with patients follow-up. We attempted to study a possible involvement of plasmalipid level in steady-state children with SCD, once that this lipid marker has been correlated with hematological parameters . Methods: We prospectively analyzed plasma lipid profile and hematological biomarkers of 50 steady-state infants with SCD in Sudan, Khartoum state mindary BA88A made in china .

A retrospective analysis of data collected from a group of 565 patients diagnosed as idiopathic orofacial pain patients at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Eastman Dental Institute, London, United Kingdom. Thirty nine percent of the patients were regarded as dropout as they fail to attend more than the first visit and they were not recorded as discharged patients. The remaining 349 patients (61%) were regarded as the treatment group and followed after for a minimum of one year.
